How to get all posts from one category in Wordpress

Question

How to get all posts from one category. i tried this code , it's not showing any output.Is it correct or any correction is here? Thanks.

  include('wp-config.php');


  global $wp_query;

 $args = ('category=news&posts_per_page=-1');

 $myposts = get_posts( $args );


 foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); 
   $result =  array(
   "id"=>$args['ID'],
   "type"=>$args['post_type'],
   "url"=>$args['guid']);
 endforeach; 

wp_reset_postdata();
print($result);

Where are you running this code and why do you call `global $wp_query`. Why not make use of the [`WP_POST` Member Variables](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Post). — Pieter Goosen, Jul 25 '14 at 09:06
Am just create one php file and testing. i want to display post from one category, but in array. can you help me. — Guna, Jul 25 '14 at 09:28
`$result = array( "id"=>$args['ID'], "type"=>$args['post_type'], "url"=>$args['guid']);` Result should be inside array — Guna, Jul 25 '14 at 09:51

Try below :-

    global $wp_query;

 $args = ('category=news&posts_per_page=-1');

 $myposts = get_posts( $args );


 foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); 

   $result[] =  array(
   "id"=>$post->ID, // changed $args to $post
   "type"=>$post->post_type,
   "url"=>$post->guid);
 endforeach; 

wp_reset_postdata();
print_r($result);

are you just trying to get posts from a category?

This is a handy code from the Codex that I keep around. Use this on any custom category page or anywhere on any page, for that matter, to start the loop. Make sure you put your category slug into the right spot in the code.

query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'my-category-slug', 'posts_per_page' => -1 ) );
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
// YOUR STUFF LIKE the_title(); or the_content();
endwhile; endif;

This is NOT a fix to your code, but it answers the question you asked. I think your problem may be in the use of $args inside the loop (seems odd), but if you want me to make sure I might need more of the code or a working example I can see.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#All_Posts_in_a_Category

AHEM...yeah... I'm an idiot... don't go pasting this around. Use WP_Query!! thanks Pieter.

yes. it's works. but i want to show result in array. foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); $result = array( "id"=>$args['ID'], "type"=>$args['post_type'], "url"=>$args['guid']); endforeach; this section is correct or not? [ID, post_type, guid's are column name of WP_posts].is it possible to show like this? – Guna Jul 25 '14 at 08:18
I might be confused... what unique information are you trying to store in the array? You are calling $args, which is ('category=news&posts_per_page=-1'), and not any kind of loop command that might store a variable you want... such as getting the ID (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_ID), getting the post type (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_type), or the link (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_permalink). I think $args might be throwing an error with its odd formatting in the array? I am not a PHP expert. – tempranova Jul 25 '14 at 08:30

`query_posts` should **NEVER** be used. If you need a custom query, use `WP_Query` or `get_posts`. If you need to alter the main query, use `pre_get_posts` – Pieter Goosen Jul 25 '14 at 09:08

If you want to display posts from a specific category in the category page, you can use the below given code in your theme's category.php file.

<?php
    if(have_posts()) :
        while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
            <?php
                the_post_thumbnail();
                the_content();    
            ?>
<?php
        endwhile;        
    endif;
?>

If you want to display the same in pages other than category page, just add the following code to the corresponding files.

<?php
    $posts = new WP_Query();
    $posts->query( "category_name='{enter your category slug here}'&posts_per_page=-1" );
    if($posts->have_posts()) :
        while ($posts->have_posts()) : $posts->the_post();
?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
            <?php
                the_post_thumbnail();
                the_content();    
            ?>
<?php
        endwhile;        
    endif;
    wp_reset_postdata();
?>

On your theme directory, search category.php. If it doesn't contain, create a new file category.php and paste this code:

<?php if(have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
    <?php the_excerpt();?>
<?php endwhile; else :?>
<?php endif;?>
