Category Woes

[senthil]

Hi,

After spending hours tinkering with Lifestyle 3.0, going through the support forum and installing the Reveal ID for Admin plugin, I still am unable to solve the following issue:

I created a second Homepage Bottom1 box which I want to name as Travel. I have also created a test post.

Using the above mentioned plug-in, I found out that the category ID for Travel is 28.
And I copied and pasted Homepage Bottom code in Home.php and renamed the cat to the appropriate number.
Still, it does not work.
All I get is the Musings Category, which is actually the Uncategorised Category.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am copying the code.
thanks

<div id="homepagebottom1">

<div class="hpbottom">
<?php $feature_cat_28 = get_option('lifestyle_feature_cat_28'); $feature_cat_28_num = get_option('lifestyle_feature_cat_28_num'); if(!$feature_cat_28) $feature_cat_28 = 1; //setting a default ?>
<h3><?php echo cat_id_to_name($feature_cat_28); ?></h3>



<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=".$feature_cat_28."&showposts=".$fea ture_cat_28_num); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, "hpbottom", true) ): ?>
[img]<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, [/img]" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
<?php else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_content_limit(80, ""); ?>


<div style="border-bottom:1px dotted #94B1DF; margin-bottom:10px; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; clear:both;"></div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
