    I would like to show only posts that are labeled as a particular category and ignore the rest. I think I need to do something with Theme Filters, but I have no clue where to start.

    Please help! Thanks!

    I tried the below code and it does NOT work. I am not sure how to edit the loop so it would show posts only related to one category. Please help me solve this issue.

    /*
*
* Show only posts marked as 'front' category to show on the homepage
*
*/
function childtheme_content($content) {
	if (is_home() || is_front_page() || is_archive()) {
		if( is_category('101')){
				$content= 'full';
		}
		else{
                        //Don't show anything
			$content= 'none';
		}
	}
	return $content;
}
add_filter('thematic_content', 'childtheme_content');

    Thanks!

    Just as a clarification, above code shows full posts for post labeled as category 101 and only title + meta information about other posts. However, I would like to not show other posts at all. How do I do that?

    Thanks

    Ok finally figured it out. I added the following in my functions.php file

    /*
*
* Show only posts marked as 'front' category to show on the homepage
*
*/
function only_front_posts() {
	if(is_home()|| is_front_page()) {
		query_posts ($query_string . '&cat=101');
	}
}
add_action('thematic_above_indexloop','only_front_posts');
