    Hi all,

    I’m after some help with displaying certain posts on my page.

    For example this is what I’d like….broken down into sections.

    <featured>
    post 1
    post 2
    post 3
    </featured>

    <smallsection>
    post 4
    post 5
    post 6
    </smallsection>

    <mainbody>
    post 7
    post 8
    post 9
    </mainbody>

    At present its like this…..

    <featured>
    post 1
    post 2
    post 3
    </featured>

    <smallsection>
    post 4
    post 5
    post 6
    </smallsection>

    <mainbody>
    post 1
    post 2
    post 3
    post 4
    post 5
    post 6
    post 7
    post 8
    post 9
    </mainbody>

    is there anyway I can just have certain posts in specific areas of my page??

    Thank you.

    what is your approach so far?
    if you like, you can paste the code of your template(s) into a https://pastebin.com/ and post the link to it here.

    Thanks for the quick reply and links.

    I’ll get stuck into that tutorial and see how I get on and report back with my code.

    Thanks again!

    Hi

    So I wanted a deals section that showed specific posts. Then I wanted my content to show my other posts.

    Here is my method

    Is this an ok way of doing it?

    I’ve also tried to edit the single.php page in the same way but can’t get it to work. I want my deals section to stay at the top while the single post is underneath.

    I tried this but all it does is show the deals posts at the top, and then shows them again underneath replacing the single post.

    Any ideas how I can achieve this?

    Thanks.

    Is this an ok way of doing it?

    if the result is what you want, it should be ok.

    in single.php, add wp_reset_query(); in line 26: <?php endif; ?>:

    <?php endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

    Yeah its the result im after, I sense you think there could be problems with it though?

    Superb for single.php!!!

    Thanks very much!

    you think there could be problems with it though?
    as far as i can see, there will be problems with pagination, i.e. if you need to go to ‘next posts’ or so; also, you might need to add wp_reset_query(); after line 53 <?php endwhile; ?> in your first pastebin code.

    I see that when I added the wp_reset_query(); the older posts link popped up. Thanks! I didn’t even notice that.

    Well it’s for a travel company. First section is a jquery slide show that pulls in posts from one category.

    Under that is a section for latest deals that pulls in from another.

    These two probably won’t get many frequent new posts, and only display 3 at a time.

    It’s the main body area that will be for the ‘blog’ so to speak, so I guess this is where I’d need next post extra.

    Would this method be fine for achieving this?

    if this main body area comes after the ‘wp_reset_query();’ it should work normally as any blog and should be fine.
