Amaziiiing!

Dude, check it out! http://www.astromono.com/staff

I even managed to slap on the ORDER BY ASC from the previous code and it works!

`<?php
$excluded = “5,16,191,246,688,689”; // To exclude IDs 1,33,4
$sql = ‘SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM ‘.$wpdb->posts. ” WHERE post_author NOT IN ($excluded) ORDER BY ID ASC”;
$authors = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
if($authors):
foreach($authors as $author):
?>`

Thank you for the reply!

I tried declaring wpdb as global, but still no go. I even tried adding the <?php opening, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

Awesome! Thank you so much, it worked like a charm!

The only thing was that I had to remove the ORDER BY ID ASC and add another parenthesis before the semi colon to wrap the thing.

Strangely, the authors are still organized the way I wanted to, so I’m golden.

Thank you!

Thanks so much for the info!

I actually managed to display the loop for the specific category by doing this:

<div class="left">
	<ul class="articles">
		<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php $thePosts = get_posts('category=13510');
foreach($thePosts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
?>

LOOP INFO HERE

<?php endforeach; ?>

Problem is, now I can’t seem to get pagination working properly for it. Help anyone?

Sorry for the late reply, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to include the code provided into the loop successfully. I keep coming back to the header and trying to define a query that I can use like this:

$featured = new WP_Query("tag=cartelera&showposts=4");

					<div class="featured">
						<div class="fthumbs">
							<?php if($featured->have_posts()) : ?>
							<?php $i = 0; while($featured->have_posts()) : $featured->the_post();?>
							<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
							<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "thumbnail_top", true); ?>" alt="" <?php if($i == 0) echo 'class="active" '; ?>/></a><br />
							<?php $i++; endwhile; $i = 0; ?>
						</div>

I get a Call to a member function have_posts() on a non-object in /header.php on line 195

Thank you so much for the reply, however I am a bit weary about putting the featured section inside the loop. As I have it at the moment it works on a separate section because it’s part of the header.

Maybe if I try taking off the second part of the code?

Thanks for the reply!

I checked and changed the function to has_tag, but still no go. I’m a bit confident that the issue lies with these two lines of code:

<?php if(is_tag('featured')) : ?>

and

<?php $i = 0; $featured = new WP_Query("tag='featured'&showposts=4"); while($featured->have_posts()) : $featured->the_post();?>

I honestly don’t know if I’m typing the second markup correctly. It’s supposed to check for posts that have the “featured” tag and output the last 4 posts with that tag keyword.

I was able to make it work with categories, but the markup for that is different:

<?php $i = 0; $featured = new WP_Query("cat=".get_wpn_config('featured_category_id')."&showposts=5"); while($featured->have_posts()) : $featured->the_post();?>
