   Hi, I have the below piece of code that i use in my sidebar throughout the site without problem. I am trying to figure out why it does not work with i include it in a non-wordpress file.

   I have a web forum integrated with wordpress and i have the required call to wp-blog-header.php and all the other wordpress functions seem to work just fine except for get_children is giving me troubles.

   <?php query_posts("cat=3&showposts=5"); ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   $files = get_children(
   array(
   	'post_parent' => $post->ID,
   	'post_status' => 'inherit',
   	'post_type' => 'attachment',
   	'post_mime_type' => 'image',
   	'order' => 'ASC',
   	'orderby' => 'menu_order'
   	)
   );
   if($files) {
   	$keys = array_keys($files);
       $num = $keys[0];
   	$firstImageSrc = wp_get_attachment_image_src($num, "medium", $icon);
   	if ($firstImageSrc <> null) {
   	echo "<img src=\"{$firstImageSrc[0]}\" width=\"120\" alt=\"$title\" />"; }
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php else : ?>
   <h2>Not Found</h2>
   <?php endif; ?>

   The code is supposed to return the first image from each post and does so fine throughout the site, but when i use it in the forum it instead returns the first image from the first post i ever made (like 9 years ago).

   Does anybody have any idea why it is not referencing the correct post ID?

   Thanks!

   Hello, could you post the source code that you currently use to include the functions please?

   This is the code i use:
   require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');

   Its lets me call get_header() etc... and the loop works fine, only the above mentioned code with get_children is returning the incorrect thumbnail.

   Pretty please! This is driving me nuts. Also discovered that when using the same code in my non-WP sidebar it really slows down the page load, although all WP pages with the same code load nice and quick.

   <?php query_posts("cat=3&showposts=5"); ?>

   Maybe try explicitly defining the sort order? It's supposed to default to DESC, but maybe something's getting in the way.

   <?php query_posts("cat=3&showposts=5&orderby=date&order=desc"); ?>

   I finally have a workaround! For some reason the method describe here works fine outside of wordpress. Basically just putting the code as a function in the functions.php file made the ordering no longer an issue.
