When I click the link on my categorie

http://blog.akaleez.co.uk/?cat=Freebies is does not just show the posts in cat freebies it shows all of the posts as well as the freebies, any idea why?

Thanks.

Have a look at this page which explains how to make categories work that way.

Yeah, thats what I followed from the start. Still showing other posts.

Could it be because I have asked for 3 posts per page so when 3 freebie posts are on one page then 2 on another so to be the third its another different post? possible problem?

The problem is that on the first page, it shows only articles assigned to the freebies category, which is good, problem is when you view page 2, notice when viewing page 2 that the URL no longer has ?cat=Freebies, so the system doesn't know to show only those articles, to fix that add this variable before your include

Code:


$linkprefix = 'cat=Freebies&';

So it should look something like this

Code:


<?php
// any other code you have
$linkprefix = 'cat=Freebies&';
include 'news/index.php';
?>

Thank you very much. That worked.

Only problem is at the bottom for my old news its now showing just the freebies not the other old news.

Try this code instead

Code:


<?php
if($_GET['cat']){
    $cat = array();
    $cat[] = $_GET['cat'];
    $linkprefix = 'cat=' . $_GET['cat'] . '&';
}
include 'news/index.php';
?>
