You may want to place a reset query at the end of your code.

I am trying to use this code on a page. It shows the list of posts as expected, but also the posts content at the bottom of the page which I do not want. I am not sure why this is happening. any Ideas?

Thank you for a great tip and your site is awesome.

Hmm … are member posts restricted in some way? That is the only cause for this problem that I can think of so far.

Hello.
Nice Post, Nice Site.
I, also found you via google.
I have been working on this problem for 2 days, and still cannot get it to work.
At the top ( or bottom) of the “Members” page, I want to display just the lastest post in the category “Meetings” (cat_ID=10), in order to display the date/time/infor for the Next Meeting.

I am using the code you have above, [ query_posts('showposts=1&cat=10'); ], and many variations, including some that use array. I have also added [wp_reset_query();] But I cannot get it to work !

I can get Either 1 post, the latest post, irrespective of category,
or I get All posts in the meetings category.
But it will not honor both !

Has anything changed in wordpress since this article. I have run across several other comments at various websites that report similar troubles.

Otherwise, any suggestions as to what might be causing the fail?
Any direction to look into is soo greatly appreciated.

I am using wordpress 3.1.3, php5
I have tried this in 2 themes, that are about 2 years apart in publication date.

thanks in spades to anyone who can help me along in this path !
