Output only the latest post from each child category

[palmtree]

Hello Code Master,

I’ve been searching on google how to do this for more than 6 hours today but I couldn’t find the solution. I am devastating.. I want to output only one latest post each from each children’s category under their parents (cat=3). So far, apart from getting more than 1 post from each child category, it is successful. My code is below.

At the moment,
<?php $args = array('numberposts' => 1) ?>

As you can easily guess..this code doesn’t seem to do anything but I hope you know what I am trying to do here. I want to limit each child category’s post to be just one (the latest post) by putting numberposts (=> 1).

My question could be little too far from the level of support you offer to the theme users however it would be great if you could take a look at this.

Thank you.
Palmtree

Thank you very much for the link. I have followed the explanation in those pages and created the code http://pasted.co/090113c2

But this code output only one post under the cat id=54.
There are multiple child categories under id=54. And what I want to do is to output one (latest) post from each category.

For example, if there are 7 categories under the cat id=54, the number of output post should be 7. I hope you can get what I have been trying to do…

I have posted this question to stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43611578/output-latest-posts-from-each-child-categories-of-particular-parent-category. So far no luck.
But you are more than welcome to give me some advise. If you could do, it would be awesome!

Sorry to hear you are still having trouble with this. Have been extremely busy moving to a new domain, new server etc. Will find some time and see if I can address this. Also, pls post to https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/ as well meanwhile and see if there is any luck.
