Posts per page shows same posts on each page

    I’ve created custom page templates showing the posts for different categories on each page, and would like to limit the number of posts per page to 6.

    I’ve added query_posts('categoryname=news&posts_per_page=6'); to the page and it displays the correct category and limits it to 6 posts, however when I go to page/2 it displays the same 6 posts and so on.

    How do I get it to show the next 6 posts as I wish?

    Any help appreciated.

    Example of proper pagination and corrected category_name:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('category_name=news&posts_per_page=6&paged=' . $paged);
?>

    Is this code supposed to go into the header? I’ve tried it in a category template I’ve made, as I’m having the same problem, but the problem has continued.

    Typically that goes in a category template.

    Thank you, I think I’d put it in the wrong place because now it is working. Thanks again.

    Sorry, but is it possible to have a different number of posts for the first page in the category, and a different number for all other pages in that category?

    I thought I remember seeing someone with a solution for that question but I can’t find it…it was in the forums I’m pretty sure.
