Two Loops integrated – issue

    Hi, I want to expose an issue concerning the integration of two Loops.
    I have this slider (come from WP Coda Slider plugin), which calls pages:

    <?php query_posts('post_type=page&orderby=title&order=asc'); ?>
<div class="scrollContainer">
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="panel" id="<?php echo $post->post_name ; ?>">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile;?>
</div>

    and it works great.
    In one page content, I run another php Loop to call the posts list, like this:

    <?php query_posts ('post_type=post&order=desc'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a rel="group_news" href="<?php the_permalink() ; ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><?php echo '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;' ?><?php comments_number('No Comments','1 Comment','% Comments'); ?></li><?php endwhile;?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

    And the list is regularly called in that page, in that slider panel to be more precise.

    Unfortunately, posts are also called in next panels of slider, as pages must be, replacing them.
    In short:
    panel 1: page content (ok)
    panel 2: page content (ok)
    panel 3: page content – posts list of second loop (ok)
    panel 4: post content (wrong)
    panel 5: post content (wrong)
    …

    in panel 4 and 5, I expect to have page 4 and 5 content, not the posts !

    I can’t solve this
    thanks a lot

    if your slider is called before your page loop you might want your

    wp_reset_query();

    after the Coda Slider endwhile; just to stop it from potentially interfering

    also:

    I had a similar thing happening to me the other day with the use of query_posts()

    i changed to WP_query and it seemed to fix the issue.. have a look at the reference

    Thanks, I’ll try with wp_reset_query or changing into WP_query, and i will let you know soon

    Resetting query doesn’t fix. I try WP_query

    can you link me to the page this is happening on or are you using a local testing server?

    Sorry for late, I’m using a local server but i’m going to publish it online soon.

    Other says to reset query after slider, but issue remains.
    I forgot to specify that I’m using Exec PHP plugin in order to run the second loop into one page. I’m putting that php code directly into database page content.

    I don’t think this could be the cause, second loop works but, as said, involves other slider pages, putting posts into them…

    Finally I got it !
    I solved by moving the second loop from the page content into a distinct slider panel.

    Now the slider by the first loop calls pages and, separately, calls a single special panel with the second posts loop.

    I think this topic’s closed.

    Thanks to haxxxton
