Hi,
I’d like to split my loop into two divs, with 3 posts in each div. I have acheived this by using query_posts for the first loop and get_posts (which has an offset parameter) for the second. However, I would also like to exclude a certain category from both these loops, but get_posts doesn’t offer that option.
maybe my solution solves the problem for other users as well…
I’ve solved the problem shown above for me in that way:
my first loop looks like this:
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=3');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<!-- Show the first three posts in div1 -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
and the second loop:
<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=6'); // showposts here minus the showposts from the first loop will be displayed
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$seconddiv = $post->ID;
if($seconddiv > 6){
?>
<!-- Show the next three posts in div2 -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
…maybe quick & dirty – but it works. ??
greets,
Marc ??
