    Hi,

    The pagination was awesome and work well under normal circumstances.
    However, when i try to put in a condition in the main loop(index.php),the pagination will show all post.

    Eg.
    Total i have 100 posts, and i put in a condition checking for post expired by using custom field.When i apply the above,by right there should be 50 posts already expired.And i expecting the pagination show 5 pages instead of 10 pages (using 10 posts per page).But it still came out with 10 pages, after the page 5, it showed no contents/posts.

    Do anyone have any suggestion for the above scenario?
    Appreciate your help and sharing.

    If you are filtering the content after the query, you are going to run into issues with the plugin.

    Can you use a custom query to get the results you want?

    Hi emartin,

    I try to use a custom field to filter out the expired posts.Do you have any idea how this can be done using custom query?

    This is how I do it on my site for one of my pages where I only want to show posts in the “project” category:

    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("category_name=projects&post_status=publish&paged=$paged");

    HTH
