    Hi,

    Currently the option is not available to display the latest blog posts from selected category.
    But with some code changes in custom-functions.php file we will do it for you.

    Please send your website URl and WordPress admin login details for temporary at [email protected] so we can check and make this changes.

    We will happy to help you.

    Regards

    Hi,

    I have changed the code in custom-functions.php file to display blog post by category

    Just use the categoty=”17″ in latest news shortcode and change the category ID
    [latest-news categoty=”17″ showposts=”3″ comment=”show” date=”show” author=”show”]

    Regards

    Support,

    You changed the ‘custom-functions.php’ but you didn’t show the before and after code. This would be useful so people could make these changes themselves without bothering support.

    Hi,

    It needed to make the changes in the custom-functions.php file

    Add this at line no. 883

    ‘catname’ => ”,

    Replace below code

    query_posts( array( ‘posts_per_page’=>$showposts, ‘post__not_in’ => get_option(‘sticky_posts’) ) );

    With this:

    $args = array( ‘category_name’ => $catname, ‘posts_per_page’ => $showposts, ‘post__not_in’ => get_option(‘sticky_posts’), ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘order’ => ‘desc’ );
