 * Hello everybody !
    the Loop wordpress : <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(
   have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <?php the_content(); ?>
 * the code works in the index page, all article are schown, but in another page(
   for example page.php or archive.php), nothing happens !
    If i put the code <?
   php echo (‘we are in the loop’) ?> after the if, it appears correctly.
 * Do i need to do something special ? Maybee i missed something. My loop works 
   in index page but not in another.
 * Thanks for you help !

 * Hello Melka
 * Create one Page template and try this code.
 * <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
    <div class=”post”
   > <h2 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”><?php the_title();?></h2> <div class=”entrytext”
   > <?php the_content()?> </div> </div> <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

 * for page tempaltes, you need to add a custom query before the loop;

 * Ok thanks Alchimyth, i can’t create 2 loops, i can only modify the exciting 1.
   
   If i want to create another loop, i can also use WP_Query class.
