 * HI. I’m trying to do multiple queries to differents category in home page. I’m
   using this
 *     ```
       $args2 = array( 'numberposts' => 4, 'category' => '5', 'order'=> 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'title' );
       $postslist2 = get_posts( $args2 );
       foreach ($postslist2 as $post2) :  setup_postdata($post2);
   
       endforeach;
       ```
   
 * Then
 *     ```
       $args3 = array( 'numberposts' => 4, 'category' => '6', 'order'=> 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'title' );
       $postslist3 = get_posts( $args3 );
       foreach ($postslist3 as $post3) :  setup_postdata($post3);
   
       endforeach;
       ```
   
 * In practice, I make a loop for any category. The problem is that he show wrong
   posts. For example, he show a post of category 6 in the loop where i’ve indicated
   the category 4.
 * Thanks for anyone who help me and excuse me for my bad english.

 * It sounds like you need to reset the query after each loop. Try adding this after
   your `<?php endforeach; ?>`.
 * `<?php wp_reset_query();?>`

 * This is what im using for multiple loops and its working just fine. It uses wp_reset_postdata();
   to reset the loop. Im using this to display posts from six different categories.
   The categories are defined by name and number of posts are set as well. Hope 
   this helps.

 * HI, i use your code and now it works fine, thank you.
    But I can not understand
   why the other code does not work, it seems to be correct. I wish I could understand
   where the error is.
