    For some reason I cannot understand do not duplicate is not working for me. Below is the code I am using. There are only two loops a query posts and the normal WP loop.

    Any help much appreciated! 

    <?php $do_not_duplicate = array(); ?>

				<!-- Featured Posts -->
				<?php
				  	$my_query = new WP_Query('tag=sticky&posts_per_page=3');
				  	while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
				  	$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
				?>

				<-- Outputs three posts here-->

				<?php endwhile; ?>

				<!-- Normal Loop -->
				<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
				   	   if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; ?>

				<-- Outputs the rest of the posts here-->

				<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

				<!-- But there are still duplicates? -->

    What do you mean “is not working”, can you elaborate on that?

    Are you sure this is correct:

    if ( $post->ID == $post->ID )

    Hi,

    By not working I mean. Rather than not duplicate posts as it should, it does duplicate posts.

    The behaviour I am looking for is:

    The normal loop shows all posts. The featured loop shows three features (I do this by tagging them as sticky – a legacy of the theme I’m redesigning). I do not want features to duplicate in the main loop but they do.

    Also excuse me if I’m not being bright (not much good with PHP) but I do not see your code example in mine above?

    Thank you for your help.

    Thanks for your help. Inevitably that was one of those, ‘as soon as you ask you see your silly mistake’, things…

    Anyway, I’d missed:

    if (in_array($post->ID, $do_not_duplicate)) continue;

    Stupid…
