# query_posts and conditional tag tests?

 * I’m having trouble getting a conditional test to work as it should, i’ve included
   the part of the code that seems to be relevant bellow, if the ‘Category_Cloud_Mini’
   function was not there then the conditional test works, if the function is in
   the page before the test then every page tests as the ‘home’ page, including 
   single & category pages,
 * assuming that it’s the ‘query_posts’ thing that’s causing the problem, i’d be
   grateful if anyone could tell me why its causing the conditional test to go wrong?
 * thanks for any help with this,
 *     ```
       function Category_Cloud_Mini() {
                   foreach((query_posts('showposts=25')) as $post) {
                   }
               }
               Category_Cloud_Mini();
       ```
   
 * followed by:
 *     ```
       if (is_home()) {
                   echo "ON HOME PAGE";
               }
               elseif (is_single()) {
                   echo "ON SINGLE PAGE";
               }
               elseif (is_category()) {
                   echo "ON CATEGORY PAGE";
               }
       ```

 * I was trying to do something similar…list pages in the sidebar and query post
   seemed to mess it up too. In fact, in looking for the solution, I came across
   your post, so I’ll let you know if I find out how to fix it.
