How to display posts from a specific category in the Latest News section in Zelle

First of all, make sure that you create a child theme using this tutorial. Now copy /sections/latest_news.php and copy it to Child Theme. And yes, you do need to put it in the same folder structure.

Now find the following line in latest_news.php file:

$zerif_latest_loop = new WP_Query( apply_filters( 'zerif_latest_news_parameters', array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => $zerif_total_posts, 'order' => 'DESC','ignore_sticky_posts' => true )) );

and replace it with:

$zerif_latest_loop = new WP_Query( apply_filters( 'zerif_latest_news_parameters', array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => $zerif_total_posts, 'order' => 'DESC','ignore_sticky_posts' => true, 'category_name' => 'staff' )) );

Now replace the “staff” in the above line with your category slug.

And that’s all, folks. :)
