Multiple Loops duplicate post question
-
Hi
In total I want to display 4 posts in which I created 2 loops where the goal of the first loop is to show the 2 latest posts.
The second loop should display 2 posts random, excluding the first 2 of above. This works fine except for one thing:Instead of displaying 2 posts the second loop leaves the space empty if it selects one post from the first loop. Who can help me solve this issue?
This is my code:
<div id="vids"> <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=-3,-6&posts_per_page=2&orderby=date&order=DESC');?> <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID ?> <div class="homevideo"> <div class="category"> <?php the_category(' '); ?> </div> <div class="videothumb"> <img src="<?php video_thumbnail(); ?>" width="185" height="105" /> </div> <div class="videoname"> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" > <?php the_title(); ?> </a> </div> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php $my_newquery = new WP_Query('cat=-3,-6&posts_per_page=2&orderby=rand');?> <?php while ($my_newquery->have_posts()) : $my_newquery->the_post(); if (in_array($post->ID, $do_not_duplicate)) continue; ?> <div class="homevideo"> <div class="category"> <?php the_category(' '); ?> </div> <div class="videothumb"> <img src="<?php video_thumbnail(); ?>" width="185" height="105" /> </div> <div class="videoname"> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" > <?php the_title(); ?> </a> </div> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>thanks a lot in advance!
