Title tag for 6 pages all the same?

    Ok what am I missing?? I’ve been exploring more with template tweaks so I’m sure it’s something simple and I’ll kick myself…

    I have my site (https://benjamincharity.com) split in two: Personal and Freelance.

    I am using these calls in my title tag (this code is identical in my personal header (header.php) and my freelance header (header-freelance.php):

    <title><?php wp_title(); ?> | <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

    Yet somehow while all the titles are correct on the personal side, every page on the freelance side is displayed as “Support | Benjamin Charity”.

    I have a blog category called ‘Support’ but I can’t figure out how it could be affecting me.

    I’m looking forward to learning something new! Thanks in advance to any kind souls!
    Benjamin

    No clues? Anyone?

    Ok, I’ve narrowed it down to this piece of code.

    <div id="recentPosts">
	<h3>Recent Posts</h3>

<?php
query_posts('showposts=2&cat=7');
while(have_posts()) : the_post();
?>

	<div class="similarSingle">
		<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>

		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

	</div>  <!-- end .similarSingle -->

<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>  <!-- end #recentPosts -->

    Specifically I think it is this piece:

    while(have_posts()) : the_post();

    When I remove the above code from the page, my title appears correctly. Any way around this?

    Ok I have found a fix for this by adding <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> after the trouble code.

    Example:

    <?php
query_posts('showposts=2&cat=7');
while(have_posts()) : the_post();
?>

<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>

	<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

    Should be:

    <?php
query_posts('showposts=2&cat=7');
while(have_posts()) : the_post();
?>

<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>

	<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

    This took forever for me (a novice) to figure out, so hopefully this helps someone else. Also, if anyone can explain exactly why I need to manually reset the query, I’d love to know.
