pagination dropdown not working! WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hi all, working for a client with a site on wordpress. The people who built it did something wrong with the pagination. As they have gone incognito, I'm asking any of you for help.

Live preview: http://auralight.com/whats-on/

When clicking the button "more awesome news" 10 more news items are indeed loaded, only they are the same that is already showing. Click it one more time and the next 10 news shows.

I've attached the code.

Thanks in advance for the help.

hi, the problem might bet that the "More awesome news" link, points to

[[LINK href="http://auralight.com/whats-on?page=4"]]http://auralight.com/whats-on?page=4[[/LINK]]

instead of

[[LINK href="http://auralight.com/whats-on?paged=4"]]http://auralight.com/whats-on?paged=4[[/LINK]]

so you should try to replace <strong>page</strong> with <strong>paged</strong>, i.e. try replacing this

<a href="<?php echo "{$current_url}?page=" . ( $page + 1 ) ?>" id="load-news" class="red-button" data-type="<?php echo $archive_type; ?>" data-id="<?php echo $archive_id; ?>" data-current-qty="<?php echo $archive->get_current_qty(); ?>" data-total="<?php echo $archive->get_total(); ?>">
<span><?php _e( 'More awesome news', 'auralight' ) ?></span></a>


with this:

<a href="<?php echo "{$current_url}?paged=" . ( $page + 1 ) ?>" id="load-news" class="red-button" data-type="<?php echo $archive_type; ?>" data-id="<?php echo $archive_id; ?>" data-current-qty="<?php echo $archive->get_current_qty(); ?>" data-total="<?php echo $archive->get_total(); ?>">
<span><?php _e( 'More awesome news', 'auralight' ) ?></span></a>


LeTune comments:

I changed page to paged and the button still loads the same posts, looking in firebug the link has been corrected. Cllicking the link in firebug takes me to page to. But clicking the button still generates the same posts!

We're getting closer


Dbranes comments:


maybe there is a problem with:

data-current-qty="<?php echo $archive->get_current_qty(); ?>"



if you change this in firebug from 0 to 10 or 20, does it work then?


Dbranes comments:

the code is in

http://auralight.com/wp-content/themes/auralight/static/js/default.js?ver=3.5

/* * * * * * * * * * * *
* Load more news
* * * * * * * * * * * */
$('#load-news').click(function (evt) {
var $self = $(this),
type = $self.data('type'),
id = $self.data('id'),
current_qty = $self.data('current-qty'),
total = $self.data('total'),
get_data = {
'action' : 'get_news',
'nonce' : null,
'type' : type,
'id' : id,
'offset' : current_qty
};
