   Hi,

   I have created a custom page template in WP.
   Within this page I have created a query that displays all posts from a specific category. What I would now like to do is place the original page content + comments at the bottom.

   For some reason it is showing the titles from the previous query loop.
   This is the page: http://dinky.nicholasoliver.co.uk/

   I have tried a few various options like wp_reset_query and defining parameters for a new loop but none seem to work.

   Does anyone have a suggestion on how I might go about stopping the first loop and then loading the pages content?

   thanks

   Try a variation of this.
   <?php
       $args=array(
         'category__in' = array(7,45),
         'showposts' => 5,
         'caller_get_posts'=>1
       );
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         echo '5 recent Posts';
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
           <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
          <?php
         endwhile;
       } //if ($my_query)
     wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>
