10,956 PointsProblems with WP_Query
So I'm following the tutorial over here at,
http://teamtreehouse.com/library/wordpress-custom-loops-with-wpquery
I seem to be running into an issue with my code where rather than displaying the set category "music" it simply displays the page content again.
I am using the 2015 theme instead of the 2012 theme used in the video. Can anyone help point me in the right direction why my code is displaying the page content twice rather than displaying the page content followed by the posts in category "music"?
My code is here, http://pastebin.com/thh2UxbA

2,395 PointsThat is because you call standard loop two times. You should have on line37 in your example this line to call query loop:
```<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>```
