Not sure if this is a weird or silly question, but I have a website with a homepage slider that set up something like the following: (obviously not real class names, but just descriptions of what they are)
.... WP QUERY, FEATURED POSTS ...
<ul>UPPER SLIDES CONTAINER</ul>
<li class="Slide With Background Image">
<div class="Slide Description">
<span> Category </span>
<h2> Title </h2>
</div>
</li>
....
</ul>
.... SAME WP QUERY, FEATURED POSTS ...
<ul class="Lower Slide Navigation">
<li class="Slide With Background Image">
<div class="Slide Description">
<span> Category </span>
<h2> Title </h2>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
It is set up this way because, since the main slide cycle is higher, the lower slides show previous and next upcoming slides.
Anyway, to my question: is there a way that I can just use a single DB query to populate both areas?
It seems ineffective to make the same call twice ...
