   My index.php has 2 main loops, the first loop reads out say some 8 posts and then breaks the loop; then the second loop continues from where the first loop stopped:

   <?php /***************** FIRST Loop ******************/?>
   <?php if (have_posts()):?>
   	<?php while (have_posts())  : the_post(); update_post_caches($posts);?>
   ......Do Stuff
   ......and BREAK the loop say after 8 posts
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   	<?php   else : ?>
   	  <div class="errorbox">
   		<?php
   		  _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'inove');?>
   	  </div>
   <?php  endif;?>
   
   <?php /***************** SECOND Loop ******************/?>
   <?php if (have_posts()):?>
   	<?php while (have_posts()): the_post();update_post_caches($posts);?>
   ......Do Stuff
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php  endif;?>

   and this works perfectly.

   But if just adding the following code at the beginning of the loop (inside the loop):
   <?php if (in_category('3')) continue; ?>

   screws up everything, in a way it looks like the loop is rewinded.
   Any hint?

   If you are trying to just display that category in the loop. Try use this.

   <?php
   
   			$temp = $wp_query;
   
   			$wp_query= null;
   
   			$wp_query = new WP_Query();
   
   			$wp_query->query('cat=3&showposts=10'.'&paged='.$paged);
   
   			?>
   
   			<?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>

   Ok, but I need to break the loop after a few posts and start again with another layout.... how do I keep the pointer to the last read record?
