How to showcase TWO different posts using > query_posts

I don’t believe you can use query_posts() for that (mutliple posts), but I’m not sure.

Just use this instead:

$posts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID='21' OR ID='43'");

Thanks

tried, but got jibrish

i used the code as follows:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php
$posts = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID=’21’ OR ID=’43′”);
?>

this is not on my index page but home.php
what am i doing wrong ?

tried, but got jibrish

to my home.php page ?

I had this very same problem … it was fixed very easily … i went through disabling all my plugins one by one .. the 3rd plugin i disabled fixed it .. it was my Adhesive plugin that was messing it up.
https://www.redalt.com/downloads/ was where it was from .. and now doesn’t seem to be kept up to date .. so if i need sticky posts i won’t be using it any more !

I have the same error on the index page at https://www.amyloo.com/clipoftheweek

Like one of the first posters in this thread, it happened after I added a query_post — in my case to exclude a particular category of posts from the index.

Like the just-previous poster, I isolated the troublemaker. It’s the theme; when I revert to the basic theme, the error goes away. Problem is the thememaker says my question is beyond his scope of support https://forums.wpthemes.info/comments.php?DiscussionID=126/

So now what? I’ll likely end up starting over with a new theme based on the default rather than modifying a theme that doesn’t look anything like what I ended up with anyway! But for a quick fix, I thought it might be worth asking if anybody has any ideas. Thanks.
