   Hello

   I have in my theme a nice and rather classical list of "Recents articles" showing title, excerpts, thumbnails, and read more.

   Works fine.

   But let us say I click on the first excerpt. I am now reading the whole article, with its full size picture.

   Fine too.

   Problem : in the sidebar, next to the article, I still have my "recent articles" showing… And very logically showing the exact same (smaller) picture, the same title, and the same text (excerpt).

   Aaargh !

   Is there a way to tell WP :
   "if article already displayed, do not show in list of recent posts" ?

   my code for my recent articles :

   <ul ><?php
    global $post;
    $myposts = get_posts('cat=6&numberposts=15');
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
      setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
       <li <?php the_post_thumbnail();?>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
   <?php the_title(); ?></a>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   
   <?php endif; ?></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
   </ul>

   May I add that a very basic user. Copying a few instructions is ok. Nothing more. I dread everything with variables and arrays. Just can't do it, can"t "think" it. Gives me instant brain-ache.
