    How can I get my new posts, in my other categories, to display on the front page?

    HELP! I am not super techy, but I though I could figure this out. WRONG! I create a new topic, then write a post, but it will not display on the front page in the main 3 columns. However, if I set all posts to topic/category of the default miscellaneous, those will post on front page.

    Using WPv2.5

    Do I need a certain plugin?

    Please, I've been trying everything, no luck.

    Sorry about that.

    I have no real content as I just started this blog, but I have test categories and posts.

    I could use another of your templates, but at this point I really want to know how to fix it, (plus I love this theme).

    Thanks. Did I mention your work is incredible.

    I was in a hurry, must of deleted it. Anyway, sorry to keep bugging you, but the posts to the frontpage will still only show in the default category, which I changed to "OTHER STUFF". I put a test post to "ENTERTAINMENT" and it won't show on the frontpage.

    Do I need the polls and popularity plug-ins installed?

    I would think any new category post would show here <div id="middle"> first.

    Thanks again, Mike.

    No need for polls or popularity pi, it's just an option.

    Posts:
    open in wp admin
    → design → theme editor → home php template
    find this line:
    php query_posts('cat=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,11&showposts=1
    replace it with this one:
    php query_posts('showposts=1
    save it

    open next middle php template
    find this line:
    php query_posts('cat=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8&showposts=1&offset=1
    replace it with this one:
    php query_posts('showposts=1&offset=1
    save it

    open next r_sidebar php template
    find this line:
    php query_posts('cat=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8&showposts=1&offset=2
    replace it with this one:
    php query_posts('showposts=1&offset=2
    save it

    open next s_footer php template
    find this line:
    php query_posts('cat=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11&showposts=3&offset=2
    replace it with this one:
    php query_posts('showposts=3&offset=2

    find this line:
    php query_posts('cat=5&showposts=3&offset=
    replace cat 5 with your desired category ID:

    save the file

    that should do the fix.
