 * Hello,
 * I run several using sites on wordpress and I have a major problem. When creating
   a template that loops posts (or should so), it only loops the page. I tried on
   two different setup’s with two different templates – one being zbench, so there
   shouldn’t be any problem.
 * I tried the sample codes from the wordpress tutorial on creating a loop template.
   A friend of mine also helped me, and he couldn’t solve it.
 * The page being shown, is the page that uses the loop-template.
 * Have anyone had this issue or heard of it before? I’m really desperate on getting
   it fixed 😀
 * Thanks in advance!

 * The loop is working perfectly fine.. I have tested the code above and it is correct
 * How many posts posts do you have

 * if this is a page template, you need to tell the loop to show anything else than
   the page – for instance by adding a a query before the loop:

 * Could you give me an precise example of a query and tell me where to add it in
   the example code?
 * I’m guessing something like this `query_posts( 'posts_per_page=5' );` But where
   should it go?

 * alchymyth hit it on the spot. I put the code in a index file and you have it 
   as a template.

 * And yes – it’s a page template, but of course i want it to loop posts 🙂

 * I don’t get it. The wordpress tutorial on making a template with a loop, doesn’t
   say anything about this 😛 Where to put the query? I’m not very gifted when it
   comes to programming, so a precisely example would be greatly appreaciated 🙂

 * I have one last question. If I want to sort the posts by rating or views (wp-
   postviews and wp-postratings). How should the query-string look like then?
