How to get all posts related to particular category name?

6 comments

1. Just use WP_Query() to generate your custom query, using the category parameters.

   Assuming you know (or know how to get) the ID of the specific category, as $catid:

   <?php
   $category_query_args = array(
       'cat' => $catid
   );
   
   $category_query = new WP_Query( $category_query_args );
   ?>
   

   Note: you could also pass the category slug to the query, via category_name, instead of cat.

   Now, just output your loop:

   <?php
   if ( $category_query->have_posts() ) : while $category_query->have_posts() : $category_query->the_post();
   // Loop output goes here
   endwhile; endif;
   ?>

2. That would depend on when and how exactly you want to use it – but generally speaking you can either use a custom query , or simply use

   if in_category('my_cat_name_or_ID') {
   //do whatever
   }

3. Below code will fetch post title from particular category name.

    <?php 
         $myposts = get_posts(array(
         'showposts' => 8, //add -1 if you want to show all posts
         'post_type' => 'your-post-type',
         'tax_query' => array(
                     array(
                           'taxonomy' => 'your-taxonomy',
                           'field' => 'slug',
                           'terms' => 'term-name' //pass your term name here
                             )
                           ))
                          );
   
           foreach ($myposts as $mypost) {
           // echo $mypost->post_title . '<br/>';
           // echo $mypost->post_content . '<br/>';
           // echo  $mypost->ID . '<br/><br/>';
           echo '<li class="faq"> <p class="title"><a href="' . get_permalink($mypost) . '">' . $mypost->post_title . '</a></p></li>';} ?>

4. WP_Query‘s tax_query is, far and away, going to be the most flexible way to implement this. If you make the question a bit more specific, I should be able to crank out some sample code for you to get you going.

5. You can use a plugin (WordPress Category Posts) for that.

   WordPress Category Posts is a plugin for WordPress that creates a linked list of the posts in a specific category.

   Use the following code wherever you want to list the posts for a category:

   wp_cat_posts(get_cat_ID('your_category_name'));
   

   Many thanks.

6.  query_posts('category_name=my_category_name&showposts=5');
    while (have_posts()) : the_post();
    get_the_content();
    endwhile;
