Many thanks you guys! It’s working. For other people, the code is as following:

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

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

<?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=1&offset=0'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php static $count1 = 0; if ($count1 == "1") { break; } else { ?>

<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<?php $count1++; } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<div id="leftpost">
<?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=1&offset=1'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php static $count2 = 0; if ($count2 == "1") { break; } else { ?>

<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php $count2++; } ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<div id="rightpost">
<?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=1&offset=2'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php static $count3 = 0; if ($count3 == "1") { break; } else { ?>

<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<?php $count3++; } ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<ul>
<?php query_posts('showposts=7'); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=7&offset=3'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php static $count4 = 0; if ($count4 == "7") { break; } else { ?>

<li><a class="" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php $count4++; } ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>  

		<?php endwhile; ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2><?php _e('The page you<code>re looking for doesn</code>t exist', 'blank'); ?></h2>
		<div class="search-404">
		<?php _e('Do you want to search for it?', 'blank'); ?><br />
		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
		</div>

	<?php endif; ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hi csander could you please share the code with us that you’ve used to get the post excerpts show on the page?

<?php
  # Here starts Mini Loop trick: You can use this code, but _at your own risk_
  # If you want to improve this code, you're welcome ;)
  $how_many=8; //How many posts do you want to show
?>
<ul id="news">
<?php
  $news=$wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID,post_title FROM $wpdb->posts
    WHERE <code>post_type</code>=\"post\" AND <code>post_status</code>= \"publish\" ORDER BY <code>post_date</code> DESC LIMIT $how_many");
  foreach($news as $np){
    printf ("<li><a href=\"index.php?p=%s\">%s</a></li>", $np->ID,$np->post_title);
  }
?>

Sorry Michael but I don’t see the connection between my problem and your links. I’ve already the titles of the posts now I also want to display the value of a custom field but it doesn’t work with the examples mentioned in the codex using_custom_fields

It seems not to work. When I place the code above in the index.php file nothing is changed at my homepage but my full-post page doesn’t work anymore. So I thought it was code to place the code in the home.php file, but then my homepage doesn’t work anymore. Can someone help me?

Someone that can help me with this strange problem?

When I look at the source code of my website https://www.nextfacts.nl is the generated source correct. So I dont understand why the category and comment of the first post on a page dont get a link.

@ GamerZ, Sounds nice! I haven’t found another Rating plugin that’s so complet that WP-Postratings, so I’m exited! What’s the expected date of launch of the new version, so I can use it in my brand new project??
