# Page title changes when using multiple loops?

 * I’m using two loops on the same page. No big deal.
 * But now my tag, “<?php the_title(); ?>” doesn’t show the page of the title. Instead,
   it shows the title of the last post being displayed.
 * For fun, I tried moving the tag to before the first loop, and the title went 
   back to normal. It seems like some variable somewhere is not getting cleared 
   or reset…
 * Ideas?

 * What are you using for you 2 Loops – get_posts or query_posts?

 * query_posts. Here are the two loops:
 * **This one gets Post Thumbnails (I’m using 2.9 beta)**
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <li>
       <?php the_post_image('full'); ?>
       </li>
       <?php endwhile;?>
       ```
   
 * **This one for excerpts**
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><h2><?php the_title(); ?> | <?php the_time('m.j.y') ?></h2><?php the_excerpt(); ?></a></li>
       <?php endwhile;?>
       ```
   
 * So with this code, I’m able to have post thumbnails in one div, excerpts in another.

 * The problem even happens when using one loop on a page, but where the the_title
   tags comes well after the end of the loop, and this time, I’m using a secondary
   loop.
 *     ```
       <?php
       	$childProjects = new WP_Query();
       	$childProjects->query('post_type=pagepost_parent='.$post->ID);
       ?>
       <?php
       	while ($childProjects->have_posts()) : $childProjects->the_post();
       ?>
       <li>
       <?php
       	get_the_image( array('default_size' => 'full', 'link_to_post' => false) ); ?>
       </li>
       <?php endwhile;?>
   
       <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
       ```

 * lol
 * THANKS EVERYONE!
 * I found the answer. I had to reset the queue, to make sure it was dead.
 *     ```
       <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
       ```
   
 * This goes for other things too, like if you’re calling a post_thumbnail for the
   page after a have a loop that is collecting posts. The post_thumbnail for the
   last image will be called instead, unless you reset the query.
