   Hi

   I'm hoping someone here can help me please. I've created a custom category page that contains multiple loops e.g.

   http://windows7news.com/category/windows7-guides/

   but when I use the pagination tool at the bottom to see the rest of the posts in that category it shows the same posts (the ones with thumbnails)again:

   http://windows7news.com/category/windows7-guides/page/2/
   http://windows7news.com/category/windows7-guides/page/3/

   How do i fix this? Here's my full code-thanks in advance for any help.

   [moderated Please paste the code into a pastebin such as wordpress.pastebin.ca, and report the link back here.]]

   I don't see any previous_posts_link() and next_posts_link() constucts so look at the WordPress Default themes index.php for examples of those.

   But you might try changing that last query from:
   

   <?php query_posts('category_name=windows7-guides'.'&paged=' . $paged); ?>

   to

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts('category_name=windows7-guides'.'&paged=' . $paged);
   ?>

   Seems you have plugins handling the navigation, and you've got includes in your loop, so maybe need to point you here:

    A good wealth of these would still be relevant.

    http://wordpress.org/tags/paged

    The key here, as Michael has already shown in his initial response, is setting up the $paged variable, or at least the paged parameter inside the query_posts line, since this ultimately controls, and sets, the offset positions in the query, ie. your LIMIT clause in the end SQL query..

    Ideally what i believe you should do, is drop the built-in paging and write your own. I say this simply because i don't think query_posts is equipped to deal with 4 queries (all using query_posts) and paging them..

    You could look at plugins for examples, but i can't say i know any particular plugins specifically that cover this (i'm sure it's been done though).
