   I had posted this on another thread but it's now been marked resolved without an answer to my query...

   I want to exclude the sticky posts from the loop and the previous thread had this solution;

   query_posts(array(
   "post__not_in"	 =>	get_option("sticky_posts")
   ));

   I've used this solution but it's not working for me. I'm using it in the second loop in my home.php file, which is preceded by wp_reset_query().

   The first loop uses this wp_query:
   query_posts(array('post__in'=>get_option('sticky_posts')));

   The second uses:
   query_posts(array("post__not_in"=>get_option("sticky_posts")));

   But I see the same (sticky) post as the first post produced by both loops. In date order it would be the third post.

   Any idea why this wouldn't work?

   It's probably better you started another topic anyway...

   As for ignoring sticky posts, the query_posts() article shows
   

   query_posts('caller_get_posts=1');

   Yep, but caller_get_posts only returns sticky posts to the normal chronological order. I want all sticky posts to be excluded from the loop, which the query_posts() article says is possible by using
   

   query_posts(array(
   "post__not_in"	 =>	get_option("sticky_posts")
   ));

   Problem is, that isn't working!

   According to @wefixwp, the WP documentation on this is wrong.

   To get around it, I've produced a normal, all-inclusive loop and wrapped all the HTML code within it this IF statement:
   if (!is_sticky())

   This stops the loop actually writing out the post if it is a sticky post. I guess it works but that documentation needs cleaning up.

   This returned every post except for sticky posts:
   

   <?php
   $myposts = get_posts(array(
   'post__not_in' => get_option("sticky_posts"),
   'showposts' => -1
   ));
   echo "<pre>"; print_r($myposts); echo "</pre>";
   ?>
