posts from categories posting twice

I’m not seeing duplicates.

really?
cause i’m seeing duplicate posts at the end of the page in both firefox and safari.

the duplicate posts, aren’t using the .post-item css for some reason either. =S

Okay see what you mean.

Guess you need to post your complete PAGE Template in a pastebin and report the link back here.

here is the code for my page.php

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main">
  <div id="primary">
  <div id="page_content2">
    <?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

      <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
      </a></h3>

      <?php the_content('Click here to read more...');?>

    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
    <p>No Results</p>
    <?php endif; ?>
    </div><!--page_content2-->
  </div>  <!--end primary-->
  <?php get_sidebar();?>
</div>
<!--end main-->
<?php get_footer();?>

let me know what you find!
thanks ??

Is there a reason a normal Category Archive wouldn’t work so you don’t need to create a specific page template?

If the issue is getting a link in a menu to a page that contains posts for a specific category look at:

well i’d like it so i can add html to the top of the page (ie. catagory title header and description)

if i can do that with out creating a seperate page that would help.

Yes, just use the Category Templates ability.

that actually works now…..kinda….
i notice now for some reason when i click on the next page,
it still shows the same blog entries in page 1.
why is that?

oh yeah here’s the code that i used!

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main">
  <div id="primary">
  <div class="title">
  <img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_directory') . '/img/brtv-title.gif' ?>" />
  </div>
  <?php query_posts('cat=4&amp;showposts='.get_option('posts_per_page')); ?>
    <?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="post-item">
      <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
      <p class="meta">posted by <?php the_author();?> on <? the_date();?> in <?php the_category(', '); ?></p>
<?php the_content('Click here to read more...');?>
<div class="numComments">
<a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number('0 comments', '1 comment', '% comments'); ?></a>

</div><!--end numComments-->
    </div><!--end post-item-->
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
    <p>No Results</p>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <div id="morePrev">
    <?php next_posts_link('Next...'); ?>
    <?php previous_posts_link('Previous...'); ?>
    </div><!--end morePrev-->
  </div><!--end primary-->

<?php get_sidebar();?>
</div><!--end main-->
<?php get_footer();?>

bump!

pagination appears to be working correctly when I looked at it. Try clearing your browser cache if you’re still seeing the errors.

thanks brainycat!
i actually figured it out.
i had a line of code before the loop that was having it happen.
i took out `<?php query_posts(‘cat=4showposts=’.get_option(‘posts_per_page’)); ?>
`
and now its working perfectly!
thanks for checking it out though!
