Hi,
I'm trying to design my category page as my homepage, but Its posting homepage posts not the category's own post. Here is the code for that :
PHP Code:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<div class="homecol1">
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1&offset=0'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<div style="background: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #C8C8C8;
-moz-border-radius: 0 0 15px 0;
-webkit-border-radius: 0 0 15px 0;
-khtml-border-radius: 0 0 15px 0;
border-radius: 0 0 15px 0;
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 10px 0 #464646;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 10px 0 #464646;
-khtml-box-shadow: 3px 3px 10px 0 #464646;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 10px 0 #464646;
padding: 0px 15px 0px 15px; ">
<h1 class="mainitem"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Image', true) ) { ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Image", true); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?> <?php _e('thumbnail'); ?>" align="top" border="0" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;width: 380px; height: 232px;"/></a>
<?php } else { ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/default.gif" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" align="top" border="0" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;width: 380px; height: 232px;"/></a>

You need to specify that you only want posts belonging to that category in the WP_Query constructor.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_...ory_Parameters
Note that the query_posts function and the constructor for WP_Query take the same arguments.
Assuming the id of the category is 1 you would need to change this:
PHP Code:
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1&offset=0'); ?>
to
PHP Code:
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('posts_per_page=1&cat=1'); ?>
Notice that I changed showposts to posts_per_page. showposts is deprecated. I also removed offset since you don't need to specify if the offset is 0. |

@Null Pointer : It'd return the post of cat=1
I want the category to get id itself and show that category's posts.

So you want to set your homepage to a specific category page, but you don't want to specify the category?
Either there is something I'm missing or this isn't possible. The only way wordpress knows to fetch posts from a particular category is if the category is explicitly specified in the code (as I demonstrated) or if the category is specified in the url (which wouldn't be the case for the homepage).

No, I don't want to change my homepage main post. As, title of the post suggests, that I'm designing a new category page. That's why, I'm asking you that it should get category id on its own.
I want to post category posts in category page(not the HomePage).

I was going off of what you said here:

Wordpress generates the query for you based on the url. If for whatever reason you need to modify the query you can get the current category by calling:
PHP Code:
get_the_category()
prior to creating a new query object (or calling query_posts).
Alternatively you can get the current query from the existing wp_query object and adjust it as needed:
PHP Code:
global $wp_query;
$query = $wp_query->query_vars;
$query['showposts'] = 1;
query_posts($query);
Here is some documentation:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_...ce/query_posts
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_...t_the_category

@NullPointer : Kindly adjust it for me as I'm not a PHP expert.
How to use get_the_category ($id) ?
Kindly do it for the first post, I'll try it for others.
Should I post the current code (I'm using currently), here? Would it be helpful?
PHP Code:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content_inner">
<h1 class="inneritem"><?php single_cat_title(''); ?> News</h1>
<div style="border-bottom:1px solid #dddddd; margin: 0px 13px 0px 35px; clear:both;"></div>
<div class="innercol1">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h1 class="cat_item"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<div id="toolbox">
<div class="tools_date">
<p><?php $publishedon = get_option('stylewp_publishedon'); echo $publishedon; ?> <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></p>
</div>
<div class="tools_options">
<p>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/icon_comment.gif" alt="comment" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0;margin: 0px 2px 4px 0px;"><?php comments_number('No Comments','1 Comment','% Comments'); ?>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Image', true) ) { ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Image", true); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?> <?php _e('thumbnail'); ?>" align="right" style="border-left: 1px solid #cccccc; padding: 0px 0px 0px 20px; margin: 10px 0px 10px 20px;width: 300px; height: 169px;"/>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php the_excerpt(__('Keep Reading'));?><br />
<div style="border-bottom:1px solid #dddddd; margin-bottom:5px; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; clear:both;"></div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<p><?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('« Previous Page'), __('Next Page »')); ?></p>
</div>
<div class="innercol2">
<div class="ad300">
<?php $banner4 = get_option('stylewp_banner4'); echo stripslashes($banner4); ?>
</div>
<h1 class="sidetitle"><?php $sidelatest = get_option('stylewp_sidelatest'); echo $sidelatest; ?></h1>
<ul>
<?php
$sidebarlatest = get_option('stylewp_sidebarlatest');
$the_query = new WP_Query('showposts=' . $sidebarlatest . '&offset=0&orderby=post_date&order=desc');
$counter = 0;
while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

If you are looking to design a page for a specific category you can alternately create a "category-(your-category-slug).php" file OR "category-(the cat ID).php.
For instance, a category page file name for "Piano Lessons" could be:
category-piano-lessons.php
Wordpress knows then to use that template file(see link below) as the template for that category. Therefore, you don't need to "tell" it to look for a specific cat ID, etc. before pulling the posts data.
Otherwise, as NullPointer pointed out, wordpress needs something to tell it what to get from the database.
See here for template hierarchy info:

If you replace
PHP Code:
$my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1&offset=0');
with
PHP Code:
global $wp_query;
$query = $wp_query->query_vars;
$query['showposts'] = 1;
$query['offset'] = 0;
$my_query = new WP_Query($query);
it should work.
I noticed that you're creating a new query object for each post. In other words you're executing a separate query for every post.
I recommend you go over some of the documentation:
