Thank you guys for your help in advance.
The page i'm working on is http://www.ourvinyl.com
if you go to the archives page you will see a list of about 20 posts, that are in no particular order.
Now if you click on page 2 and on, you'll see the results the exact way they were meant to be seen. As you can see from the code below, the page is supposed to display 6 posts per page. I have no idea why i'm getting this problem on page 1 but none of the others. I have wasted many days on this issue. I have no idea why theres 20 posts showing up, and why they're not in chronological order.
<?php
/*
Template Name: Category Archive
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<div id="primary">
<h1>Our Vinyl Archives</h1>
<div class="line"> <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/line.png" /> </div>
<?php $temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('showposts=6'.'&paged='.$paged); ?>
<?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?><br/>
<div class="search">
<div id="search-entry"> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
</a>
<div id="excerpt">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a></h2>
<p class="meta">
<?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?>
|
<?php comments_number(); ?> - Category: <?php the_category(' '); ?>
</p>
<!--post meta data-->
<h5>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</h5>
<div class="readmore"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read More >></a></div>
</div><!--end of right excerpt-->
</div><!--end of search entry-->
</div><!--end of primary-->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/nav.php' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<div id="primary">
<h1>No Posts Found</h1>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<!--end of primary-->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Thank you guys for any help you can give me.
