 * Hi, I’m having a bit of problem with putting multiple loops on the single.php
   page.
 * Basically, I want two additional loops showing specific posts from specific categories
   as well as the full text of a post. For some reason the loops are conflicting
   with one another – instead of showing the post text, it shows the content of 
   one of the other loops.
 * The code I’m using for the additional loops is:
 *     ```
       <?php $posts = get_posts( "category=10&numberposts=1" ); ?>
       <?php if( $posts ) : ?><?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
       <?php the_content('Read more &raquo;'); ?>
       <?php endforeach; ?>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * (the only difference between the two additional loops is the category number 
   and number of posts)
 * The code to display the full single post is :
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <div class="post">
       <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
       <div class="contenttext">
       <?php the_content('<p>Read more &raquo;</p>'); ?>
       </div>
       <?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:<strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>
       <p class="postinfo"><strong>Posted:</strong> <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> under <?php the_category(', ') ?>.<br />
       <a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><strong>Comments:</strong> <?php comments_number('none','1','%'); ?></a>
       <?php edit_post_link('Edit this post',' | ',''); ?></p>
       <?php comments_template(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; else: ?>
       <p>No matching entries found.</p>
       <?php endif; ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * You can see them in action [here](http://82.110.105.87/theillustrationgallery.com/2007/07/04/claire-scully/).
 * I fear my knowledge of PHP and/or WordPress isn’t enough to figure this one out
   by myself, so if anyone has any ideas I’d be most grateful. Thanks!
