 * I have a website that I pull recent posts from WordPress into the footer with
   wp-load.php. On my contact forms, the wp-load.php connection is interfering with
   session variables maintaining between form submissions.
 * Here is stripped down version to show only the form page:
 * [http://www.athomeinkaty.com/properties/test.php](http://www.athomeinkaty.com/properties/test.php)
 * The following code is included, which is causing the SESSION variables to not
   carry forward.
 *     ```
       // Include WordPress
       define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
       require('../blogpress/wp-load.php');
       query_posts('showposts=5');
       ```
   
 * If I remove the above code, it works PERFECTLY.
 * Any help?
