Your template is duplicating your loop, post the code and we'll see what's wrong.

i also have it where i am displaying posts on my static front page and static news page

So , you have this above template used for your news and static home?
It's calling another template called "loop.single" which is actually what is displaying the posts. It's a single post view, so I don't understand how it outputs something like a blog archive.

otherwise, and i'm nosure how this relates if it's not being called, but in your main loop (the first code you posted)

<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
 <div class="entry-excerpt">
 <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
 </div><!-- .entry-summary -->
 <?php else : ?>
 <div class="entry-excerpt">
 <?php the_excerpt( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
 <?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
 </div><!-- .entry-content -->
 <?php endif; ?>

ussually looks like this:

<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
			<div class="entry-summary">
				<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
			</div><!-- .entry-summary -->
		<?php else : ?>
			<div class="entry-content">
				<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
			</div><!-- .entry-content -->
		<?php endif; ?>

your version has "if archive, "the_excerpt" else, the_excerpt" which I don't understad. You might try replacing it with the default code as I posted it, although I'm still confused about how your home page could be using loop.single. May want to post that code too.

hi thanks for responding,

I have two different page templates displayed and set in preferences the two to be static pages, one for my archive page displaying all my posts and my home page which I insert custom php code from wordpress to display a certain amount of posts (3). What I dont understand is why the archive page is displaying both of them, is it because I have them calling them same page, but havign different div classe?

<?php
/* Run the loop to output the post.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-single.php and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( 'loop', 'single' );
?>

they are identical, if I change it to call a different php or do i have to make a custom new one so it doesn't mix up?

I always use query_posts to get the output I want. Maybe two queries would work better for you?, you could make one output excerpts and the other content, different categories, numbers of posts, ect.

hey thanks deep for the explanation can you give me an idea on what to put so this could b fixed, here is the excerpt from the index page

<?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3 );
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>

<div class="post"><h2 class="entry-title">"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<div class="post" style="padding:20px 0 0 0;"><div style="width:658px;padding;10px;">Read More ></div></div>
</div></div>

and what do i need to change in the news default template?

thanks a million!

Just copy the div id/class stuff from your theme, so it works the same as here. Then just put in your category id's and adjust output as you wish.

<?php
/*
Template Name: Your Template Name Here
*/
?>

<?php
get_header(); ?>

		<div id="container">
			<div id="content" role="main">

<h3>Category 3</h3>			

<?php query_posts('cat=3 &posts_per_page=-1') ; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h4 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent Link to',  ) ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a></h4>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query();?>

h3>Category 4</h3>	

<?php query_posts('cat=4 &posts_per_page=3') ; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h4 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent Link to',  ) ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a></h4>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query();?>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #container -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

it should work!

where should i put this? I checked the code in dreamweaver and there were a parse error in the h4 class tags

It's an example of a custom page template.

this part:

<?php query_posts('cat=3 &posts_per_page=-1') ; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h4 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent Link to',  ) ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a></h4>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query();?>

<?php query_posts('cat=4 &posts_per_page=3') ; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h4 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent Link to',  ) ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a></h4>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query();?>

can go in or out of the loop. You might use it instead of your regular blog page so you have more control, that's why I suggest a custom page template. or you could use it conditionally in your regular page template.

Not sure about the error, maybe dreamwaever doesn't understand wordpress?(haha) you don't have to use h4, that's just the output, you can change that.

I don't really know code well, I just know what works from trying it.
I can guarantee you there's a better way to do this, or I just got really lucky!

deepbevel

you mean the category queries? you could use

</br>

between them. You could even use text or an image in the page template. Otherwise you could create css, which I know very little about except to make a div class for things. I've only done it a few times.

i have two pages, and its calling loop.php but both template files have two different pages but maybe its calling them same thing, one has 'news','loop' and the other has 'index','loop' inside the template files.

I am only using query posts in the index-loop.php template page.

deepbevel

So..

Page 1

(loop 1)
(loop 2)

Page 2

(loop 1)
(loop 2)

If this is basically what you have, what do you want which loop to be?

do you want each output to be a different category? And are you trying to combine your main blog loop with a custom loop in the same template?

crod310

I want it to use a different loop not be connected.

so page1
loop 1
loop 2

page 2
loop 3
loop 4

deepbevel

You can do that just by supplying the category names for each loop, here:

<?php query_posts('cat=3 &posts_per_page=-1') ; ?>

But, if one loop is

<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

I'm not sure if that will work, may be problems.

crod310
Member

both posts have <?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> is that why they are connected?

deepbevel

If you use query posts on the same static page as your main blog, which is set in Settings/General/Reading -it may cause problems.

could you post your template(s)?

I'm having a hard time understanding the problem, not sure what you mean by "connected".
