That gave me this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FOREACH, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in…

Thanks

Thanks for your help people, Kessitemeijer – it didn’t work, sorry. The page is a custom page template.

Esmi I changed what you said but it’s given me an error, have I missed something?

<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog Template
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="main">
          <div class="main-section">
                <div class="headline">
                    <div class="holder">
                        <h1>Blog</h1>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="main-content">
                    <?php
            $args=array(
			'post_type' => 'post',
			'post_status' => 'publish',
			'posts_per_page' => 10,
			'paged' => get_query_var('paged')
			);

			query_posts($args);
			if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { ?>
			<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
				<h3 class="category"><?php the_category();?> </h3>
				<div class="blogContainer">
					<div class="blogpiece">
					<div class="titleMeta"><div class="metaDeets">by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('g:i') ?> | <?php the_time('d/m/Y') ?></div><h6><?php the_title(); ?></h6></div>
					<div class="mainText">
						<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
					</div>
					<div class="readMorebox"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">&raquo; Read more</a></div>
					</div>
				</div>
			<?php endif; ?>
									<?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Newer Posts'), __('Older Posts &raquo;')); ?>
                </div>
            </div>
</div>
<?php get_footer();?>

It’s a single loop. This is how my code looks with your nitin_8, it still doesn’t work:

<div class="main-content">
                    <?php
            $args=array(
			'post_type' => 'post',
			'post_status' => 'publish',
			'posts_per_page' => 10,
			'paged' => get_query_var('paged')
			);

			$my_query = null;
			$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
			if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { ?>
			<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
				<h3 class="category"><?php the_category();?> </h3>
				<div class="blogContainer">
					<div class="blogpiece">
					<div class="titleMeta"><div class="metaDeets">by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('g:i') ?> | <?php the_time('d/m/Y') ?></div><h6><?php the_title(); ?></h6></div>
					<div class="mainText">
						<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
					</div>
					<div class="readMorebox"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">&raquo; Read more</a></div>
					</div>
				</div>
			<?php endwhile; ?>
									<?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Newer Posts'), __('Older Posts &raquo;')); ?>

			<?php }
			wp_reset_query();
			?>

                </div>

Thanks

Hey Matiniboy.

Thanks for trying did you have any luck in the end? I’ve tried for the life of me to get it working but no luck!

Thanks!

Thanks for your patience. I just want the first post to appear differently to rest of the posts. I created two loops because I didn’t know how to make the first one different. This is probably the reason it’s messing up! Cheers!
