   Hi all,

   Can anyone help with this problem.

   I have a WP site built here:
   http://www.thetinderboxblog.com/kha

   I have an issue that the older/newer posts buttons aren't displaying the next images in the database. It just keeps showing the first 5 posts regardless of which page you are on.

   For example,
   http://www.thetinderboxblog.com/kha/animals/page/2
   displays the same as
   http://www.thetinderboxblog.com/kha/animals

   I have added some code to the functions.php that makes sure those buttons are displayed only when their are other posts in that category archive. However regardless of whether I remove that or not, the issue still persists. This is the code I have used for that:
   

   <?php
   /**
    * If more than one page exists, return TRUE.
    */
   function show_posts_nav() {
   	global $wp_query;
   	return ($wp_query->max_num_pages > 1);
   }
   ?>

   Each drawing/painting category uses roughly the same code to display the posts. For the process of this question here is the code for the Animal page:

   [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

   Can anyone see where I'm going wrong here and help me out? I'd greatly appreciate it.
   Link to the page the code above references is, once again, this:

   Adam.

   I appear to have fixed it by changing this:

   <?php query_posts('cat=5s&showposts=5'); ?>

   to this:

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts($y_string.'&cat=5&paged=' . $paged); ?>

   Can anyone see any problems in this?
