Hi there!
Just a heads up, I'm very new to WordPress and PHP, so please bare with me.
I have two loops running on my index.php page, one to display the first post as a full-bleed header and the second to show the rest of the posts with an offset so that the header post isn't duplicated. My issue is that I have a horizontal sub-navigation bar in the middle of the loops with links to various categories (i.e. /blog/category/product), but after clicking on the link, the posts don't filter by the category. Instead, every single post loads.
I noticed that removing the queries associated with each loop fixes the problem, but the queries are essential.
It may also be more ideal to only run one loop to keep the webpage load time to a minimum, so if anyone knows how to make that happen with the categories sub-navigation, please let me know!
Here is my code: http://pastebin.com/k2Du5SpT
Thanks in advance for your help!
