   Hey guys.

   I'm trying to exclude sticky posts and a certain category from the loop in a blog I'm working on.

   I have two snippets of code that work well individually, but I can't figure out how to combine them. Any help is appreciated.

   This excludes sticky posts from the loop...
   <?php query_posts(array("post__not_in" =>get_option("sticky_posts"))); ?>

   ... and this excludes a specific category from the loop...
   <?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-8'); ?>

   How would I go about combining the two to exclude both sticky posts and category ID 8???

   Thanks for taking the time to read this.

   <?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-8&post__not_in='. get_option('sticky_posts')); ?>

   Thank you for your input @esmi, but your code doesn't quite work.

   It returns these errors...

   Warning: array_map() [function.array-map]: Argument #2 should be an array in /usr/home/adamlang/public_html/cpdc/wp-includes/query.php on line 2104
   
   Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /usr/home/adamlang/public_html/cpdc/wp-includes/query.php on line 2104
   
   Warning: array_diff() [function.array-diff]: Argument #2 is not an array in /usr/home/adamlang/public_html/cpdc/wp-includes/query.php on line 2660

   Do you or anyone else by any chance have any other ideas??? I'm kinda desperate here and I'm by far a PHP guru, so any input is greatly appreciated.

   Thanks again.

   HI

   Your errors does not refer to esmi's code

   Please paste the file you changed at http://wordpress.pastebin.com/

   Select PHP syntax highlighting so we can easily read the code

   Post the link you get at pastebin here, so that we can look at it.

   Posting the backup before you changed it will help too
