Find the following php code in index.php (around line 562)

$article_list = new Article_list();
$article_list->search(array('a.status' => 1, 'a.created' => $cur_date, 'a.featured_news'=> '0' ), 'order_desc', 'descending', $latest_news_number, 0);


What you should do is to add filter for categoriy/categories, something like this:

$article_list = new Article_list();
$article_list->search(array('a.cid' => '1', 'a.status' => 1, 'a.created' => $cur_date, 'a.featured_news'=> '0' ), 'order_desc', 'descending', $latest_news_number, 0);


The important part is 'a.cid' => '1'

Good question Tobes! I also want to know how to display like 3 different categories on site's index with their latest 5 posts in descending order.

Thanks!
