otherjohnHi all, I have on my index.php code the following loop codee directly from the docs http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop. It worked before upgrading to the newwest version 2.1. It doesn not "showpost" of just 1 item that is in a cat "Featured", but instead it shows muliple items. And some of those items are not even in that cat.
What I would like to do is show one item (featured) with excerpt as first item then list the rest below it in an different list type.
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=Featured&showposts=1');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>
<!--
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
-->
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="postcontent">
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?> </p>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<h1>Recent Articles</h1>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate )
continue;?>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<div class="postInfo">
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?> </p>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
