 * Hey there guys,
    I have WordPress implemented in my site ([Hi Tech Arcade](http://www.htarcade.com)(
   _a site for the local video game store I manage_), which also has a separate 
   PHP Script running (a simple php include) called [News Script Pro](http://www.newsscriptphp.com/newsscriptphppro/).
 * WordPress is installed on my _/blog_ folder and I pull the posts and have them
   on my main page (which is a non-Wordpress site).
    On that main page I also have
   this news script running and I’m seeming to have a bizarre issue seemingly because
   I have both these running?
 * I’ll explain.
 * whenever I place the code for the News Script Pro **below** the WordPress Loop
   everything loads up fine and dandy, _however_ when I place the News Script Pro
   code **above** the WordPress Loop I seem to lose the **get_author** function?
   It just outputs Published By November 13,2010..no Published by **John** November
   13,2010.
    Completely missing the **get_author** call. I’ll repeat. This issue
   _only_ happens when the News Script Pro code (**which is a simple php include**)
   is placed **above** my WordPress Loop call.
 * Is there some sort of database interference going on or something here? I’m pulling
   my hair out trying to figure this bizarre problem out! any input would be greatly
   appreciated!
