I have created a custom section, which uses wp_query to pull out posts of a particular category only. The section is intended to be used on custom page templates. I have created an option for this, so that the user can choose the category of posts that should be displayed. The option is a simple dropdown containing the list of categories.

When I select a category from site wide options, it all works fine - only the posts in the chosen category are displayed. But when I select a category from the page options, it isn't applied. Here is my code:

Setting up the option in my section .php file:

Pulling out the option:

I had a look at the developer docs but the options section doesn't seem to be populated. Any help on how I can apply the option when selected from the page would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks,

John

Hi Rob,

Thanks for getting back to me. I've pasted the following:

section.php
AAMHCPostsCategory (a supporting class, which extends pagelinesposts)
functions.php

Let me know if you need anything else.

Well, we need the links to what you posted. There are tens of thousands of postings in the pastebin.

Sorry, I should have explained that.

I have sussed this one out. I replaced $this->oset with an array and populated the items individually. Here is the old code:
