Try to change the permalink first to default ?p=n, this is ugly but in my case, this works. Then I believe there’s some glitch dealing with paging if we use pretty permalink like /%category%/%postname%/.
Then I ended up with disabling rewrite when registering custom post_type, but I still could use /%category%/%postname%/ without error on paging.
No I’m not using permalinks, the default option is selected.
In my case, I’ve got four post in my “blog” category. I want to list them 3 by 3. But i don’t want to change reading settings because want to list 10 by 10 in another category. When i use ‘posts_per_page’=>3 paging is not working. But if i set 1 to “Blog pages show at most” field it’s working. After all my search I believe it’s new a bug for WP 3.0!
Hi Tolga~
I have same problem.
It was partially fixed by changing the admin> settings> reading > ‘blog pages show at most’ setting to 1.
If anyone has insight on the problem, I would love to learn a better solution.
Note: I have the default option selected as well and am using ‘posts_per_page’
I inputted this into my functions file (courtesy of Remiz)
//Pagination fix
function remove_page_from_query_string($query_string)
{
if ($query_string['name'] == 'page' && isset($query_string['page'])) {
unset($query_string['name']);
// 'page' in the query_string looks like '/2', so i'm spliting it out
list($delim, $page_index) = split('/', $query_string['page']);
$query_string['paged'] = $page_index;
}
return $query_string;
}
good luck.
Hi, I think I have the same problem. I’m using WP3.1.1
My blog default amount of posts per page is 20. There is a specific category where I want only 10 posts instead of the default.
I did a custom template for that category (category-71.php) with this code:
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=10&paged='.$paged);
When that category got it’s 11th post, the “next posts” link showed up but when I click on it the /page/2/ calls the 404.php template.
The second page only works when the amount of posts goes over 20 posts (the default).
Still haven’t found a workaround it. I need the other categories to have 20 posts, not 10.
I have the same problem too.
Still looking for the solution..
me 3 guys – can’t get pagination to work on categories using /%category%/%postname%/ and default posts per page at 10
hey guys, the fix for me was as follows:
- Login as the admin in WordPress.
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Go to the Reading tab.
- Change the Blog pages show at most from the default 10 to any number. For example, 5.
- Save the changes.
- View the blog.
