HOW TO DISPLAY A LIST OF POSTS BY CATEGORY ON ANY PAGE IN WORDPRESS

<?php $catquery = new WP_Query( 'cat=72&posts_per_page=5' ); ?>
<ul>
 
<?php while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post(); ?>
 
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile;
    wp_reset_postdata();
?>

The first line of this code creates a new WordPress query with a specific category ID. You need to replace it with your own category ID. It only shows post title in a list. You can change it to display full content by adding the following code:

<?php $catquery = new WP_Query( 'cat=72&posts_per_page=5' ); ?>
<ul>
<?php while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post(); ?>
<li><h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<ul><li><?php the_content(); ?></li>
</ul>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?> 
</ul>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

You can also replace the the_content with the_excerpt to display post excerpts instead of full article.

We hope this article showed you how to easily display recent posts from a specific category in WordPress.
