Theme Horse

For some reason I didn’t get your answer to my email and meanwhile changed theme…
I got back to these theme now and your solution works!
However, I wanted to know how how can I get a homepage with 0 repetitive posts (except “Main stories” which I don’t mind repetitive there from other sections).

Meaning, I want to display posts as follow:
1. 2 latest posts under “trending stories”
2. 2 posts before them – under “editor’s pick”
3. 4 posts before them under “popular stories”
4. below – earlier posts (that aren’t appear in any of the sections above)

So what is the proper code for that?

Thanks again!
