I'm trying to make a custom template to display multiple loops from the same custom post type, but different categories. Here's what I am after: From custom post type: 'Portfolio' In custom category 1 'Music': <ul> <li>1 featured post at top</li> <li>Music Heading</li> <li>3 sub-featured posts</li> <li>12 posts (title only)</li> </ul> In custom category 2 'Presenters': - Presenters Heading - 3 posts In custom category 3 'News': - News Heading - 3 posts Here's the code I am working with: <pre><code> <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); //WP loop ?> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php $args=array( //Loop 1 'post_type' => 'dt_portfolio', 'taxonomy' => 'dt_portfolio_category', 'term' => 'music', 'posts_per_page' => 16 ); $myloop = new WP_Query($args); if($myloop->have_posts()) : while($myloop->have_posts()) : $myloop->the_post(); ?>  <?php endwhile; endif; ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); // end music loop ?> </code></pre> <pre><code> <h2>Presenters</h2> <?php $args=array( //Loop 2 'post_type' => 'dt_portfolio', 'taxonomy' => 'dt_portfolio_category', 'term' => 'presenters', 'posts_per_page' => 3 ); $myloop = new WP_Query($args); if($myloop->have_posts()) : while($myloop->have_posts()) : $myloop->the_post(); ?>  <?php endwhile; endif; ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); // end presenters loop ?> </code></pre> <pre><code> <h2>News</h2> <?php $args=array( //Loop 3 'post_type' => 'dt_portfolio', 'taxonomy' => 'dt_portfolio_category', 'term' => 'news', 'posts_per_page' => 3 ); $myloop = new WP_Query($args); if($myloop->have_posts()) : while($myloop->have_posts()) : $myloop->the_post(); ?>  <?php endwhile; endif; ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); // end news loop ?> <?php endwhile; endif; // end WP loop?> </code></pre> Overall the 3 loops work great. The part I need help on is the 1st loop section. I need to take all 16 posts from the same custom taxonomy 'dt_portfolio_category' -> 'music'. But break them into a 1 top featured post (full-width), then a heading, then 3 sub-featured posts (3 columns), then 12 posts with just the title (3 columns). I have tried to break it into 3 separate loops, but the content gets duplicated... and I figure there must be a cleaner way to do it. Thank You!

1. COAs a comment: you have a parent "Loop" with 3 child "Loops" inside. This is useless if not incorrect. Cut out the parent "Loop". Even more, you are getting confused by WP_query and wp_reset_query() a bit; 1) you instantiate 3 WP_Query object with the same name, this is not an error, but make the code harder to read; instead of `$myloop` use `$music`, `$presenters` and `$news` e.g.. 2) `wp_reset_query()` resets the global `$post` and the correlated main query, but it does not reset your objects instantiated from WP_Query class: they don't need to be resetted.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
