• Hi everybody,

    i tried to find something about Multiple loop with independent pagination in the forums and nothing; please, you say me if i am wrong.

    I found this and this but both topics are not resolved. Nothing either searching google.

    After some work I found a solution by myself. Different pagination for each loop in a two loops page works fine now, but not to implement permalinks in them.

    So my code produces two numerical pagination system using WordPress paginate_links() native function. For the first loop, prepared with query_posts to get posts from cat 1, the links are like this:

    http://example.com/?cat=1&paged=2

    For the second one, prepared to list posts from cat 2, like this:

    http://example.com/?cat=2&paged=2

    So, the navigation between pages works fine. You can see here, in Projects and Blog tabs.

    The loops code:

    <?php /* begin first loop */
    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    $query_cat = 1;
    query_posts("posts_per_page=2&cat=$query_cat&paged=$paged");
    if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    /* first loop HTML code */
    
    endwhile;
    
    include "pagination.php";
    
    endif;
    wp_reset_query();
    /* end first loop */
    
    /* begin second loop */
    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    $query_cat = 2;
    query_posts("posts_per_page=5&order=ASC&cat=$query_cat&paged=$paged");
    if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    /* second loop HTML code */
    
    endwhile;
    
    include "pagination.php";
    
    endif;
    wp_reset_query();
    /* end second loop */
    ?>

    And the content of the pagination.php file:

    <?php
    $wp_query->query_vars['paged'] > 1 ? $current = $wp_query->query_vars['paged'] : $current = 1;
    $current_cat = $query_cat;
    
    $pagination = array(
            'base' => @add_query_arg( array('cat' => $current_cat, 'paged' => '%#%'), $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ),
            'format' => '',
            'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
            'current' => $current,
            'show_all' => false,
            'prev_text' => __('«'),
            'next_text' => __('»'),
            'type' => 'plain',
            );
    
    echo paginate_links($pagination);
    ?>

    All this code works fine, but if i add the following code to implement permalinks, then brokes:

    global $wp_rewrite;
    if( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() )
          $pagination['base'] = user_trailingslashit( trailingslashit( remove_query_arg('s',get_pagenum_link(1) ) ) . "page/%#%/", 'paged');

    I have also tried to change the las line into the following with no results:

    $pagination['base'] = user_trailingslashit( trailingslashit( remove_query_arg('s',$current_uri ) ) . "$current_cat_name/", 'cat' . "page/%#%/", 'paged');

    Any idea?
