# wp_query collision in multiple loop site

 * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_query-collision-in-multiple-loop-site/)
 * I’ve done all I can so now it’s time to come hat in hand for help.
 * I have a site that is not a blog but uses some blogging elements. I have 2 loops
   on the front page, one is a sidebar for announcements (like a baby was born at
   x) the other is for longer blog type posts. I only have 2 categories defined (
   cat 3 main_posts and cat 4 announcement).
 * My problem is that the announcements (2nd loop) is filling with posts from the
   first. There is currently only one announcement in the DB but I still should 
   only see that one post from the second loop.
 * I’ve tried all I know, including wp_reset_query and wp_reset_postdata.
 * You can veiw the site here [davisob.com](http://www.davisob.com/beta) . The site
   is still in a rough state so be gentile. Consequently its my first website ever.
 * Code below:
 * First Loop (main_posts)
 *     ```
       <?php if(have_posts()): ?>

       $ann_page=isset($_GET["ann_page"])?$_GET["ann_page"]: "1";
       // *** Sets up Page Index
       $myposts = new WP_Query("&cat=3");
       $posts_count = $myposts->post_count;
       $total_pages = (int) ($posts_count / 4);
       $extra_page =  (int) ($posts_count % 4);  // could have just used a ceiling function
       if ($extra_page > 0) {
       $total_pages++;
       }

 * I’ve found the issue but not a solution. Im using the plugin “Facebook Comments
   for WordPress” by we8u. It looks like the plugin is holding on to the first query
   and never clears it after a loop is finished. When the next loop is called it
   works on the new query and the old.

 * Digging further into this, he is calling global $wp_query in his code rather 
   than taking the query passed into the loop. Outside the loop I’ve defined custom
   query’s and set $wp_query to the custom objects. (Probably not the best way, 
   but when I was passing my custom objects via $object->have.has_posts caused an
   issue where every comment link (fbcomments again) was wired to the top most post
   in the query…. ie they all had &id=45.
 * Still hopping for a stroke of luck.
