Multiple Loops not working
I am trying to run multiple loops on the same page to query two different categories but only one loop works and the other does not (basically the loop that gets read first in my page is the one that works).
Here is my code:
<?php query_posts(array('category_name' => 'events', 'tag' => $post->post_name, 'showposts' => 5)); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<ul>
<li>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</li>
</ul>
<?php endwhile; ?>and...
<?php query_posts(array('category_name' => 'news', 'tag' => $post->post_name, 'showposts' => 5)); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<ul>
<li>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</li>
</ul>
<?php endwhile; ?>So one loop is reading from category Events and the other loop is reading from category News.
I have tried reading the codex about Multiple Loops and doing their suggestions but nothing works thus far

wp_reset_query();
$newQuery = new WP_Query();
$newArgs = array('category_name' => 'news',
'tag' => $post->post_name,
'showposts' => 5);
query_posts($newArgs);
best,

Have you tried create new WP Query for both loop?
It wont interfering default post/page query (although this depend on where you put your custom query_post function..)

Wordpressing says:Hi Christiano,
I did try that before coming here and I thought for sure that would work but it did not.
Duncan's solution above does work however.

$loop2 = new WP_Query(array('category_name' => 'news', 'tag' => $post->post_name, 'showposts' => 5));

Wordpressing says:Hi David,
This solution also works but it appears I had an error in my code initially and went with Duncan's solution which worked well.
I found an example of your solution on a website elsewhere which is what I had tried before coming here.
Thank's for showing up on my thread to you and all (Marvin/Christiano/Duncan)..
Cheers!
