   I'm trying to create a custom query from a form submit with two dropdown boxes. The form is sending the $region and $job as POST vars.

   This is the custom query used in my template:

   query_posts( array(
   	'paged' => get_query_var('paged'),
   	'orderby' => 'title',
   	'posts_per_page' => 25,
   	'order' => 'ASC',
   	'category__and' => array( $region, $job ) ) );

   The first page with results works fine but when i navigate to page 2,3,4 etc they are blank. I would greatly appreciate any help.

   It depends if you're on a custom page template or in some other theme file:

   I'm using a custom page template and I've tried using both "get_query_var('page')" and "get_query_var('paged')" like your example shows and I get the same result.

   Ah... well, the thing is that POST variables are not transmitted when you click on the links generated by WP-PageNavi.

   You would have to either:

   a) make each link an actual <form> element with hidden inputs that pass the data.

   or

   b) use GET variables instead.

   Thank you! That did it!
   I tried the GET version and that did the trick!
