Hi Moshu! This seems to be the exact problem I am having. Unfortunately, I’m having a hard time understanding how to fix this because your language is too technical. You see, I’m just a beginner and if it’s possible, maybe you can help me by explaining in a simpler language or visually using photos and videos? I would be deeply thankful!

php query_posts(’showposts=1&cat=75′);
php while (have_posts()) : the_post();
php if(get_the_excerpt()) { echo substr(get_the_excerpt(),0,150);} else {the_content_rss(”, TRUE, ”, 200); }

php endwhile;

Aha at last a blog I may leave a comment on about the question of Wordpress posts, pages and categories.
Now don’t get me wrong I love Wp but here are my thoughts on this topic…

The protocol for posts, pages and categories is a total **** up, the coder(s) for this nightmare should be shot (not fatally).

Sorry guys it is so user unfriendly for anyone like me who knows nothing about coding at all, as soon as I see php my eyes glaze over.

If I could code I would be determined to rewrite everything, indeed if I had the money I would pay someone to change it.

This is how…

1. Add a new page.

2. Add a category.

3. Add a post.

Just like Windows file manager, simple, easy to understand, job done. No problems for anyone.

But I expect because I don’t understand the ins and outs it cannot be done otherwise it would have been done that way to start with right?

Right, that’s got that off my chest, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved in Wp
it really is brilliant.
Tim.

THANK YOU so much! I have been looking for a post like this for 2 days!! It worked perfectly!

Is there a way to show an image (like the first image of the post) beside each post intro?? I’m sure it’s just a simple code but I’m not very familiar with PHP.

Thanks Moshu, you have indeed, pointed me in the right direction again.

I just need to look deeper into doing things the right way.
