The problem here is that WP_Query requires the posts returned to be both in your lists of post IDs and in one of your categories. The SQL query generated by your code looks something like this: SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id) WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.ID IN (8200,3581,38,1562,7613) AND … Read more
The WordPress query object has an internal counter, current_post, which you can use to check the position of the post in the loop you are currently outputting, whether it’s the main query $wp_query or a custom query you create via WP_Query. The important thing to remember about current_post is that it’s zero indexed, the first … Read more
Use get_posts function with WP_Query params instead of get_children. The code will than look like this: $today = getdate(); $pages = get_posts( array( ‘post_status’ => array( ‘publish’, ‘future’ ), ‘post_type’ => ‘event’, ‘sort_order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘year’ => $today[“year”], ‘monthnum’ => $today[“mon”], ‘day’ => $today[“mday”] ) ); foreach ( $pages as $post ) … Read more
The code does not adds posts twice – checked in my local installation.

The code you posted does not query for any content at all. To do that, use the WP_Query object. Please do not use query_posts, especially for secondary Loops. From the Codex: // The Query $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); // The Loop while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); echo ‘<li>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</li>’; … Read more
