   I am using custom post types for an 'events' page. The events are ordered by their date. Iam using the query_posts function to do this.
   <?php query_posts( 'post_type=events&meta_key=date&orderby=meta_value&order=ASC&posts_per_page=5'); ?>
   However, is there a way to add pagination? I want to show 5 events per page and then paginate. Also, is there a way to delete past date posts?
   Thanks

   Pagination requires three things:

   1. Allowing the viewer to select a page number.
   2. Detecting the requested page number.
   3. Using the page number in the query.

   The first part can be done using the built-in WP function paginate_links() or a plugin such as WP-PageNavi.

   Part two is done by retrieving the query variable 'page':

   <?php $paged = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1; ?>

   Part three is done by adding the 'paged' variable to the query. There are two formats commonly used to pass the argument to query_posts(): a query string or an array. The string method is similar to this:

   query_posts("cat=23&posts_per_page=5&paged=$paged");

   The array arguments method looks like this:
   

   $args = array(
      'cat' => 23,
      'posts_per_page' => 5,
      'paged' => $paged
   );
   query_posts($args);
