 * Hello,
    I have an issue with the total pages in my blog. I have 19 articles and
   the total pages is 19 (and I have set the number of posts per page to 5, so normally,
   total pages should be 5 max!). I tried pagenavi and pagebar plugins but got the
   same error each time! Is there anything to do to change that? Many thanks

 * Looks like a problem created by your theme (or a plugin, possibly). Can you revert
   to Twenty Eleven theme and see if the problem still persists? You can put back
   your theme afterwards.

 * Hi Krishna,
 * I have replaced Gantry theme by Twenty Eleven and it’s working fine. In order
   to make pagebar working, I modified the file : wp-content/themes/rt_gantry_wp/
   html/home.php as follow :
 * Initial value :
 * _[ Moderator Note: Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use
   the code button. ]_
 *     ```
       <!-- Begin Navigation -->
   
       				<?php if($custom_query->max_num_pages > 1) : ?>
   
       				<div class="rt-pagination nav">
       					<div class="alignleft">
       						<?php next_posts_link('« '._r('Older Entries'), $custom_query->max_num_pages); ?>
       					</div>
       					<div class="alignright">
       						<?php previous_posts_link(_r('Newer Entries').' »', $custom_query->max_num_pages) ?>
       					</div>
       					<div class="clear"></div>
       				</div>
   
       				<?php endif; ?>
   
       				<!-- End Navigation -->
       ```

       <!-- Begin Navigation partie modifiée pour intégrer pagenavi -->
   
       				<?php if($custom_query->max_num_pages > 1) : ?>
   
       				<div class="rt-pagination nav">
       					<?php pagebar(); ?>
       					<div class="clear"></div>
       				</div>

 * It looks OK.
 * While posting code, please use the code button or use `backticks`.

 * OK Krishna,
 * Unfortunately, this is not solving my issue as when I switch to Gantry again,
   the same problem is coming back.

 * Do you have a query on the main loop?

 * Hello,
    I have no issue with redirected links. In fact, it seems that the “total_pages”
   is equal to “total_posts” in my case. If I set the number of post per page to
   1, then, pagebar is working correctly! Regards
