2 loops and pagination doesn’t work

  • Hi,

    I have 2 loops in my index page

    <?php
    $posts = get_posts('category=1&numberposts=1');
    foreach($posts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>

    and


    <?php query_posts('cat=-3'); ?>
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    This seems to be messing up my previous/next links. I get the same posts on all the pages.

    How do I resolve this?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply moshu. I tried that and it doesn’t work.
    Any other suggestions?

    I have the same problem, nobody knows the solution?

    On that other link I gave above there are a few different solutions. Which one did you try and didn’t work for you?

    Hi moshu,
    I have a template where I need to have the first post different than others, so there I use in header.php something like this:

    <?php if(have_posts()): ?>
			<?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>
			<?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
                          ....
		    <?php endwhile; ?>
    	<?php endif; ?>

    and then I have another loop which is in index.php:

    <?php
			if (is_home()) {
				$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
				query_posts("offset=1&paged=$paged");
				echo $paged;
			}
			?>
...the loop...

    When I go to another page the value of the $page is always 1 – so that’s why it not works ??

    If you are using query_posts, then you need to include the query_string. Like this:

    query_posts($query_string . "&cat=3,5");

    Without the query_string, pagination and a few other things won’t work properly.

    I still can’t get it to work. Is there any connection with offset parameter and paged parameter? I’m setting offset=1 because the first post is displayed in another loop.

    depi: Your loop is wrong. query_posts should come outside it, and also use the query_string. Like so:

    <?php query_posts($query_string.'&showposts=1'); ?>
<?php if(have_posts()): ?>
<?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
      ....
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    Your second loop has a similar issue with the query_string:

    if (is_home()) {
query_posts($query_string."&offset=1");
}
