Hey everyone. I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is a result of a bug (due to the recent upgrade to 3.1.2) or poor coding. Ever since i upgraded to version 3.1.2 ive been experiencing a problem with two loops on my index page.
Here's what I've got for my index page
<?php
if ( ! is_paged() && is_front_page() ) {
echo '<h6 class="sec1 title">FEATURE</h6>';
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
if ( isset( $sticky[0] ) ) {
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'post__in' => $sticky,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1);
// Query
$featured_query = new WP_query( $args );
while ($featured_query->have_posts() ) :
$featured_query->the_post();
$featured[] = $post->ID;
get_template_part( 'content', 'featured' );
endwhile;
} // endif sticky
} // endif is_paged
?>
<?php
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
echo '<h6 class="sec1 title">LATEST ARTICLES</h6>';
$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
$query_args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'paged' => $paged,
'post__not_in' => $featured,
'post__not_in' => $sticky
);
query_posts($query_args);
if (have_posts() ) :
while (have_posts() ) :
the_post();
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
?>
<!--<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>-->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<div class="box">
<p>
<?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?>
</p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
// Navigation comes over here
Say for example the first loop (sticky posts) - which IS NOT paged, yields 3 posts, and the second loop (all other posts) - which IS paged, yields 10 posts. The problem I'm experiencing is that when i move to the next page, the last 3 posts from the second loop on page 1 get repeated at the the top of page 2.
Note: The first loop is only on page 1, and doesn't get repeated on the second page, which is what i intended.
So this is what i tried, i removed the ( ! is_paged() && is_front_page ) condition along with the entire first loop, and the problem got resolved.
What am i doing wrong?
