  Hey all, I have been creating a theme for a friend of mine and have come across a big issue that has had me stumped for several hours already.

  I have created a seperate category-12.php page to show just posts from cat=12 and also show a particular post at the top using the following code.

  [code]<?php
  /**
  * @package WordPress
  * @subpackage Catamount Theme by Will Roberts - imagelimited.co.uk
  */
  ?>
  <?php get_header(); ?>

  <div id="left_bar">
  <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
  <div style="clear:both"></div>
  </div>

  <div id="right_bar">

  <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
  <?php query_posts('p=291'); ?>
  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

  <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
  <h2>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
  <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

  <div class="entry">
  <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
  </div>

  <p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '
  '); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
  </div>
  <?php endwhile; ?>

  <div class="navigation">
  <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
  <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
  </div>

  <?php else : ?>

  <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
  <p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
  <?php get_search_form(); ?>

  <?php endif; ?>

  <?php query_posts('cat=12&showposts=4'); ?>
  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>

  <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
  <h2>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
  <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

  <div class="entry">
  <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
  </div>

  <p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '
  '); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
  </div>
  <?php endwhile; ?>

  <div class="navigation">
  <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
  <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
  </div>

  <?php else : ?>

  <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
  <p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
  <?php get_search_form(); ?>

  <?php endif; ?>
  </div>
  </div>

  <?php get_footer(); ?>
  [/code]

  For some reason every time i click older entries it simply opens up the same page of results. I just cant get it to display the correct ones.

  Any ideas?
