Limit Blog Template to particular category

[babaLucas]

Hello, I’ve searched the forum & found this below to be the answer to my question, but it doesn’t work for me. I want to limit the blog template to only show category ID 2.

Go to the theme folder and open the file “template-blog.php”. In line #23, replace the following code:

$query = array('posts_per_page' => intval(get_option('posts_per_page')), 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 0, 'paged' => $paged);

With this new one:

$query = array('posts_per_page' => intval(get_option('posts_per_page')), 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 0, 'paged' => $paged, cat=2);

I’ve used it in both the child and parent theme; but it hasn’t worked. Am I missing something?

Can you pls check if the following link helps (utilizes category slug instead of category id) –
