Hi there, I am currently trying to get a 3 loop system working on my theme.

I am getting a few problems.

This is how I want it:

Home Page:
Loop 1
– Featured post, 1 Post (from Featured Category only)

Loop 2
– Latest Posts, 4 Posts (All remaining posts except Featured and Resources cat)

Loop 3
– Latest Resources, 4 Posts (from Resources Category only)

Here is my Loops:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

The problem I am getting is the 3rd loop is showing posts from the resources category BUT the 2nd loop is also showing the resources posts I need the 2nd post to not duplicate either 1st or 2nd loop.

If that make sense? lol

Hope someone can help, thanks.

George

In the first 2 loops, add the ID of the current post to an array, something like this (UNTESTED):

$seen = array(); // Put this before the first loop

Use code like this to add the current post ID to the array:
```
if (have_posts()) {
   while (have_posts()) {
      the_post();
      $seen[] = $post->ID;
```
Then, in the third loop, add the post_not_in argument with the IDs:
```
$args = array(
   'cat' = 44,  // the category id of Resources
   // add your other arguments here
);
$ids = implode(',',$seen);
if ($ids) $args['post_not_in'] = $ids;
query_posts($args);
```
