 * Hi,
 * I need some help with a very odd problem. I have been using the code below without
   problems until today.
 *     ```
       <h2 class="home">ROAD BIKE OFFERS</h2>
       <?php $category_description_road = query_posts('cat=125&posts_per_page=4'); get_template_part( 'content','home' ); ?>
       <h2 class="home">MOUNTAIN BIKE OFFERS</h2>
       <?php $category_description_mtb = query_posts('cat=126&posts_per_page=4'); get_template_part( 'content','home' ); ?>
       <h2 class="home">TOWN & CITY BIKE OFFERS</h2>
       <?php $category_description_city = query_posts('cat=128&posts_per_page=4'); get_template_part( 'content','home' ); ?>
       ```
   
 * After adding some new posts in all 3 categories I’m not getting much of an output.
   In fact I found that each time I entered a post one was removed from the output
   using the above code.
 * Has anyone had this issue before?

 * I would guess at a minimum, you need to wp_reset_query after each of those loops.
 * Dunno why it would suddenly act up tho

 * Adding that code has made no change to the output.
 * `<?php $category_description_road = query_posts('cat=125&posts_per_page=4'); 
   get_template_part( 'content','home' ); wp_reset_query();?>`
 * Would it be a better idea to control the output via the template rather than 
   how I’m doing it at the moment?
