broken pagination on custom loop WordPress

  • REFUNDED

I have a more link, but it only resolves to page 2 continually (wordpress is set to have 1 post per page, for testing)

The loop will only show the second post, and will let me get to page 2, but not give me the back link to page 1. It shows the second post on both the first and second pages.

the database has 4 posts, which all display when I put the post limit to 4 or above

Edit: I have updated the prize as it appears it is a much larger job than I thought, a lot of people are giving me the same fix which is not working.

[[LINK href="http://drop.io/pagination"]]here is a link[[/LINK]] to the site as a zip, it is not live and i don't want it to be live yet. The database is in the zip folder. Password is 'pagination'

theme is salf-v4

PLEASE comment any changes with the string 'wpquestions' so I can trace any changes.

EDIT 2: Simplified Script Below AND updated zip file!

Rashad Aliyev answers:

For example that's default loop:

<?php
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("cat=-5&showposts=3&paged=$page");
?>




You disabled your $paged in your code.

//query('post_type=post&paged='.$paged);



change: <strong>query_posts('post_type=post');</strong> to


query_posts('post_type=post&paged='.$paged);

test again..

John Farrow comments:

tried

if (have_posts()) :
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('post_type=post&paged='.$paged);
fb::log($wp_query);
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>


as the start of loop, no joy

Rashad Aliyev comments:

Try this one please.

<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("post_type=post&paged=$paged"); ?>

John Farrow comments:

that's just different syntax for the same thing. I have tried it though, and no joy as predicted.

I have updated the original post with more details.

Baki Goxhaj answers:

Replace this line:

query_posts('post_type=post');

With this line:

query_posts('post_type=post&paged='$page);

John Farrow comments:

loop not begins thus:

if (have_posts()) :
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("post_type=post&paged=$paged");
fb::log($wp_query);
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

same effect

I have updated the question with more details.

John Farrow comments:

*now, not not

Baki Goxhaj comments:

Look at the bolded text - the variables need to be the same - you are missing an "d".

if (have_posts()) :

<strong>$page</strong> = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

query_posts("post_type=post&paged=<strong>$paged</strong>");

fb::log($wp_query);

while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

I removed the JavaScript part just for speed. You need to add that again.

if (have_posts()) : //checks if the current query has any posts
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('post_type=post');//replace the current query with a new one, it takes all posts from the beginning


Try to remove this:
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('post_type=post');//

Is the page acting as expected now?

Peter Bouwmeester answers:

Hi!

If this is a custom loop, as you write, you should not be using query_posts; ref http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts where it says "Use of query_posts on Loops other than the main one can result in your main Loop becoming incorrect and possibly displaying things that you were not expecting."

In stead you could use get_posts (ref http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts) or WP_Query (ref http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts for vars in array) like so:
$my_query = new WP_Query( array(
'cat' => 8, // portfolio
'showposts' => 9,
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'nopaging' => 0,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'post'
) );

if ( $my_query->found_posts == 0 ) // do what is needed, eg return false;

while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
// do what is needed
// postdata is loaded so the_content() etc are all available
endwhile;
wp_reset_query();

Apart from that you shouldnt use query_posts for a custom loop, in your sample code it says
[...]
if (have_posts()) :
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('post_type=post');
[...]
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
[...]

That can never work properly;

"if (have_posts()) :" refers to the outcome of query_posts (of the build-in loop)
"query_posts('post_type=post');" next you attempt to change and rerun that same query_posts
Results will be unpredicatble - like pagination that doesnt work.

Good luck!

Peter Bouwmeester comments:

John,
I downloaded your installation and had a look at the code. Your template does not adhere to WordPress standards which will make it quite a hard task to sort out this issue.
Some observations:
a) you use query_posts on several places in the template; these will all interfere with processing and should actually all not be there. so change them to custom loops.
b) you use 'echo bloginfo(...)' but bloginfo will already echoes causing errors; remove 'echo' from all bloginfo() commands.
c) the pagination is not working since that is controled by the built-in loop (query_posts). So even if you add a custom loop, that still won't make the prev and next functions work.
d) what is it exactly that you are trying to achieve? Should the next and previous post links flip through the posts on the home page or could they lead to just another page?
In the first case, i think you should fundamentally change your setup (make your post category the home page in Settings | Reading, setup a category template that might be pretty much same as the current holding-page template).
In the latter case, you could possibly do something with a custom link in stead of using the prev next post functions.
e) you could still get the prev next functions to work by specifying 1 query_posts command before get_header.php. Thus, you set the built-in loop to use different settings. This is allowed and can work but when i try it seems to break a number of other things.

Still a bit too many variables, i'm affraid.

Zafer Durmuş answers:

Use a plugin for better pagination. I strongly recommend this one;

[[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-pagenavi/"]]http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-pagenavi/[[/LINK]]

John Farrow comments:

using a plugin is masking the problem. I wish to understand it.

Khanh Cao answers:

Removing query_posts('post_type=post'); should make it work :)

John Farrow comments:

that would fail. It would remove necessary specificity from the loop

Khanh Cao comments:

This works on my end. Moved query_posts() up before have_posts():

query_posts('post_type=post&paged=' . get_query_var('paged'));
if (have_posts()):
...

John Farrow comments:

that doesn't work in my theme, something deeper is at fault.

Khanh Cao comments:

I've activated salf-v4 in a test site, it added a bunch of new post types and had some layout bug but the posts and paginations worked properly. It could be some plugin that is causing your problem I guess.

John Farrow comments:

deactivated all the plugins, no joy

Tiago Duarte answers:

Hello there,

I have found this little code, which might solve your problem:

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_get_posts' );

function my_get_posts( $query ) {
if ( is_home() )
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'album', 'movie', 'quote', 'attachment' ) );

return $query;
}

Add it to your functions.php, and you can have the "normal" posts query in your file :)

Hope it works ;)

<p>We are looking for volunteers with the right passion for literature and events to join our team in the busy period from now through to the Festival, which begins mid-October. Relevant experience and a degree are important, but we welcome applications of interest from anyone who believes they have the skills, energy and time to successfully carry out specific roles.</p>
<p>We’ll also be posting up roles that will only be required during the main Festival period, if you want to help but don’t have too much time to commit. </p>
<p>In return you get the chance to work with a brilliant team of people, meet some fantastic authors and gain some great experience working with some of the best arts venues, people and organisations in the business.</p>
<p>If you have tons of initiative, are highly organised with good people skills and love working in a busy environment then get in touch by emailing <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>, referencing which roles you would like to apply for.</p>

also if you want you can change the post per page count from admin as i already set it to one on this holding-page.php so you dont have to set it in the admin.
<strong>
I tested this code and navigation is working</strong>

Nilesh shiragave comments:

You have to add this code in your holding-page.php

Nilesh shiragave comments:

Did you tried that code which i sent in my previous message. Check and let me know

I tested that code.. it works when you not select that page as home page from reading. It stop 's working when you select that page as home page.

that's no use then, as the page IS the home page

vipul jariwala answers:

Hi the correct solution may be,
Please copy and paste below code in functions.php file (at bottom) and your page will rock.
No need of query_post().

<?php
add_action('init','do_settings_cat');
function do_settings_cat(){
global $posts_per_page,$wp_query;
$posts_per_page=1;
add_filter('post_limits', 'posts_per_page_fun' );
}
function posts_per_page_fun(){
if(is_archive()) {
global $wpdb,$paged,$query_string,$posts_per_page; if($_REQUEST['paged']){$paged=$_REQUEST['paged'];}
if($paged){ if($posts_per_page>1){$paged=$paged;}else{$paged=$paged-1;}}else{$paged=0;}
$limit = " limit $paged,$posts_per_page ";
return $limit;
}
}
?>


Thanks
