    text
    copied!<p>I am writing a custom multiple loop to be used on a custom category template page. The loop should put one post that is checked as featured in admin, in a separate div, and continue the loop displaying all posts from the category except the featured. </p> <p>Similar to the example provided on the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops_in_Action" rel="nofollow">codex page</a> except I don't want to create a separate category for the featured post.</p> <p>I am using <a href="http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/checkbox/" rel="nofollow">Advanced Custom Fields</a> plugin for the check box that sets posts as featured.</p> <p>I have the following issue with my code: <code>if ($post-&gt;ID == $do_not_duplicate) continue;</code> prevents rest of the loop to be executed. The code below just pulls the latest featured post.</p> <p>Here is my function:</p> <pre><code>function featured() { $featured = new WP_Query(array( 'meta_query' =&gt; array( array( 'key' =&gt; 'featured', 'value' =&gt; '"top"', 'compare' =&gt; 'LIKE' ) ), 'posts_per_page' =&gt; 1 )); while ( $featured-&gt;have_posts() ) : $featured -&gt; the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post-&gt;ID; ?&gt; &lt;div id="featured"&gt; //featured post &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end #featured --&gt; &lt;?php endwhile; if(have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if ($post-&gt;ID == $do_not_duplicate) continue; ?&gt; &lt;div class="container"&gt; // normal posts &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- .charities-container --&gt; &lt;?php endwhile; endif; } </code></pre> <p>Your fresh eyes will help a lot!</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
