 * Hello and thank you for reading this.
 * Does anyone know how to have two different query_posts on the same page if the
   twentyen theme (with loop.php) is being used?
 * I would like to show the first post of different categories on different divs
   on the same page.
 * Thanks a lot!

 * Run a [second loop/query](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops)
   after loop php has been called.

 * Hi esmi, thank you for your reply.
 * The problem is that I’m using the loop.php file from the Twentyen theme and it’s
   just one loop for all pages.
 * Thanks for your help 🙂

 * You can still have a second loop – after `get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );`
   in index.php for example.

 * In the index.php or better still a template page, you should limit the posts 
   as well add `&'posts_per_page' => 5`
 *     ```
       //Do Layout stuff
       //Query One
       $args=array(
          'cat'=> 3,
          'posts_per_page' => 5,
       );
       query_posts($args);
   
       //Get the Posts
       get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );
       wp_reset_query();
   
       //Do Layout Stuff
       //Query Two
       $args=array(
          'cat'=>4,
          'posts_per_page' => 5,
       );
       query_posts($args);
   
       //Get the Posts
       get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );
       wp_reset_query();
   
       //Do Layout Stuff
       //Query Three
       $args=array(
          'cat'=>7,
          'posts_per_page' => 5,
       );
       query_posts($args);
   
       //Get the Posts
       get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );
       wp_reset_query();
   
       wp_reset_postdata();
       //Get the Original Page ID for comments etc:
       ```
