 * Hi,
 * I have this strange problem with the custom post loop I have in one of my custom
   page template. The browser is throwing a compression error. Error screenshot:

 * I have also enabled my Gzip compression on the blog.
 * The code which is causing the problem is this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /* Template Name: Custom Blog
        */
   
       get_header();
       ?>
       <div class="pagenev"><div class="conwidth"><?php design_breadcrumbs() ?></div></div>
       <div id="container">
           <div id="content">
   
               <?php
               $args = array('cat' => 18, 'showposts' => 5);
   
               query_posts($args);
   
               if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
                       ?>
   
                       <!-- Blog Entry -->
                       <div class="blog_entry">
                           <!-- Inside -->
                           <div class="inside">
   
                               <h2 class="post-title"><a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

                               <?php

                               the_post_thumbnail('blogs', $attr);
                               ?>

                           </div>
                           <!-- /Inside -->
                       </div>
                       <!-- /Blog Entry -->
   
                   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
                   <div id="page-nav">

                   </div>
               <?php else: ?>
   
                   <h1 class="arc-post-title">Sorry, we couldn't find anything that matched your search.</h1>
   
                   <h3 class="arc-src"><span>You Can Try Another Search...</span></h3>
                   <?php get_search_form(); ?>
                   <p><a>" title="Browse the Home Page">« Or Return to the Home Page</a></p>
   
               <?php
               endif;
               paginator();
               wp_reset_query();
               ?>

 * Code that is similar but working fine:

               query_posts($args);
   
               if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
                       ?>

                               <?php add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link'); ?>
                               <div class="clear"> </div>

                       </div>
                       <div class="content-ver-sep"></div>
                   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
                   <div id="page-nav">
                       <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_posts_link('« Previous Entries') ?></div>

                   </div>
   
               <?php else: ?>
   
                   <h1 class="arc-post-title">Sorry, we couldn't find anything that matched your search.</h1>

                   <?php get_search_form(); ?>
                   <p><a>" title="Browse the Home Page">« Or Return to the Home Page</a></p>
   
               <?php endif;
               wp_reset_query();
               ?>
   
           </div>
   
           <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Can anyone spot where the problem is in the first block of code that is resulting
   in a compression error being thrown by browsers.
 * Thanks.

 * Found the answer:
 * **paginator();** was the problem.
 * Removed it and it is now working.
