 * Howdie,
 * I cannot for my life figure out how to get wordpress to return duplicate posts
   using WP_Query. It always removes the duplicate post. Im getting the posts by
   id’s. Within an array there may be multiple duplicate id’s. I need to do this
   to display the same post twice within a loop because they have different meta
   values. Here is my code:
 *     ```
       $post_ids = array(10, 245, 78, 15,  245, 10); //something like that 245 is in there twice.
   
       $args = array(
           'post__in' => $post_ids,
           'post_type' => 'sfd_products'
       );
   
       $the_query = new WP_Query($args);
   
       while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
       	//post stuff
       endwhile;
       ```
   
 * Everything works correctly, but postid 245 only shows once. I want it to loop
   twice. Is this possible? The only other way I can think is make multiple queries
   with smaller chunks of arrays that do not have duplicates. I really don’t want
   to go that route.
 * Thanks in advance.
