Navigation blog page: previous – next

it is never the code for the navigation that is causing it;
the reason is likely to be the custom query without the pagination parameter:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#Pagination_Parameters

paged=2 – show the posts that would normally show up just on page 2 when using the “Older Entries” link. You should set this to get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) if you want your query to work with pagination.

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; // pagination
query_posts('posts_per_page=5&paged=' .$paged);

(keep your other query parameter as they are (does not work in connection with the offset parameter))

Hello,

I am having a similar issue, and I’ve tried adding the “paged” code but it is still not working. I have two loops on my site, please take a look & let me know where I am going wrong… Thank you very much!

Loop 1 (large main post)

<?php
					query_posts( 'cat=-9,-10&showposts=1' );
					if (have_posts()) :
						while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();
				?>
<div class="wrapper" style="margin-bottom:25px;">
<?php if( get_post_meta( $post->ID, "image_value", true ) ) : ?>
<div class="image">
<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo( 'template_directory' ); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta( $post->ID, "image_value", true ); ?>&w=930&h=500&zc=1" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="img_main" /></a>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<div class="post_large">

  <div class="headline">

				<?php
						endwhile;
					endif;

Loop 2 (smaller posts, two on each line)

<?php
					query_posts( 'cat=-9,-10&showposts=10&offset=1' );
					if (have_posts()) : $counter = 0;
						while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();

						if( $counter % 2 == 0 )
							$end = "";
						else
							$end = "last";
				?>

<div class="left clearfix">

 </div>
<div class="post_ripped" style="width:95%;">
</div>
 </div>
<?php
					// Clear the left float to allow for different heights
					if( $counter % 2 != 0 )
