    <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>

    1. COHave you tried echoing variables to see what are they holding? For instance, print `$do_not_duplicate` and see if it's holding the featured post's ID. What is exactly your problem? `if ($post->ID == $do_not_duplicate) continue;` doesn't work, so the featured post shows up twice?

    2. COAnother thing that would be good to check is to echo have_posts(); at the top of the function. Depending where you call the function you may not have posts.

    3. CO@mathielo hmmm you re right, variable isn't storing anything, and when i remove `if ($post->ID == $do_not_duplicate) continue;` from the begining of the second loop, the full loop is displayed, including the featured one, obviously... i am really stuck here, and i am using he code from codex, which makes me even more confused...

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.
