So it’s just me that has this problem I’m assuming? ??

Still doesn’t work. I tried your exact code MichaelH and I still got my sticky post showing up. I even tried it with non sticky posts, still showing. Here is my code:

$args_fp = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
  	'post_status' => 'publish',
  	'posts_per_page' => -1,
	'post__not_in' => array(343, 493, 166),
  	'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$fp_query = null;
$fp_query = new WP_Query($args_fp); 

while ($fp_query->have_posts()) : $fp_query->the_post();
	update_post_caches($posts); $preview = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'preview', true); $count++;

?>
<br />[<b>ARTICLE:</b> <?=$post->ID;?> <?php the_title(); ?>]<br />
<?
endwhile;

I’m sorry I forgot to add that the posts I am trying to not include in the query are sticky posts, not just regular posts.

That does not work either. I have tried everything. (By the way, post 343 is a sticky post) Assigned a variable, directly placing the array, etc, nothing works, the article still shows up in the query which leads me to believe that the ‘post__not_in’ parameter is NOT working correctly.

Other people are also having this issue:
https://osdir.com/ml/wp-trac/2010-04/msg02482.html

$args_fp = array(
  'post__not_in' => 343,
  'posts_per_page' => 8
);
$my_query_fp = new WP_Query($args_fp);

while ($my_query_fp->have_posts()) : $my_query_fp->the_post(); update_post_caches($posts); $preview = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'preview', true); $count++;

echo "post id: ".$post-ID."<br />";

endwhile;

It does not work. Trust me. 343 is the post ID for the sticky post I do not want to be queried. It comes up in the results of the while loop.

Shameless bump, would really like some help finding a workaround. Pretty much this is what I am doing: Creating two loops (one to output one sticky post at the top of the home page to span two columns, one to show the other 8 entries (2 per row, 4 rows)) to separate sticky post from article’s loop. This way, the second page isn’t short a story or showing duplicates.

Thank you all for making the site a better place!

I know but for big sites, like PrisonPlanet.tv and tons of other blogs, I’m assuming its not OK to even summarize the article yourself and have a couple of excerpts?

It’s not like I’m not sourcing them…

United States.

I see a lot of other sites doing it (such as InformationLiberation.com and PrisonPlanet.tv).

Quick update. Made it WAP/Mobile Phone supportive.

This is really bothering me, I’m really trying to figure out the problem. here is a list of plugins I use:

1. Feedburner Feed Replacement
2. Google Sitemaps
3. Lightbox JS v2.2 Plugin
4. Share This
5. Subscribe To Comments
6. Tiger Style Administration
7. WordPress Database Backup
8. WordPress Video Plugin
9. WP-Polls

Thanks for all the replies. I updated the site to reflect some of the opinions posted on here!
