[wp-hackers] Need help with query_posts and custom post types

[Jonathon Byrd]

you should try running this without using the query_posts as this function
is global and is a custom-ed to remembering prior queries. If you REALLY
want to use it this way, then run wp_reset_query() to clear the query_vars
prior.

I suggest that you do this instead.

$args = array (
'post_type' => 'iphone_apps',
'year' => '2011',
'monthnum' => '4',
'day' => '13',
'posts_per_page' => '5',
'cat' => '5'
);

$apps = new WP_Query;
$apps->query( $args );
global $post;

if ( $apps->have_posts() ) { while ( $apps->have_posts() ) {
$apps->the_post();
//now you can use $post as normal

}}
