   Hi all,

   I have issue with putting multiple queries in same template.I have searched sm help on google, but couldn't find a solution, even in http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops.

   I want to display some posts related to two categories, in different div's. so I have tried with putting two query post, but it get messed up with pagination.

   I have tried with query rest (wp_reset_query()), creating new query objects..etc. but none of these couldn't work.

   Please help me to find a solution to this.

   Hi,

   I'm not sure if you figured out the solution to this, but something I used on theminaretonline.com calls for various queries and counts.

   Here's an example of the code used to pull in content relating to a particular category and the count:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : query_posts(array('category__and' => array(49,425),'posts_per_page' => 1, 'cat' => -150,-88,-66,-71)); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $postdate = get_post_time('Y-m-d'); if ($postdate > $dontdisplay) { ?>

   You can see that in this example, I am calling an array of an article/post that requires being both category 49 and 425. It is also omitting articles/posts under categories 150,88,66,71 since there could be overlapping content. The count is one.

   You can of course modify the count and categories.

   Hope this answers your question.

   Are you using a framework?

   @rrm:

   So that your page loads quicker with multiple queries, you can use

   <div id="div1"><?php include('page.php') ?></div><div id="div2"><?php include('page2.php') ?></div>

   Not sure pagination works if you are pulling from different queries.

   I would likely use a read more form this category link followed by the posts, based on the twenty ten theme.

   Also using 'loop' template parts for the output, lets say I wanted three queries, in three different styles, normal, two column and thumbnail and title, loop-columns.php and loop-thumblist.php.

   I would create two new loop files for the two column and thumbnail list

   //Only 1 posts from the home category
   query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'Home', 'posts_per_page' => 1 ) );
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
   	<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   		<?php get_template_part( 'loop' , 'index' ) ?>
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
   // Reset Query
   wp_reset_query(); 			
   
   //Only 6 posts from the films category in two columns
   query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'films', 'posts_per_page' => 6 ) );
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
   	<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   		<?php get_template_part( 'loop' , 'columns' ) ?>
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
   // Reset Query
   wp_reset_query(); 			
   
   //Only 10 posts from the sports category
   query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'sports', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) );
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
   	<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   		<?php get_template_part( 'loop' , 'thumblist' ) ?>
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
   // Reset Query
   wp_reset_query();
