   I have 2 "blog" pages on my new site. The home page itself and a page titled blog with the following code:
   

   <?php
   	// Query posts
   	query_posts("posts_per_page=5");
   ?>
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   	<!-- all the loop stuff -->
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   So what I do to overwrite the default page behavior, as you can see, is call query_posts() without including the $query_string variable.

   However this screws up my pagination some how. When I call the second page it simply fetches the same posts over and over again. You can try this by going to http://ahrengot.com/blog/ and then navigating to http://ahrengot.com/blog/page/2 or by clicking the "show more posts" button which does the same thing, but loads the page via ajax (Using Paul Irish' Infinite Scroll plugin to do this).

   I figure that I'm going at this from a wrong angle, so I would love any pointers in the right direction!

   Many thanks in advance :)

   My temporary fix is setting post_per_page to -1 so my query now looks like this
   

   <?php
   	// Query ALL posts
   	query_posts("posts_per_page=-1");
   ?>

   However, this is just a temporary fix. I would much prefer to have pagination enabled on my blog page, so any help is still greatly appreciated.

   global $query_string; query_posts($query_string . "&posts_per_page=5");

   alternative:

   query_posts("posts_per_page=5&paged=" . get_query_var('paged'));

   Hi,
   I'm trying to display the posts of the same category of the current post and paginated. However, no matter what i do, no pagination is showing.

   this is the loop I'm using

   <?php query_posts('category_name='. $category->category_nicename .'&posts_per_page=5'.'&paged='.$paged);
   
   ?>
   	 <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   thanks
