I have been using only one index page and this is to deal with both the homepage and other pages.
The Loop is being used when on a category page or atual post.
My problem is that i have designed my template so that i have latest post from a certain category and have used the loop a second time on the same page and well wordpress doent like it. It keeps showing results from the first loop rather than the second.
How can i include "the Loop" twice on a single page so they work independantely so i can format the results?
When i am mentioning the loop i mean this: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
Do you second loop/query like this...
<ul>
<?php
$myquery = new WP_Query();
$myquery->query('showposts=5');
?>
<?php while ($myquery->have_posts()) : $myquery->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
Adjust as required..
If you needed a third do the same again just changing the new query variable name...
<ul>
<?php
$anotherquery = new WP_Query();
$anotherquery->query('showposts=5');
?>
<?php while ($anotherquery->have_posts()) : $anotherquery->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
and so on..
