Multiple WordPress Loops Explained
Basic loop
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <!-- do stuff ... --> <?php endwhile; ?>
Using rewind_posts()
In order to loop through the same query a second time, call rewind_posts(). This will reset the loop counter and allow you to do another loop.
<?php rewind_posts(); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <!-- Do stuff... --> <?php endwhile; ?>
List posts in a “featured” category with query_posts()
// Get the last 3 posts in the featured category.
<?php query_posts('category_name=featured&showposts=3'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- Do featured stuff... -->
<?php endwhile;?>
//We reset the loop
<?php rewind_posts(); ?>
//We build the normal loop that will list out blog posts
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- Do stuff... -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
Create a new query object
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=featured&showposts=3'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<!-- Do special_cat stuff... -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
Store your query for future use
Another version of using multiple Loops takes a different approach to getting around the inability to use have_posts() and the_post(). To solve this, you need to store the original query in a variable, then re-assign it when with the other Loop. This way, you can use all the standard functions that rely on all the globals.
// saving the query
<?php $temp_query = clone $wp_query; ?>
<!-- Do stuff... -->
//listing out featured articles
<?php query_posts('category_name=featured&showposts=3'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- Do special_cat stuff... -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
// restoring the query so it can be later used to display our posts
<?php $wp_query = clone $temp_query; ?>

How to: Show both excerpt and full post on homepage
Open up your index.php and look for the loop. Then replace the loop with the following code:
<?php if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$customField = get_post_custom_values(”full”);
if (isset($customField[0])) {
//Custom field is set, display a full post
the_title();
the_content();
} else {
// No custom field set, let’s display an excerpt
the_title();
the_excerpt();
endwhile;
endif;
?>
