# Keep the “original” Loop while using multiple Loops

 * By now, i know about half a dozen ways to realize multiple loops. But i haven’t
   managed to keep the “orinial” (the one with the content which should be on the
   site) loop for the site.
 * How is it possible to recall the “original” loop after calling “special” loops
   before with code e.g.
 * <?php $posts = get_posts(‘category=1&numberposts=1’); ?>
    or <?php query_posts(‘
   cat=1&showposts=1’); ?> or <?php $my_query = new WP_Query(‘cat=1&showposts=1);
   >
 * In my special case i have 4 “special” loops before and 2 after the position where
   the “otiginal” loop should be displayed.
 * Has someone a solution or a hint for me?
 * Thx
    Mo
 * PS: the search only shows me the some ten posts every time i click “next”…so 
   it is not really helpfull for me 🙁

 * On your first custom loop, avoid using $posts (call it $my_posts or $cat_one_posts
   or whatever). $posts is a special variable, actually an object, in WordPress 
   which holds the default posts from your “original” loop, and you’re whacking 
   this when assigning it to a get_posts() call.
 * On the second I can’t help. query_posts() really should only be used to reset
   The Loop (i.e. the “original”).
 * And the final custom loop should not interfere with the default post loop. Passing
   a whole new WP_Query class (to a different var from $posts) bypasses it completely.
 * EDIT: Removed a bit here; misread your PS.
