    Hi there,

    I’m using SilverMag Pro for my website. I’m using the traditional view with Recent Posts. How can I make Recent Posts to select articles from one category only and not all of them.

    Your help is appreciated.

    Hi,

    Add the following code in the functions.php file and replace the 5 with your category ID.

    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'foo_modify_query_show_category' );
function foo_modify_query_show_category( $query ) {
    if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && ! $query->get( 'cat' ) )
        $query->set( 'cat', '5' );
}

    To find cat id, go to WP > Post > Categories > edit category.. You can find the (ex;tag_ID=5) cat ID like this. Use that number in the above code.

    Thanks.
