A former colleague has made a custom template for magento however it is listing the products for a category twice. I've been asked to fix it although I know next to nothing about magento...
The template file in question appears to be
app/design/front/end/default/custom-theme/template/catalog/product/list.phtml
This file has what appears like a simple foreach loop to display the products
<?php foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): ?>
$_productCollection->count() returns 6 and on the front end page it says 6 Item(s) and there are 6 products displayed however they are displayed twice. I've tried fiddling with the foreach loops but without improvement. I've also tried comparing app/design/front/end/default/custom-theme/layout/catalog.xml with the one in a template that works but I don't know what I'm doing in there and it made no difference anyway.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is it simple?
Thanks!
edit - adding in list.phtml
