Hi
This is what Im trying to accomplish:

Display four posts from one category and then one post from another category and so on:

cat 1
cat 1
cat 1
cat 1
cat 2
cat 1
cat 1
cat 1
cat 1
cat 2
...
I use two loops based on query posts inside the standard loop. It all works but my pagination fails. If I set post_per_page to for example ten, WP displays 10 posts of posts from both categories (ten posts from cat 1 ten posts from cat 2). I have limited the second category to only show post_per_page/4 but thats only a bad solution. I should also mention that I have a lot of categories and sub-categories that I dont display and in the beginning of the code I loop trough these and put them in arrays so the query know which posts to loop trough. Here is the code, any solutions??

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php $postNum = 0; ?>
<?php $themeNum = 0; ?>
<?php $themeSpace = 4; ?>
<?php $bigPostThumb = 0; ?>
<?php
$postArray = array();
$themeAuthors = array();

$my_query = new WP_Query('cat=6');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();

if (is_sticky()) :
$post_ID = $post->ID;
array_push($postArray,$post_ID);
endif;

if (get_post_meta($post->ID, "author", false)) :

foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
if ($category->cat_ID != 6) {
$catIDs = $category->cat_ID;

$mykey_values = get_post_custom_values('author');
foreach ( $mykey_values as $key => $value ) {
${'catIDs'} = array(ID => $catIDs, author => $value );
}
array_push($themeAuthors,${'catIDs'});
}
}

$post_ID = $post->ID;
array_push($postArray,$post_ID);

endif;
?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

$argPosts = array(
'showposts' => get_option('posts_per_page')-(get_option('posts_per_page')/$themeSpace),
'category__in' => array(3,4),
'paged'=>$paged,
);

$argThemes = array(
'showposts' => get_option('posts_per_page')/$themeSpace,
'cat' => 6,
'post__not_in' => $postArray,
'paged'=>$paged,
);
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if (is_sticky()) : ?>
<!-----------------STICKY POST---------------------------->
<?php
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
if ($category->cat_ID != 6) {
$catName = $category->cat_name;
$catID = $category->cat_ID;
$category_link = get_category_link( $category->cat_ID);
$post_ID = $post->ID;
}
};
?>
