showposts和posts_per_page都无法在我的主页上运行

Question

Have a homepage, things are coming along great.

but the home page is supposed to show 1 post from each designated category... it's showing more...

tried using showposts, and posts_per_page, with no success

here's a copy of the page with both being used to no avail:

have_posts()) : $mb_recent->the_post(); $more = 0; ?>

  <!-- post --> <div class="post archive"> <div class="post-comments"><?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?></div> <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <div class="post-date"><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></div> <?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post_image_value', true)) { ?><div class="post-tnail"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post_image_value', true) && $mb_resize == 0) { ?><img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/thumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "post_image_value", $single = true); ?>&amp;w=98&amp;h=98&amp;zc=1&amp;q=95" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /><?php } else if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post_image_value', true) && $mb_resize == 1) { ?><img src="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "post_image_value", $single = true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /><?php } ?></a></div><?php } ?> <?php the_excerpt() ?> <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="more">Continue reading... </a></p> </div> <!-- /post --> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php $mb_recent = new WP_Query('cat=5' . $mb_blog . '&posts_per_page=1' . $mb_blog_home . ''); ?> <?php while ($mb_recent->have_posts()) : $mb_recent->the_post(); $more = 0; ?> <!-- post --> <div class="post archive"> <div class="post-comments"><?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?></div> <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <div class="post-date"><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></div> <?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post_image_value', true)) { ?><div class="post-tnail"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post_image_value', true) && $mb_resize == 0) { ?><img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/thumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "post_image_value", $single = true); ?>&amp;w=98&amp;h=98&amp;zc=1&amp;q=95" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /><?php } else if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post_image_value', true) && $mb_resize == 1) { ?><img src="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "post_image_value", $single = true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /><?php } ?></a></div><?php } ?> <?php the_excerpt() ?> <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="more">Continue reading...</a></p> </div> 

Answer 1

I had this problem as well using both "showposts" and "posts_per_page". It was solved for me as soon as I added "ignore_sticky_posts".

$minposts = new WP_Query( array(
            'posts_per_page'=> 3,
            'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1
        )   
    );      

Answer 2

I'm not sure what the variables $mb_blog and $mb_blog_home contain but I'm sure they will be causing the issue.

You should just need category and the posts_per_page in your query

<?php $mb_recent = new WP_Query('cat=5&posts_per_page=1'); ?>
