   Hello everyone,

   The following code returns duplicate posts no matter what I try.

   Your help is much appreciated.

   <?php
   	if ( is_home() ){
   		$args=array(
   			'posts_per_page' => 3,
   			'post__not_in' => $do_not_duplicate,
   			'paged' => $paged
   		);
   
   		if ( ( isset( $_GET['homeq'] ) && $_GET['homeq'] == 'today' ) || !isset( $_GET['homeq'] ) ) {
   			$args['category__in'] = array(7,8,9,10);
   		}
   
   		if ( isset( $_GET['homeq'] ) && $_GET['homeq'] == 'world' ) {
   			$args['cat'] = 8;
   		}
   
   		if ( isset( $_GET['homeq'] ) && $_GET['homeq'] == 'turkey' ) {
   			$args['cat'] = 7;
   		}
   
   		if ( isset( $_GET['homeq'] ) && $_GET['homeq'] == 'sports' ) {
   			$args['cat'] = 10;
   		}
   
   		if ( isset( $_GET['homeq'] ) && $_GET['homeq'] == 'mag' ) {
   			$args['cat'] = 9;
   		}
   
   		$args = apply_filters( 'et_home_query', $args, isset( $_GET['homeq'] ) ? $_GET['homeq'] : '' );
   
   		query_posts($args);
   	}
   ?>

   Where is the variable $do_not_duplicate set? if it is not an array of post IDs, then it will not work to suppress duplicates.

   Thank you for your response.

   This is a piece of code I have modified to return posts from different categories on home page, very much like the Recent, Random, Unanswered sub menu seen on (this theme). But I want posts from the selected category to return, instead of random or popular posts.

   I managed to switch this code into what I want (sort of), but now I get duplicates on each category (and sometimes posts not belonging to the selected category).

   I'm afraid I'm not very well versed in WordPress; any help in the right direction would be much appreciated.

   Cheers.

   I do not see anything obvious that would cause dups. Are the duplicates possibly 'sticky' posts? Is there another query_posts call in the template?

   I am using Twentyeleven, and this is in the content.php, called in by index.php.

   There's your problem. There is a Loop in index.php and your query is called from inside the loop.

   Try putting your code in index.php just after the comment '/* Start the Loop */' so it will override the original query.

   If your problem has been solved, please use the dropdown on the right to mark this topic 'Resolved' so that anyone else with this question can see that there is a solution.
