Every fifth post in the theme archive has a unique style. So I have a loop which calls the first post, then another loop which calls the next four using offset, then another one, then another four and so on. Each loop is called by including a single php file with its own unique query_post above it to control the output.

Thank you for all your help so far, but I’m still getting stuck on how to insert the current tag into the query_post parameters.

If this calls the current queried tag…

<?php
if (is_tag( )) {
  $tag = get_query_var('tag');
}
?>

how do I make the current tag replace ‘Something’ in the query?
query_posts('showposts=1&tag=Something');

I’m doing this before and outside of the loop, by the way.

$user->user_nicename;

I thought I knew it 🙂

I’m using this in the index.php

<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=exhibitions&post_status=future&order=ASC&showposts=2');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
?>

Brilliant! I know WP normally scales without a problem, but I was looking at the docs and couldn’t figure out how it scaled on this occasion. Thanks for the assistance.

Another application for this would be to have no login requirements for a WP demo site. So the site would be all front-end.
