Pagination of posts in page

(@rkorebritscs)

Thanks Senthil! Neat plug-in, but I haven’t got it working yet. I think this is due to the way i collect the data:

$posts = get_posts('category=3');
foreach($posts AS $v){
 //html
}

$args = array(/*stuff*/);

if(function_exists('wp_paging'))
  echo wp_paging('show_all=true');
else
  echo "function does not exist!";

The plugin is installed correctly, do i need to do something with: “if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();”??
I’m still a bit of a WordPress n00b..

Thanks again!

ps.
I have been looking at “The loop”, but I don’t really see how I use this in combination with getting posts from a category?

<?php
	/* Pagination */
	    $category_id = $_GET['category_id'];

	    global $wp_query;
	    $result = new WP_Query('cat='.$category_id);

		$args = array(
		 'base' => add_query_arg( 'paged', '%#%' ),
		 'total' => $result->max_num_pages,
		 'current' => $page
	    );
    ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

…

<?php
/* Pagination */
echo wp_paging('total='.$result->max_num_pages);
?>

In stead of get_posts use a regular loop with WP_query.
Put this before the loop:

<?php $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; ?>
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query("paged=$page&category=3&numberposts=4"); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

Hi Guys,

I still can’t get this working… This is what I have now:

@kees:

<?php $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; ?>
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query("paged=$page&category=3&numberposts=4"); ?>
<?php
while($my_query->have_posts()){
  $my_query->the_post();

  echo the_title();
  echo the_content();
}

$args = array(
  'base' => add_query_arg( 'paged', '%#%' ),
  'total' => $my_query->max_num_pages,
  'current' => $page
);

if(function_exists('wp_paging'))
  echo wp_paging();
else
  echo "does not exist!";

?>

the_title() and the_content() show correctly, but there is no paging…

@senthil:

global $wp_query;
$result = new WP_Query('cat=3');

$args = array(
 'base' => add_query_arg( 'paged', '%#%' ),
 'total' => $result->max_num_pages,
 'current' => $page
  );

if (have_posts()):
  while (have_posts()): 

    the_post();

    echo the_title();
    echo the_content();

  endwhile;
endif;

if(function_exists('wp_paging'))
  echo wp_paging();
else
  echo "does not exist!";

Not working at all…

Have you tried it with wp-pagenavi
I’ve done pagination of a category on a page with that plugin.
This was my loop:

$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query("paged=$page&cat=3");
if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); }
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();

and ending of the loop with this

<?php endwhile ?>
<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>
<?php $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $temp; ?>

Otherwise try it with next_posts_link and previous_posts_link:

<?php next_posts_link('Older Entries »', 0); ?>
<?php previous_posts_link('« Newer Entries', '0') ?>

and see if that works.

I’m back. I’ve just upgraded to WP3 and the paging doesn’t work anymore.

I’ve tried it with WP Paging, WP Paginate and WP Pagenavi…

The loop works fine and the posts are displayed correctly. but there is no navigation…

$wp_query = null;
      $wp_query = new WP_Query();
      $wp_query->query("paged=$page&cat=".$this->category."&posts_per_page=".$this->postsPerPage);

      while ($wp_query->have_posts()):
            echo $wp_query->post->ID; //example
      endwhile;
        if(function_exists('wp_paging')){

          $args = array(
            'base' => add_query_arg( 'paged', '%#%' ),
            'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
            'current' => $page
          );
          wp_paging();
        }
        else die("paging plug-in not installed!");

do you have this in your query as wel:

$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$temp = $wp_query;

and after the loop:
<?php $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $temp; ?>
