No such luck, I’m afraid, but your assistance and time is appreciated!
Just a few moments ago, I ran into this tutorial for Triple Loops: http://perishablepress.com/press/2006/11/22/perishable-press-triple-loop-for-wordpress/
I highly suggest it for anyone who’s having trouble getting multiple Loops to function correctly. I would have found this much quicker if I had Google searched “triple loop” instead of “multiple loops” or “three loops”. Dur.
So far, I’ve applied my conditionals (what Categories I want to show up, how many posts, etc.) to the code the tutorial above provides, and everything seems to be working. I’ll keep things updated here!
Can someone please help me out here? My code failed epically, and I don’t think I’m “getting” multiple loops, as my continued attempts to get this code to work have also been failing.
