 * I have scoured everywhere but cannot find the answer to a simple question.
    I
   would like to pass multiple post_ids to query_posts() and have tried… query_posts(‘
   post_id=1,2,3,4’) but it doesnt work. I know you can pass multiples to get_post()
   but this doesnt support pagination. Please can you tell me if query_posts() supports
   multiple ids?
 * Many Thx

 * You could check the query construct in ‘query.php’, in ‘wp-includes’ folder, 
   but from what I’ve been able to decipher, query_posts(p=ID) works only for a 
   single post…

 * What I did is I put the query_posts through a loop with a variable $postid
 * query_posts(‘post_id=$postid’)
 * it is not pretty but it works

 * You need to use ‘is_single’ and then do your query.
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags)
 * ‘2.4 A Single Post Page’ in the table of contents on the right.
 * Edit: or create a single template. See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development).
   You can create one for a single post id, or multiple id’s by using the ‘is_single’
   function.
 * Of course if you want you can create more complex queries.
