I just tried using this same query on another page and it seems to work fine. Not sure why it will not work on the archive.php file..
here is the error unexpected $end on line 56
Thanks in advance.

Okay,
I tried changing this
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("posts_per_page=1&paged=".$paged);
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
to this
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts($paged . "&posts_per_page=1&paged=' .$paged);
?>
but now I’m getting an T_endwhile error.
is the code in the pastebin the full code of the template file?

That definitely fixed the error message. Thank you, but now I’m getting a 404 when I select the next link. It appears the pagination is not working properly.
Its always something. 🙂
Sorry, that one contains an error. Try it with this one: http://pastebin.com/56UDXh4B

Thanks again, but that took the page navigation away and showed all the post instead of the 1. I even removed the reset since the global was in there and still no luck..
Use the last pastebin (one above your last post).

Well that one brought back the page nav, but still getting the 404 error.

Maybe it has something to do with the structure. So here it is.
-> parent category
–> children category
All of the children are displayed on a certain page. You select the category which then displays all the post within that category. This is where I want to limit the number displayed. Hopefully that gives a better picture.
url for page that displays childern
localhost/?page_id=5
url for category selected
localhost/?cat=4
url for next post link which I get the 404 error
localhost/?cat=4&paged=2
I have the same 404 error on my testsite. Pagination on archive pages is always difficult (don’t know why). I will test further.

Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it.
Try it without a query on the loop with this: http://pastebin.com/M2jdLS1X
and put this in your theme’s functions.php
function my_archive_per_page( &$q ) {
if ( !is_admin() && $q->is_archive ){
if ( isset( $q->query_vars['category_name']) ) {
$catslug = get_category_by_slug($q->query_vars['category_name']);
// change 3 to the parent category of the child categories you only want 1 post per page
if(cat_is_ancestor_of(3, $catslug->term_id)){
$q->set( 'posts_per_page', 1 );
}
}
}
return $q;
}
Change “3” to the parent category ID of the child categories.
I couldn’t get it to work with a normal post query.
