Cool – thanks for this. I’ve been trying to create a another loop in the sidebar and didn’t want to use the query_posts function twice. Cheers

any idea son how to use a search keyword filter with wp_query? I’m using several custom wp_queries with filters for different authors in place of the loop but it breaks the search and displays everything regardless of the keyword.

is there a way to add the category name with the post title
so if it had a category name of category 1 and post titles of post 1 and post 2 it come out as:
category 1 post 1
category 1 post 2
anyway to do that?

Hey Josh, what you may be able to do (and this may not be the best way to do it…

you could 1, do a query for just that one post you want the excerpt for

query(‘category_name=news&showposts=1′);
while ($recentPost->have_posts()) : $recentPost->the_post();
?>

Then do another query for the next 3 post titles?

query(‘category_name=news&showposts=3′);
while ($onlyTitles->have_posts()) : $onlyTitles->the_post();
?>

You could put that in an include and put it in your header, or wherever you want it. I actually haven’t tested that code, so it may not even work. But that may give you an idea of what to look for?

Hope it helps.
