Based on several different answers, with a SPECIAL thanks to EAMann‘s similar answer – here’s the method I followed. Using new WP_Query instead of query_posts for this page. Defining the query variable ($main_query) as global. Querying a temp array ($temp_featured) with my featured posts. Creating an array with only the IDs of the `$temp_featured’. Note … Read more
Your two queries are identical, meaning you only need one of them. The basic solution is: global $testimonials; $testimonials = new WP_Query(array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 2, /* <– get both */ ‘post_type’ => ‘testimonial’, ‘post_status’ => ‘published’, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true /* you need this to control post count accurately */ )); // header … Read more

How to fix database error duplicate entry
