   Hello folks!

   I'm creating one theme for WordPress with multiples Loops inside. The code I'm using is someting like that:

   <?php query_posts('showposts=1'); if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <img src="<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("thumbnail"); echo $values[0]; ?>" width="148" height="120" alt="<?php the_title()?>" />					
   
    <h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>
   
   <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   <?php endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

   But, the output is aways the result +1 extra post. For exemple: in this code above, display 2 posts, but I want only one.

   Another one:

   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar_page_1') ) : ?>
   		<h3>Latest Reviews</h3>
   
   		<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=3');
   		  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();?>
   				    <h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>
   		  <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   	<?php endif;?>

   This code above output is 4 posts, but I want only 3.

   I'm using starkers theme as basic framework.

   Question: Its a bug or I'm doing something wrong? Any ideas to solve that?

   Thanks! And sorry about my english :/

   Try replacing showposts with posts_per_page. If that doesn't work, it could be something higher up that's causing you problems.

   You might also want to look at using get_posts instead of query_posts - especially in that second loop since you're only using the the_permalink and the_title (both of which should be available via get_posts).

   Hello esmi!

   I have tried to use post_per_page too, but I got the same error. About your second idea I will try that. Thanks.

   Hello again esmi!

   I've used your tip to solve this issue, and work like a charm! I used a code like:

   <?php
   		$lastposts = get_posts('numberposts=5');
   		foreach($lastposts as $post) :
   		setup_postdata($post);
   		?>
   		<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
   		<?php endforeach; ?>

   Thank You! :D
