   I have read http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops and all the posts in the forum dealing with multiple loops -- and still can't get my embedded loop to work properly.

   Loop1 (Outerloop) is the WP basic loop and retrieves only 8 posts at a time on a page, with pagination to navigate to the prev/next page.

   Inside this loop, I embed a second loop to retrieve all titles for a certain category. To do this, I used a new query:

   <!-- Loop1 -->
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
     <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       <?php $my_query = new WP_Query(array(
       'category_name'=>press_releases,
       'year'=>date('Y'),
       'order_by'=>date,
       'order'=>'DESC',)); ?>
   
       <!-- Loop2 -->
       <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
   
     <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   Instead of getting all the titles for that category for the whole year, all I get are the titles for that category for the posts retrieved in Loop1.

   Of course, I do not want to mess up pagination for Loop1.

   Thanks in advance for any help.

   Try this for your "second loop to retrieve all titles for a certain category"
   

   <?php
   // posts from this year, in category id 1, exclude the current posts, display 5 posts, ignore sticky posts
       $args=array(
         'year'=>date('Y'),
         'cat' => 1,
         'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
         'numberposts'=>5,
         'caller_get_posts'=>1
       );
   $catposts=get_posts($args);
   if ($catposts) {
   foreach($catposts as $catpost) {
   echo "<p><a href='".get_permalink($catpost->ID)."'>".$catpost->post_title."</a></p>";
   }
   }
   ?>
