    So Im creating a custom site that uses WordPress as a CMS. But I have just one issue. after I do a query in top of the page to spit out latest stories I also spit out the query in my if have post loop.

    <div id="slider">
<ul>
<?php query_posts('cat=3'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<li>
<h1>Latest News</h1>
<h3><a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3><br/>
<p><a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>'><?php the_excerpt(); ?><br/></a></p>
</li<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul></div>

    So that code works perfectly as it should problem is I want the loop not to run when I want information from my current page to display in the body and not the loop

    <div class="span-14 append-1 last" id="body-content">
				<?php
				getFirst_ID();
				 ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
					<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
						<h2 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
					<?php } else { ?>
						<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
					<?php } ?>				

					<div class="entry-content">
						<?php the_content(); ?>
						<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
						<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry-content -->
				</div><!-- #post-## -->

<?php endwhile; ?>

    That is what is in the body so here is the link to the site

    If you are able to help thank you very much Do note I cannot just call a page number to pull content from because this is the template for all pages and since the client is not a programmer I don’t expect them to come in and create custom pages.

  • if you have a custom query loop, and want to get back to the original query string, try and add a wp_reset_query(); after the endif; of the custom loop.
    (in your case, not using the if(have_posts()) – add it after the endwhile; )

    That worked your a gift from God lol.
    ohh I had that problem on both the page and the single.php
    but i was able to fix the page.php with

    <?php
  $page_id = $post->ID;
	print("<div id='page-id' style='display:none;'>$page_id</div>");
?>

    Near get_header() and then added a …

    <?php
$page = $page_id;
query_posts("page_id= $page ");
?>

    just before it checks to see if there are post in that page id.

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    maybe that may help someone with a different kind of issue but thank you that worked perfectly
