    Hi Adria,
    Any chance you could show how exactly you made these two queries?
    I have exactly the same problem as yourself.
    Thanks
    James

    Tried that, but still not working!

    I also changed ‘loop’ to ‘my_query’ as follows:

    <?php $c=0; $my_query = new WP_Query
( array( 'post_type' => 'sport','posts_per_page' => 10 ) );
while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post();
if( in_category('15', $post->ID) ) $c++;
if( in_category('15', $post->ID) && $c < 5 ) skip;?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

    This is in addition to the standard loop, which is further down the page.

    This is what I have in full:

    <?php $c=0;
$loop = new WP_Query
( array( 'post_type' => 'sport','posts_per_page' => 10 ) );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();?>
if( in_category('15') ) $c++;
if(  in_category('15') && $c < 5 ) skip;?>
<li<?php if ( $post->ID == $wp_query->post->ID ) { echo ' class="on"'; } else {} ?>>
<a href="<?php the_permalink()?>">
<div class="green">
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sport_other', true);?>:</div>
</a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>

    This is the main loop further down the page:

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    I also have another wp_query before the wp_query above which is as follows:

    <?php $loop = new WP_Query
( array( 'post_type' => 'sport', 'cat' => '15', 'posts_per_page' => 4 ) );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();?>

    The above are the 4 posts I am trying to exclude from the second loop!

    Thanks Esmi for your help.

    Thanks, but it doesn’t work for some reason. It is including all posts from category 15, and isn’t excluding any.

    This is what I have:

    <?php $c=0;
$loop = new WP_Query
( array( 'post_type' => 'sport','posts_per_page' => 10 ) );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
if( in_category('15') ) $c++;
if(  in_category('15') && $c < 5 ) skip;?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

    Any ideas what may be missing?
    Thanks.

    Hi esmi,
    Thanks very much for your reply, but I should have included all the code that I am using. This query is outside the loop, as the main loop is in action elsewhere on the page.

    If I use the code you suggest, it upsets the conditional statement below, which basically applies the style ‘on’ to the post if it appears elsewhere on the page. 

    <?php
$loop = new WP_Query
( array( 'post_type' => 'sport', 'cat' => '-15', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();?>
<li<?php if
( $post->ID == $wp_query->post->ID )
{ echo ' class="on"'; } else {} ?>></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>

    Any ideas as to how to make your suggested code work with this?

    Thanks a million,
    James
