# Loop breaking need help

 * Hello,
 * I’m am using two loops in the homepage, let say featured post and normal posts,
   and looking for solution for my problems.
 * Using this layout, I would need two loops to make it run properly. My problem
   is: when I break the first loop with theses codes:
 *  <?php static $ctr = 0;
    if ($ctr == “1”) { break; } else { ?>
 *  <?php $ctr++; } ?>
 * There’s a featured post section as I want. But, instead of begin with the second
   most recent post, the second loop shows the third recent post as the first post.
 * Any help would be appreciated. And sorry for my bad English. And I hope I make
   myself clear.
 * Thanks

 * You may be better off just testing off the $posts object (and current $post) 
   in The Loop for this, instead of building a counter. So in the first loop:
 * `<?php if( $posts[0] != $post ) { break; } ?>`
 * In your second loop, do something like:
 *     ```
       <?php if( $posts[0] != $post ) { ?>
   
       ~Display post~
   
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * And your English is fine. `;)`
