WordPress Building simple lists using get_posts()

It’s really simple to build lists using the get_posts() method. Here’s an example of getting all the posts from a single category.

PHP

// Simple Lists
function get_simple_list($category) {

	global $post;
	$posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category='.$category);

	$html = '
'. get_cat_name($category) .'

';
	$html .= '
';
    foreach($posts as $post) :
		setup_postdata($post);
		$html .= '
';
		$html .= ''. the_title('','',false) .'';
		$html .= '

';
    endforeach;

	$html .= '

';

	return $html;
}

Use

_e(get_simple_list(5)); // Where 5 is the category ID
