Pagination by year?

Anyone? 🙂

Hi keesiemeijer,

It is a custom page template, and yes they all use the same custom field for the date.

Here is what I am using..

<?php
					$i = 1;
					$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
					query_posts( array(
									  'cat' => '17',
									  'post__not_in' => array($post_ID),
									  'order' => 'DESC',
									  'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
									  'meta_key' => 'event_date',
									  'posts_per_page' => '12',
									  'paged' => $paged
								 ) );
				?>
				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
				<?php
					$get_event_date = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'event_date', true);
					$get_event_date = substr($get_event_date,0,-3);
					$event_date = date("m/d/Y", $get_event_date); 

				?>

Thanks keesiemeijer… I activated the plugin, used the code above, but all it’s doing now is just listing all the posts on one page. Any ideas?

Yes it does

<?php

get_header();
?>
<!-- Body -->
<div class="wrapper">
	<div id="leftNav">
		<h4>Menu</h4>
		<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => '', 'menu' => 'Sidebar Menu', 'depth' => '1' ) ); ?>
    </div>
    <div id="centerCol">
    	<div id="centerBanner">
		<?php
			if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
				the_post_thumbnail();
			}else{

			}
		?>
		</div>
        <div id="contentArea">
        	<div class="pad">
			<div id="speakers">

				<h2>Previous</h2>

				<?php
					$i = 1;
					// not needed (plugin takes over pagination)
					//$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

					$args = array(
						'cat' => '17',
						'post__not_in' => array( $post_ID ),
						'order' => 'DESC',
						'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
						'meta_key' => 'event_date',
						'date_pagination_type' => 'yearly',
						//'posts_per_page' => '12', why show 12 posts?
						//'paged' => $paged
					);

					// the custom query
					$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

					// set the max_num_pages variable
					if ( function_exists( 'km_dp_set_max_num_pages' ) )
						km_dp_set_max_num_pages( $the_query );
				?>
				<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
				<?php
					$get_event_date = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'event_date', true );
					$get_event_date = substr( $get_event_date, 0, -3 );
					$event_date = date( "m/d/Y", $get_event_date );
				?>
				<div id="<?php echo $i; ?>">
