    I’m creating a site that lists of blog posts in 6 categories. I have the loop set up the way I want with one exception. I want to wrap each category in a <div>. If I have each query create a <div>, it creates <div>s for every post title. Any suggestions? Where can I insert those <div> tags?

    function giftlist_indexloop() {
		query_posts("posts_per_page=10");
					if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
					<?php echo "<h3><a href='"; the_permalink(); echo "'>"; the_title(); echo "</a></h3>"; ?>
					<?php endwhile; else: ?>
					<h2>Eek</h2>
					<p>There are no posts to show!</p>
					<?php endif ;

					wp_reset_query();

		query_posts("posts_per_page=10&cat=3");
					if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
					<?php echo "<h3><a href='"; the_permalink(); echo "'>"; the_title(); echo "</a></h3>"; ?>
					<?php endwhile; else: ?>
					<h2>Eek</h2>
					<p>There are no posts to show!</p>
					<?php endif;
					wp_reset_query();

		query_posts("posts_per_page=10&cat=4");
					if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
					<?php echo "<h3><a href='"; the_permalink(); echo "'>"; the_title(); echo "</a></h3>"; ?>
					<?php endwhile; else: ?>
					<h2>Eek</h2>
					<p>There are no posts to show!</p>
					<?php endif;
					wp_reset_query();

  • wrap each section completely…..

    the div would start before the query posts and end after the endif

    guess in your code they’d hafta be echoed out…..

    TWO DAYS! Two days of searching and all it required was “echo”. I guess I need to go ahead and buy that PHP book if I can’t figure out something that simple. Thanks so much Rev. It worked perfectly.

    if you are inside of php code already, you have to echo out your html stuff.

    function giftlist_indexloop() {
		query_posts("posts_per_page=10");
					if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    this is all a block of php code, as there is no opening <?php shown it must’ve opened earlier….but at the end there is a ?>

    Glad you got it!!
