Don’t know what you are using for code so will give an example
<?php
//1 post from league news
$cat_id = get_cat_ID('league news');
$args=array(
'cat' => $cat_id,
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php
$dontdup = $my_query->post->ID;
the_content();
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
//now 4 more posts, except for the one we just displayed
$args=array(
'post__not_in' => array($dontdup),
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 4,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php
the_excerpt();
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
