Problems with showing posts from specific category

    Hi!

    I’m showing 8 latest posts from category called “arvostelut” (reviews, in english) on top of my site (I mean top of every page). It works great, but when i want to see one full-story in single.php it shows me all the eight reviews besides the one I would like to see.

    So kinda the php query continues to the content even though I would not want that.

    Here’s the code i use to show the 8 latest reviews.

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php query_posts('category_name=arvostelut&posts_per_page=8'); ?>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<div class="etusivu_arvostelu"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
</a></div>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

    btw. it doesn’t matter whether I have this code in header.php or in index.php, single.php, archieve.php etc.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    This confused me. Can you explain further what is it you want (or don’t want). Thanks.

    You know, I click one of those links (one of the eight reviews) so I could read that one, but besides the correct article it shows me eight articles (exactly the same ones I included on top of the site).

    So to be simple… I don’t have a chance to read any article right now.

    Alright…. here’s two screenshots for you.

    So what I have done is: I have clicked the review called August Burns Red – Constellations.

    Here’s what it shows when I don’t have the php query -code which I posted on the very first post of this topic.
    SHOT 1 (as you can see, it gives me the full story of the article Augustu Burns Red. So this is the one which works correctly)

    But when I use the php query code to show the latest reviews on top of my site and when I try to read the same article (August Burns Red) it prints me this: SHOT 2. And after the article Eye For All it shows all the reviews which I have included on top of the page.

    So are you saying…

    When I look at the single post “Eye for All – Self Titled 7” I don’t want “Eye for All – Self Titled 7” to be included in the 8 posts showing in the header?

    If so then you should be able to use the ‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID) argument with query_posts.

    No no no.

    I want to see the article August Burns Red – Constellations (like I see in shot1).

    You know the shot2 gives me wrong result in content div. It shouldn’t show Eye for all.
