[wp-testers] possible bug in get_posts

[michael at mfields.org]

I just tested similar code to what you posted in your last email:
http://wordpress.pastebin.com/srRYBqPF successfully in 3.1-RC3-17376. It
displayed my latest posts as well as the latest entries for 3 custom post
types. I'm not really sure why you are having these issues, but I do not
believe it is due to a bug in get_posts(). Please try the code I posted to
pastebin.

> I tried the code below with the wp_reset_postdata() it seemed to work
> great, until I put a second get_posts loop in the page, after that the 2nd
> one always showed what the first one did despite me change the post_type
> in the query.

> This is the actual code I was using.

> $posts = '';
>
> // Set options for post query
> $post_args = array(
> 	'orderby'	=>  $sort_column,
> 	'order'		=>  $sort_order,
> 	'numberposts'	=>  $limit,
> 	'post_type'	=>  'post',
> );
>
> wp_reset_postdata();
>
> $theposts = get_posts($post_args);

> 		$posts .= '<li><a href=' . get_permalink() . ' title="' .
> sprintf(esc_attr__('Permalink to %s'), the_title_attribute('echo=0')) .
