Pagination on Template Page WordPress
- SOLVED
I have a template page used for displaying the posts. When I click on the "next posts" button it goes to page 2 but loads the same posts.
Here is my code on my template page:
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$wp_query->query( array( 'posts_per_page' => '6', 'paged' => $paged ) );
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
... Do Stuff
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<nav id="post-nav>">
<div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link('<span class="meta-nav">?</span> Next'); ?></div>
<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link('Previous <span class="meta-nav">?</span>'); ?></div>
</nav>

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts( array( 'posts_per_page' => '6', 'paged' => $paged ) );
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
... Do Stuff

<nav id="post-nav>">
<div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link('<span class="meta-nav">?</span> Next'); ?></div>
<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link('Previous <span class="meta-nav">?</span>'); ?></div>

That seemed to work.
Any reason why pagination wasn't working with WP_Query vs query_posts?
Arnav Joy comments:
Well there is not definite reason for it , some time WP_Query not gets overwrite and takes default value so query_posts works
John Cotton answers:
Have you tried
<blockquote>$paged = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;</blockquote>
?
Anthony Moore comments:
Yes unfortunately that does not work.
Baki Goxhaj answers:
Move this under the pagination lines:
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Please try this
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => '6',
'paged' => $paged
);
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
... Do Stuff
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<nav id="post-nav>">
