WP-PageNavi getting sctuck on the first page

@noski2009

your query in this line:

<div class="box"><?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?><?php $hol = 1; ?>

is missing the pagination parameter:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Pagination_Parameters

try:

<div class="box"><?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : (get_query_var('page') ? get_query_var('page') : 1 ); query_posts('showposts=5&paged=' . $paged); ?><?php $hol = 1; ?>

(this may look a bit complicated, but simply provides for either ‘paged’ or ‘page’ in the link of paginated pages)

(untested)

Okay,
