seriously, i spent so long trying to deal with this issue. everywhere else i looked and everything else i tried was bunk. your simple line of pretty code restored my faith in humanity and wordpress. cheers!!

Dude I just wanted to extend a massive THANK YOU for this. I honestly have been googling for an answer to this for at least 6 days – all day – each day!!! lol…..and Im amazed it was as simple as one small string of code!?…Holy crap, figures. Thanks for this

Good Work.

good job please thank you much

THANK YOU very much . You saved me…thanks

Brilliant, thanks.

Thank you so much for writing this up, just what I needed.

My words can’t express how grateful I am for this bit of code… I’ve been going nuts on the problem for easily 3 hours, not understanding what was wrong. You really saved my day, thanks a lot !

Thanks … It solved a major problem…. thanks again…

This just saved my ass Thanks for putting it together in an easy to follow example!!! You rock.

genius!

Thanks for this code snippet. Helped a lot !

Thanks!! You had saved my life!!!

Thank you very much ! This is very useful !

This drove me crazy for a while until I came across your post. Thank you sooo much!

Nice work! TKS!

This worked perfekt for me:

Thanks a lot!

Had the same problem and found no solution until i used your code. It works! Thank you!

Thank you! Works like a charm! I was searching everywhere for a solution, and here it was!

Cheers

Thanks a lot! great tip

thanks for the tip, worked well for me

God damn can write the snippet:

$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; $wp_query->query(‘cat=20&paged=’.$paged);

Sorry code snippet is this:

query(‘cat=20&paged=’.$paged); ?>

Hi,

This code didnt work for me and I tried multiple variations, I then found a solution which was similar and changed one small bit of your code to get it to work with Pagenavi…..actually I think one of the comments here pointed this out too. You cant us query_posts use $wp_query->query:

query(‘cat=20&paged=’.$paged); ?>

I also put another wp_reset_query at the end of loop. I hope this helps some people as its taken me 2 hours to bodge my way through it!!

you saved me!

What a great help this is. I was thoroughly stumped. Thank you so much. Also I love your comments section you have going on here.

This is my ahead opportunity i fall upon here. I found so many provocative baggage in your blog singularly its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the just individual having all the joy here! maintenance up the meet work.

Gee thnx … it didn’t work at first then I realized I have another set of query_post somewhere on my template , resetting that query with wp_reset_query(); did the job.

Cheers!

Hey man, thanks heaps for this solution – had exactly this problem with a site. Much appreciated!!

thank you for sharing this valuable information. this will be of great help.

Thanks for the workaround. This had me stumped for a while. I had no idea that query_posts() removes all page variables.

Just one quick question though. Is it then possible to change the default page links of “Next Page »” and “« Previous Page” to something like “Older posts” and “Newer posts”?

Thanks

Thank you for this article. I can’t tell you how helpful this simple snippet has been for solving 90% of the issues I was having with a custom theme build.

Much appreciated.

Ok, not this works perfectly. thanks alot!

Thanks Bro!

Well that didn’t work.. I’ll just paste the short snippet then.

query_posts(“cat=category_name&showposts=5&paged=$paged”);

@ Section09

Just use “showposts=5″.

Example:

Cheers

Just what I was looking for, thanks!

hi, Dejan,

don’t know if anyone said anything about it in previous comments.

you have a bug in your code, preventing query_posts() to run properly.

instead of using
query_posts(“category_name=somecat&paged=$paged”);
you should use
query_posts(“category_name=somecat&paged=”.$paged);

i discovered this while i was trying to list ALL posts and it didn’t work. then i took out the $page variable and concatenated it with the rest of the arguments string and it worked like a charm.

thanks for the solution though

F

nice buddy,, thx for this great post!!

Thanks so much for this!

I was wondering if there is a way to limit the amount of posts that are viewable?

Prior to this I was just using So that I could limit the amount of viewable posts to 5. With this code however, I’m not sure where to enter that value. I know you can set the amount of blog posts in the settings, but just wondering if there is a way to do it manually.

Thank you again!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was reading the codex for the query_posts function, and it wasn’t very clear on this point. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for this snippet. Sometimes it’s the little things that get ya.

Thanks! Nice trick

Thanks! I was having trouble because I thought you had to add posts_per_page=$ppp to the query_posts but you do not and it messes it up actually!

Thank you Thank You!

Thanks!! I’ve been struggling with this for a couple of days!

Man, you saved my day! Awesome.

RAD! Thank you so much.

thanks a lot gr8 work……….

Money. And the 50th comment. All I need is a scotch and a blowjob and I’m set.

This is exactly the solution I was looking for. I’m working on a WordPress theme and this fixed the problem. Works with WP-PageNavi plugin, too. Thanks!

Thanks works great!

Just to clarify:

My code goes something like this:
$paged = (get_query_var(’paged’)) ? get_query_var(’paged’) : 1; query_posts(array(’CUSTOM-TAXONOMY’ => ‘CUSTOM-TAX-TERM’));

This is great! Is it possible to integrate it w/ an array instead of the category_name?

My code goes something like this:
$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; query_posts(array(‘anmeldelser’ => ‘anmeldelser’));

how do I integrate that with the pagination?

thanks!

It wont allow me to post my code

I’m sorry but I am still pretty new at this. I’m not actually sure to implement the above statement?

This is my code in my new created page.

<div class="post" id="post-”>

<a href="” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “>

I only want to display 2 post per page, but its showing all of my post. Also the navi link doesn’t even show up?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks very much!
I’ve been in this trouble for several days,and finally you help me out!

Thanks! I’ve been trying to fix this for a few hours. I was sure I’d done it before (probably the very solution from this page!), but couldn’t find anything about it, so I just wasted a lot of time in the forums, reading all posts about “Goddam, don’t put posts on pages, that’s not how it should be done!”.

Should the query_posts really be inside a condition that checks the query…

You should have the query (query_posts) before the condition statement that checks if “that query” has results..

Essentially what you’ve done above is check if there’s posts first (have_posts), then defined the query after the check, which is (in the most simple terms) back to front..

You should have the query_posts (and proberly the paged line to), before the have_posts condition.

great!!
How can I make this work for multiple categories from which all have blog entries in them to display them on the index page?

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Thanks. Who’da thought it would be so hard

Thanks for posting this mate. Hit the nail bang on the head for me.

All the best,
L

Thanks, I have been looking for this for a few hours.

Thanks!!! Just spent forever trying to figure this out. I can finally sleep

Oh my god! It works!!!
thank you so much for this!

thanks from brazil dude!

thank you!!

this was freaking me out, and you have now saved me from many (more) hours of hair pulliing.

Thank you

Oh thanks for this. I didn’t even realize that this problem occurred until I just tested it out on my local installation (redesigning my blog currently using query_posts).

your solution worked perfectly. thanks.

Oh, but doesn’t have anything to do with the showcase I posted before..
Since I changed my theme..

Wish it was that simple on my site, I know many ways to to the same function but can’t get my site to paginate.

Thank you for this – you just saved me hours.

Thank you for this – you just saved me hours.

it works, it works, it works! amazing¬ thanks indeen, many thanks.

Thanks for that one, was wondering why I couln’t get my showcase to paginate over correctly..

Will showcase your site

Thanks for the information!
This is a problem every Wordpress Theme Developper runs into some time.

Thanks a ton for the great information. I’ve been wrestling with this problem for some time now. Cheers.

That is for WP_Query though… Not sure if it’d work in query_posts()

A quicker fix I find is to simply add $query_string to the start of the query:

query($query_string.’cat=-1&offset=3′);

This is the best solution for this that I’ve found in the past 4 hours. Nothing on the Wordpress forum I found comes close to working as well as this does. Thank You!

Thanks mate!
I had this problem before.

Two days ago I had this same problem and resolved reading this post on WP forum: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/152451?replies=13#post-679318

But your solution seems more elegant.
I’ll try it!

Awesome dude

ohoho fantastic stuff! Thanks a lot man!
