   Hi, I've been searching for a week a solution to my problem and I didn't find any, so I hope maybe I could find some help here.

   I want to exclude all sticky posts from my query_posts, which means even if a sticky post should appear in that list because it's a recent post from this category, I want it (them, the sticky posts) not to show at all.

   Here what I tried so far, without much success:

   <?php array("post__not_in" =>get_option("sticky_posts"));
   query_posts('showposts=10&cat=2'); ?>

   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   My stuff here
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   Any idea how to do that? I thought it could be simple, but it's clearly not (for me)...

   Thanks!

   Something like:
   

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1
   $args = array(
   'category__in' => array(2),
   'posts_per_page' => 10,
   'post__not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'),
   'paged' => $paged,
   'caller_get_posts'=>1
   );
   query_posts($args);
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   See query_posts() for more arguments.

   Hi MichaelH, thanks! I looked at the Codex during my search but I just want to list 10 posts from category 2 (with a different layout for the first post) so I'm not interested by the paged layout at all.

   And I have no idea how the 'clean' this code so it can work with my query_posts...

   Thanks for your help!

   You could have used code, but to make you happier...

   Get 10 posts in category 2, exclude sticky posts.
   

   <?php
   $args = array(
   'category__in' => array(2),
   'showposts' => 10,
   'post__not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'),
   'caller_get_posts'=>1
   );
   
   <?php array("post__not_in" =>get_option("sticky_posts"));
   query_posts('showposts=10&cat=2'); ?>
   
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   //My stuff here
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   Thanks a lot!

   I got a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' so I can't see if it actually works...

   Ok, a ?> was missing, got it :)

   But the sticky post still appears in the list... I changed the category ID but it's still there. I think it's because the sticky post is listed as a recent post posted in this category. Which I don't want because it's already on my top page so I don't want a duplicate in the list...

   Here's my code:

   <?php
   $args = array(
   'category__in' => array(14),
   'showposts' => 10,
   'post__not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'),
   'caller_get_posts'=>1
   ); ?>

   <?php array("post__not_in" =>get_option("sticky_posts"));
   query_posts('showposts=10&cat=14'); ?>

   <?php $i=1; ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php if ($i == 1) : ?>
   //My stuff
   <?php else : ?>
   //My stuff
   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php $i++; ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   You aren't using the $args, so will give you this one last example:

   <?php
   $args = array(
   'category__in' => array(14),
   'showposts' => 10,
   'post__not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'),
   'caller_get_posts'=>1
   );
   
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         echo '10 recent Posts for Category 14, excludes sticky posts';
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
           <p><small><?php the_time('m.d.y') ?></small> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
          <?php
         endwhile;
       } //if ($my_query)
     wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>

   Good Luck.
