# Plugin Conflicts: Recent Posts

 * I’ve been using [Recent Posts](http://rmarsh.com/plugins/recent-posts/) on a 
   client’s news page to showcase the most recent articles posted on their site.
   I have two instances of it on the page and then I want to have a list of all 
   the posts after it, so I’ve been experimenting with some plug-ins to make that
   happen. What I’ve found is that most of the plugins I experimented with would
   not display on the page whenever the Recent Posts code was on the page too.
 * The plugin that I’m using right now, [Archives by Selected Categories Plugin](http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/archives-by-selected-categories-plugin-for-wordpress/)
   has the same problem as the rest do. When the code inserting the recent posts
   and the post listing is all on the page, the recent posts display but the category
   listing doesn’t. When I take out the recent posts code, the post listing displays
   fine. I’m thinking there’s some sort of plugin conflict happening when the page
   is loaded but I don’t know where to look.
 * Here’s the code that’s currently on the page:
 *     ```
       <div id="top_story">
       <h2>Top Story</h2>
       <?php recent_posts('included_cats=4&limit=1'); ?>
       </div>
       <div id="recent_group">
       <h2>Featured Stories</h2>
       <?php recent_posts('included_cats=4&skip=0'); ?>
       </div>
       <!-- ddarchivesbycat -->
       ```
