Specific post category in a page

[victortai]

Hi,

I created a page, which suppose to display only specific category of the posts.

For “Select Blog Category” option, I select 1 specific category.
For “Post for Cover” option, I set as “Show the Latest Post”.
However the latest post on this page always the last post, regardless of any category.

Please let me know how can I provide the login for you so that you can take a look.

Cheers.

Hi, thanks for using REAL

please try to set “Select a Particular Post”, you could pickup a post as cover.

Hi,

It mean I have to manually select a post as cover. I have to do that everytime I publish a new post. How do I select a latest post from that particular category?

Don’t you think display a latest post as cover, regardless of any category, even I already select a category – is very wrong?

Did you mean that set category for “Show the Latest Post”?
We’ll make some study to add this option.
There is a quick solution:
login FTP, find:
/functions/interface/interface-functions.php
edit line 972:
$get_posts = get_posts('posts_per_page=1');
update to:
$get_posts = get_posts( array('posts_per_page'=>1,'category_name'=>'featured'));

'category_name'=>'featured'

replaced featured as your category name

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. The above method will not work, as it can’t be hard code.

Take below as example:

I have 3 post category: Travel, Photography, Foods.
I created 3 pages, each page display the posts from specific category. Each page using the option “Show the Latest Post”.
Now, I publish a new post with category Photography.

I click on page for Travel, the cover I see is the latest post from Photography – This is very wrong. Reader supposed to see only latest post from Travel.
I click on page for Photography, the cover I see is the latest post from Photography – This is ok.
I click on page for Foods, the cover I see is the latest post from Photography – This is very wrong. Reader supposed to see only latest post from Foods.

Hence this is the problem I am facing. Hope you can fix it soon.
