Custom Post Types, Categories and Pagination

Try #2 – My last post says it has been closed?

—

Hello all,

I have a site I am working on that uses custom post types extensively. I have been able to get pagination on custom post types working correctly. Unfortunately, when I go to a category page and try to go to page 2 I get a 404 error.

Any guesses?

Here’s the site (still under development): ht tp://thermosp okenhere.com/wp/ [remove spaces]
Here is a working category page: ht tp://thermospoke nhere.com/wp/category/a/
And a non-working category page: h ttp://thermosp okenhere.com/wp/category/a/page/2

I’m using month/name permalink settings: htt p://thermospokenh ere.com/wp/2010/10/sample-post/

Here is the code that lists the posts on the categories page:

$catid = get_query_var('cat');
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("cat=$catid&post_type=narrative&posts_per_page=2&paged=$paged&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC");        

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

And here is the code that creates the custom post type:

register_post_type( 'narrative',
        array(
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => __( 'Narratives' ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'Narrative' ),
                'add_new' => __( 'Add New' ),
                'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Narrative' ),
                'edit' => __( 'Edit' ),
                'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Narrative' ),
                'new_item' => __( 'New Narrative' ),
                'view' => __( 'View Narrative' ),
                'view_item' => __( 'View Narrative' ),
                'search_items' => __( 'Search Narratives' ),
                'not_found' => __( 'No Narratives found' ),
                'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Narratives found in Trash' ),
                'parent' => __( 'Parent Narrative' ),
            ),
            'public' => true,
            'show_ui' => true,
            'publicly_queryable' => true,
            'exclude_from_search' => false,
            //'hierarchical' => true,
            'query_var' => true,
            'supports' => array( 'title', 'comments' ),
            'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'content'),
            'taxonomies' => array( 'category')
        )
    );

I have tried http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-category-pagination-fix/ but it doesn’t seem to do anything for me.
