    Okay previous post most of stuff is figured out.

    But now that I have my post from my “Catalog” category showing up on my “Product Catalog” page, I want to be able to go to the other post in my catalog category.

    Current setup is I have only 3 post showing and this is my code for the page:

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Product Catalog
*/

get_header(); ?> <!-- header include -->

<div id="left">
	<div id="left-top">
			<h2>Product Catalog</h2>
		</div><!-- end left-top -->	

		<div class="blog-content">
			<?php query_posts('cat=3&showposts=3&order=ASC&orderby=post_title'); ?>
			<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
			<p>
				<?php the_content(); ?>
			</p>

			<?php endwhile; ?>
		</div><!-- end blog-content -->	

			<?php else : ?>

            <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
                <h2><?php _e('Nothing Here'); ?></h2>
            </div>

			<?php endif; ?>

			<div class="catalog-pages">

					<p>
						<?php previous_posts_link(); ?> &bull; <?php next_posts_link(); ?>
					</p>

					<p>

					</p>

			</div><!-- end catalog-pages -->

</div><!-- end left -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?> <!-- sidebar include -->

<?php get_footer(); ?> <!-- footer include -->

</div> <!-- wrap end -->
</body>
</html>

    The Problem is that when I click on the Nav links at the bottom it takes me to additional pages, but doesnt show the other post from the catalog category. Just recycles the same 3 post over and over.

    How can I have it so it will go to the next page of the category showing the next 3 post in the category and vice versa?

    Thanks in advance!

    Read some things about http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

    => Preserving the Original Query (Pagination etc.)

    By default running query_posts will completely overwrite all existing query variables on the current page. Pagination, categories dates etc. will be lost and only the variables you pass into query_posts will be used.

    If you want to preserve the original query you can merge the original query array into your parameter array:

    global $wp_query;
query_posts(
	array_merge(
		array('cat' => 1),
		$wp_query->query
	)
);

    Except your query will probably look something more like:

    Replace:
    query_posts('cat=3&showposts=3&order=ASC&orderby=post_title');
    With:

    global $wp_query;
query_posts(
	array_merge(
		array(
			'cat' => 3,
			'posts_per_page' => 3, // Should work better than showposts
			'order' => 'ASC',
			'orderby' => 'post_title'
		),
		$wp_query->query
	)
);

    I got an error.
    Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home2/singanis/public_html/demosite/wp-content/themes/starkers/english_sos_page.php on line 56

    Please help. My code below:

    .......

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

<?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>

<?php global $wp_query;
query_posts(
		array_merge(
				array(
						'cat' => 10,
						'posts_per_page' => 3,
						'order' => 'ASC',
						'orderby' => 'post_title'
				),
				$wp_query->query
		)
);
?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php $customFieldName = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Name', true); ?>

	<div id="votebox"><?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?></div>

<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<div id="post-height-engsos"><div class="alignleft"><?php the_post_thumbnail('index-post-thumbnail'); ?></div>

			<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> by <?php echo $customFieldName; ?>

<p class="cat-tag">CATEGORIES: <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php the_tags('TAGGED: ', ', ', ''); ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></p>

<div class="more-link"><?php the_content('<br />(READ MORE...)'); ?></div>

</div>
</div>
	<?php endwhile; ?>

        <?php if (next_posts_link() || previous_posts_link()): ?>
		<?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?> | <?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?>

        <?php endif ?>
<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>

<?php else : ?>

	<h2>Not Found</h2>
	<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
	<?php get_search_form(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

......

    Which part did I do wrong?
