Latest News plugin – Trouble with output

Ah,

Looks like its duplicating the code….

My standard pages show:

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<?php the_content(''); ?>

	<?php endwhile; endif?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

and this script shows:

<?php
/**
 * @package Latest-News
 * @author James Piggot
 * @version 0.2.0

add_action('init', 'jep_latest_news_init');
function jep_latest_news_init()
{
  // Create new Latest-News custom post type
    $labels = array(
    'name' => _x('Latest News', 'post type general name'),
    'singular_name' => _x('Latest News', 'post type singular name'),

}

function jep_latest_news_loop($args = null)	{
	$defaults = array(
		'news_items' => 500,
		'title' => TRUE,
		'content' => FALSE,
		'before_title' => '<li class="h3">',
		'after_title' => '</li>',
	);

	//global $paged;

	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );

	$qargs=array(
	   	'post_type'=>'latest-news',
	   	'posts_per_page' => $r[news_items],
		'paged' => $paged
	);

	query_posts($qargs);

	while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
	?>
<?php echo($r[before_title]);?>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php echo($r[after_title]);?>
	<?php endwhile;
 }
?>

I’m gusessing the code of :

while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
	?>
<?php echo($r[before_title]);?>
	<a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php echo($r[after_title]);?>
	<?php endwhile;

How can I sort out restricting the post output

Hello wmguk,

I am the author of this plugin so would like to help you to get it working. Can you post the code of the page template that is causing the problem? Please post the code in wordpress.pastebin.com to avoid annoying the moderators here in the forums.
