Das Template-Tag get_archives( ) wird normalerweise dazu benutzt, um Posts zu einer bestimmten Kategorie anzuzeigen. Anwendung z.B. für die Sidebar wie folgt:

<h2>Recent Posts</h2>
<ul>
<?php get_archives( 'postbypost', 6 ); ?>
</ul>

Hat man nun viele Kategorien und möchte Artikel zu einer ganz bestimmten Kategorie herausfischen, so muß man eine eigene kleine Datenbankabfrage hinzufügen, was in WordPress aber reletiv einfach ist:

<ul>
<?php
$recent = new WP_Query( "cat=1&showposts=10" );
while( $recent->have_posts( )): $recent->the_post( );
?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink( ); ?>" rel="bookmark">
<?php the_title( ); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

Das ist also noch recht übersichtlich. Die gewünschte Kategorie-ID holt man sich aus dem Backend (der Adminoberfläche) von WordPress, unter “Verwalten” / “Kategorien” steht die ID zu jeder Kategorie in der ersten Spalte.

Viel Spaß damit
