Does in_category(”) screws the_Loop ???

  • My index.php has 2 main loops, the first loop reads out say some 8 posts and then breaks the loop; then the second loop continues from where the first loop stopped:

    <?php /***************** FIRST Loop ******************/?>
<?php if (have_posts()):?>
	<?php while (have_posts())  : the_post(); update_post_caches($posts);?>
......Do Stuff
......and BREAK the loop say after 8 posts
	<?php endwhile; ?>
	<?php   else : ?>
	  <div class="errorbox">
		<?php
		  _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'inove');?>
	  </div>
<?php  endif;?>

<?php /***************** SECOND Loop ******************/?>
<?php if (have_posts()):?>
	<?php while (have_posts()): the_post();update_post_caches($posts);?>
......Do Stuff
	<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php  endif;?>

    and this works perfectly.

    But if just adding the following code at the beginning of the loop (inside the loop):
    <?php if (in_category('3')) continue; ?>

    screws up everything, in a way it looks like the loop is rewinded.
    Any hint?

  • If you are trying to just display that category in the loop. Try use this.

    <?php

			$temp = $wp_query;

			$wp_query= null;

			$wp_query = new WP_Query();

			$wp_query->query('cat=3&showposts=10'.'&paged='.$paged);

			?>

			<?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>

    Ok, but I need to break the loop after a few posts and start again with another layout…. how do I keep the pointer to the last read record?
