When the loop is complete, have_posts() rewinds it back by calling the rewind_posts() method of the $wp_query object, see here. Here’s another (more simple?) setup that you could try: while( have_posts()): the_post(); if ( 0 == $wp_query->current_post ): // post 1 elseif ( 1 == $wp_query->current_post ): // post 2 else: // other posts endif; … Read more
I don’t know of any WordPress-specific way to exclude duplicate-title posts from a query and I’m sure that there are multiple ways to address this. The solution that jumps to mind is to store each post title in an array and then check to see if that title is already there before outputting the post. … Read more
Just for information, this is a bug in WP and autop. You can view the ticket here and it does not look like it will be fixed any time soon. The work around is to start your multiline comment with <!– and end it with <!– –>

You will have to run a custom query for that. Here is the query for displaying posts from a particular year. I have used year 2012 as an example. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1, ‘year’ => ‘2012’, ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( … Read more
I think instead of using PHP rand you’re better off limiting ( if you need to ) using posts_per_page and then getting a random set using orderby => ‘rand’. Full List of Ordering Parameters So if I were to edit your query it would look like this: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘meta_key’ => … Read more
As Milo noted, the final result might look something like the following if ($wp_query->have_posts()) { while ($wp_query->have_posts()) { $wp_query->the_post(); $post_title = get_the_title(); # On the first pass, write the start of your single container if ( 0 == $wp_query->current_post ) { echo ‘<div class=”container”>’; } echo <<<HTML <div class=”different-post-style”> {$the_title} </div> HTML; # On the … Read more
Don’t run a new query for your CPT at every iteration of the main Loop. Pull it once, outside the Look with ‘posts_per_page’ => 4 then increment it as you go.
