You might also be able to use "has_tag()" in place of "is_tag()" Kahil,

I think what you want is the query_posts function with the “category_name” or “cat” option in your loops.

You might also be able to use “has_tag()” in place of “is_tag()”

I have an archive page that has multiple loops. Each loop is to show only the posts that have a specific tag within the category that I am looking in. For example: I am in the archive for the category of Cheese. The first loop should show the posts in the category that have the tag of Mouse. The second loop should show only the posts in the category that have the tag of Rat. I want this to do this no matter which category I am in since the tags will remain the same throughout. I tried... if (is_category() && is_tag('mouse')); and... if (is_category() && is_tag('rats')); But this isn't working... It is showing posts for the second loop in the first loop despite having it set to not show duplicate posts. any ideas?

I tried…

if (is_category() && is_tag(‘mouse’));

and…

if (is_category() && is_tag(‘rats’));

But this isn’t working… It is showing posts for the second loop in the first loop despite having it set to not show duplicate posts.

any ideas?

On page two I would like different categories to be displayed in the sub nav bar.

On a third page I would like different categories dislayed in the nav bar.

Do you mean while paging through posts or on individual wordpress pages(like About, Home, Contact)

It may be possible while paging through posts, but I know for sure it is possible if your are talking about individual pages.

Can this be done? I want certain categories to show on my home page. On page 2 I want categories that are different than the home page. On page 3 I want categories that are different than the home page and page two. If this can be done, can you tell me how or where I can learn this. Maybe an example? I seem to be stuck on this topic and need a kickstart. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks I would like different categories to show in the nav bar on different pages. Can this be done?
