Today, I’d just like to share with everyone this neat WordPress trick by Libby Fisher from Icode4you.net. It’s a short code that will not only let you display the most recent post titles from a certain category but also let you specify how many titles you want displayed.

Below is the code:

<ul>

<?php

global $cat;

$recentPosts = new   WP_Query();

$recentPosts->query('showposts=5&cat=389');

?>

<?php while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) :   $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>

<li><a   href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"   rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php endwhile; ?></ul>

You can increase or decrease the number of posts to be displayed as you like, and don’t forget to change the category id accordingly (both highlighted in red).
