WordPress 3.4 broke my paginaton setup

Try it without the query_posts() and with this in your theme’s functions.php:

function my_post_queries( $query ) {
  // not an admin page and it is the main query
  if (!is_admin() && $query->is_main_query()){
    if(is_home()){
      $query->set('posts_per_page', 1);
    }
  }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_post_queries' );

Thanks! That worked great, I downgraded back to 3.3.2, so I need to upgrade again and confirm. Looks promising though!

Edit: Works well in 3.4. Thanks again!

You’re welcome. Let me know if it still works in 3.4.

You make my day. I experienced equivalent issues and your trick solve it !

thanks keesiemeijer, works like a charm!

Hi guys,

I’m using a plugin (wp-ecommerce) and it’s pagination also broke with the new WP 3.4 upgrade. I downgraded now but would like to upgrade. The code where the WP-query is:

function wpsc_a_page_url($page=null) {
	global $wp_query;
	$output = '';
	$curpage = $wp_query->query_vars['paged'];
	if($page != '')
		$wp_query->query_vars['paged'] = $page;
	if($wp_query->is_single === true) {
		$wp_query->query_vars['paged'] = $curpage;
		return wpsc_product_url($wp_query->post->ID);
	} else {
		if( 1 < $wp_query->query_vars['paged']) {
			if(get_option('permalink_structure'))
				$output .= "paged/{$wp_query->query_vars['paged']}/";
			else
				$output = add_query_arg('paged', '', $output);

		}
	return $output;
	}
}

There is also a function for the pagination creation but I don’t think I need to modify that. I have pasted it in pastebin though: https://pastebin.com/Ty2GtdY0

Any ideas on how to modify it so that it works?

Same issue with a Thematic theme. Waiting for the developers to issue a fix.

Any chance this can modified to work with sticky posts?

I was thinking if it would be possible to use this code to display one post per page (as is now) but if a sticky post is set, display that post on the frontpage first and then pagination every other post?

What would be the best approach to this? Modify the function or write some conditionals in the index.php?

Do you mean the my_post_queries function in my first post in this topic?

It is very tricky to have one loop and stickies to adhere to the (posts_per_page) pagination rules. I made it so that if you have sticky posts their post IDs will be merged with all other post IDs.

After they are merged the query on the home page will use the ‘post_in’ argument to display the correct (paginated) posts.
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Post_.26_Page_Parameters

The merged (IDs) results are created and put in the database once (when a visitor visits your home page) so WordPress doesn’t have to merge all ID’s on all paginated pages. The merged (IDs) results will be deleted if you publish or edit a post. Just visit your home page once and all the correct (merged) post id’s are back in the database

I wouldn’t use this if your website has many posts as the array with ID’s in the database will grow very big.

I hope that made sense.

Here are the new functions for in your functions.php: https://pastebin.com/zDJ5nsEr

(delete the old my_post_queries functions)

Wow, your awesome! Your function works great. Just tested it out. Sticky post stays on top and all other posts paginate to one each page correctly.

I cannot thank you enough! Hopefully your code can help others as well as me. I know the previous function for just limiting to one post has helped several others already!

Thanks again!

You’re welcome. But if you have a site with more than 5000 posts I wouldn’t use this second solution because it doesn’t scale well. But then again I don’t know a better solution to have sticky posts adhere to paginagion.

I have the same problem.

After I have added this code to theme functions

function my_post_queries( $query ) {
  // not an admin page and it is the main query
  if (!is_admin() && $query->is_main_query()){
    if(is_home()){
      $query->set('posts_per_page', 1);
    }
  }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_post_queries' );

the pagination of the home/blog posts works correctly, but search, category and tags pagination is still does not work after a certain number of pages, what can I do ?
