I think I may have fixed it, but if someone could verify that this is the proper way. I removed the line of code with
<?php $wp_query->set( 'showposts', '1' ); ?>
and just set the variable for query_posts to ‘showposts=1’ as here
<?php query_posts( 'showposts=1' ); ?>
It appears to work, but can someone explain why? Did 2.2 change the way the loop works or the way wp_query works? Just wondering.
Thanks. I looked around more and found how to set the number of posts in the loop in a recent thread on “playing with the loop” ahttp://wordpress.org/support/topic/56633a
Just needed a push in the right direction.
Does anyone have any ideas on this, or should Ijust try and use an RSS feed? Thanks.
