I’m need some help on my query.
I’m building up a category page where on top a post need to show where custom field key ‘uitleg’ has value ‘ja’. Per category there is only one post with that value. I use this post as an introduction post. Below that post I need to show all other posts in the same category minus the introduction post. This part works like a charm.
But then something strange happens. If I got 4 posts in one category (1 introduction post and 3 other posts) the query below repeated itself 4 times beneath eachother. Is there a way to stop this? Must be in one of my foreach queries. But I can’t see where this is going wrong. Anyone can see where this is going wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.

You should take the condition outide the loop meaning above
Therewise every time the loop begins it start the check instead of doing the check then starting the loop if the condition exist.
Its hard for to understand because i dont understand div names
but i think only should be inside the loop
Explanation:
the loop = if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts())……
Anything iside that would go again and again until there are no posts fitting the condition you set before and not inside it.
You should be able to use the offset arg in your get_post() loop.
Fixed it another way
