I’m building my first WordPress site, and The Loop is giving me a bit of a headache. I’ve read through the official document from WordPress, but nothing good came of it.
What I’m looking to do is get 4 posts from each category. I have an accordion-like layout, so each "tab" will show 4 posts from their respective category. So far I can only seem to show the 10 most recent posts, which isn’t any good, as I might do 5 posts in a row in one category, and so on…
Also, if you have any good hints on how I could go about doing the splitting of posts depending on their category, that would be helpful. Right now, I’m using jQuery to pick out posts with class of "category-catName", and moving them to the correct place.
Code:Category 1 Header
Category 2 Header
…
Then getting all posts, picking out posts depening on their category, and placing them in their category-div, under the header.

Code:showposts=Number of posts to show
The rest of the code is optional

The following snippet is an example:
Code:“;
foreach ($categories as $category) {
echo “AuthorPostsViewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)- The forum ‘Back End’ is closed to new topics and replies.
