 * In short: I’ve spent a LOT of time Googling and reading and trying different 
   configurations, and I simply can’t get previous post / next post or pagination
   working when categories are involved. Here’s what I have right now:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       query_posts("cat=460&paged=$paged");
       ?>
       <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       		<a class="heading" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
       		<p class="post-info"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author_posts_link() ?> in <?php the_tags(''); ?></p>
       		<?php the_post_thumbnail('large', array('class' => 'scaling-image')); ?>
       		<?php the_content('Continue reading [...]') ?>
       		<p class="between-posts"></p>
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>
   
       <?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * This same general configuration works on the index (when categories aren’t involved),
   but as soon as I try to isolate things to posts of a category, all forms of pagination
   stop working entirely. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
