I am using the Yoko theme and would like to show the most recent full post in category 1 on the home page. I am a Wordpress newbie, but my approach was going to be to provide my own index.php in a child theme. The parent theme has relevant code that looks like this:
<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php /* Display navigation to next/previous pages when applicable */ ?>
I had thought I needed to place a line like this prior to the while loop:
<?php query_posts('cat=1&posts_per_page=1'); ?>
However, I see the partial post only. I have also tried to do the same sort of thing with single.php. I am sure I am missing something simple. Can someone school me on the loop?
