Support » Themes and Templates » Category display navigation problem

  • I have looked all around the forums and not found this issue. I have set up theme templates for archive display. I have pages that are categories so that when you navigate to the category page you see the first 5 posts in that category (e.g. domain.com/commercial shows posts in the category commercial) I use the same nav for next and previous as on the index page in the template that also shows the 5 most recent posts. On the index page the nav takes you to the previous 5 or the next 5 in order of date. In the categorized posts the nav takes you to a link like domain.com/commercial/page/2/ and the same first 5 posts are shown even though there are plenty of posts in the category. Here is the code. If anyone can see what I am missing or point me to the error of my ways I will appreciate it.

    <?php /*
    Template Name: Archive Page
    */ ?>
    <?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);  get_header(); ?>
    <div class="archivepage">
    <div id="all-wrap">
    <div id="contentarea" class="clearhere">
    	<h1><?php echo ucwords($pagename);?> Archive</h1>
    
    	<?php query_posts('category_name='.get_the_title().'&post_status=publish,future');?>
    		<div class="navigation ntop">
    			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
    		  <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
    		</div>
    	<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    
    <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    <h4><?php the_date();?></h4>
    <p class="post-text">
    	<?php the_content();?>
    </p>
    
        <p class="postmetadata alignright">
    	<?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>
    					<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>
        </p>
    
    	<?php endwhile; else: ?>
          <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
          <?php endif; ?>
    
        <div class="navigation nbottom">
    	<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
    		  <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
        </div>         
    
    <p style="clear: both;"></p>
    </div>
    
    </div><!-- end all-wrap-->
    </div>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    I also tried
    <?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;',$in_same_term = false) ?>

    but it did nothing different.

    Thanks for any help.
