Custom Taxonomy Navigation Problem: paged=1 works, paged=2 doesnt

If it works on your localhost and it doesn’t work live, and it’s the same code, then it means the problem is somewhere in the live database (settings, active plugins, etc.)

Thanks for your replay scribu, I thought about it and I can’t seem to find out why this happens. I will try to use the theme on a fresh wordpress installation and see how that works.

There were some other problems with wordpress 3.1. For example, my custom post type name had uppercase letters. I must have skipped the line from the codex page that said we should not use uppercase letters.

Now all the old products have the post_type = “LOBJ_Product” and the new ones have post_type = “lobj_product”. Luckily I was able to fix this with a simple SQL Update wp_posts SET post_type = “lobj_product” where post_type = “LOBJ_Product” but anyway, quite a bad move they did with 3.1…

I tried with a new installation and it still doesn’t work. https://webcodetuts.com/lesobjects.ro/?taxonomy=lobj_product_category&term=handmade

Why is this happening ONLY on my host, and not on my localhost? ??

It seems to be working fine now.

I make a patch for it. On my 404.php template I check to see if paged and taxonomy variables are set in get_query_vars. If true, I include the taxonomy-mytaxonomyname.php instead of the rest of the 404 page.

Not the best, but it works… There are so many reasons this is not a good move, but hey, I think they will fix this soon.

Hi, I’m having issues with paginated taxonomies (and blog) with WP 3.1 too. Both with my own theme and the ‘Lotus’ theme that I tried recently!!

Is there a fix that anyone knows of?

Many thanks,

Antony

@agilius:

can you elaborate on your solution here?

OK :::

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

should actually be:

$paged = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;

see here:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/16353/custom-taxonomy-not-working-with-posts-per-page-in-new-wp-query-pagination-probl

i should also mention that next_posts_link(), previous_posts_link() and posts_nav_link() all pull up a faulty URL and i had to catch this custom setup for pagination:

<?php // OK, custom tax's dont work nice with query_posts (i think) but they DEF dont work nice with next_posts(), previous_posts() and  posts_nav_link()
              // SO, got the custom page nav from here:
              // https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/adding-pagination-to-a-wp_query-loop?replies=16
        if($taxquery->max_num_pages>1){
          if ($paged > 1) { ?>
            <a href="<?php echo '?page=' . ($paged -1); //prev link ?>"><</a>
          <?php
          }
          for($i=1;$i<=$taxquery->max_num_pages;$i++){?>
            <a href="<?php echo '?page=' . $i; ?>" <?php echo ($paged==$i)? 'class="selected"':'';?>><?php echo $i;?></a>
          <?php
          }
          if($paged < $taxquery->max_num_pages){?>
            <a href="<?php echo '?page=' . ($paged + 1); //next link ?>">></a>
          <?php
          }
        }?>

which i based off this semi-related support topic:

@cornhustlah

Thanks for the page vs paged hint. I found it out on my own and didn’t know why it happened.

To explain what I did with the 404 problem.

On my 404.php I had something like

if(/* see if paged var exists, and some other condition indicating that I have a cusotm taxonomy present*/) : redirect to taxonomy template; else : do 404; endif;

This works in some very few cases, but hey ?? it fixed it for me. It’s a small site anyway.

I have a same issue guyz please help me out

Here is my code for register custom post type and taxonomy

add_action(‘init’, ‘ep_add_equipment’);
function ep_add_equipment()
{
$labels = array(
‘name’ => _x(‘Equipments’, ‘post type general name’, ‘epanel’),
‘singular_name’ => _x(‘Equipments’, ‘post type singular name’, ‘epanel’),
‘add_new’ => _x(‘Add New Equipment’, ‘slide’, ‘epanel’),
‘add_new_item’ => __(‘Add New Equipment’, ‘epanel’),
‘edit_item’ => __(‘Edit Equipment’, ‘epanel’),
‘new_item’ => __(‘New Equipment’, ‘epanel’),
‘view_item’ => __(‘View Equipments’, ‘epanel’),
‘search_items’ => __(‘Search Equipments’, ‘epanel’),
‘not_found’ => __(‘No Equipments found’, ‘epanel’),
‘not_found_in_trash’ => __(‘No Equipments found in Trash’, ‘epanel’),
‘parent_item_colon’ => ”
);
$args = array(
‘labels’ => $labels,
‘public’ => true,
‘publicly_queryable’ => true,
‘show_ui’ => true,
‘query_var’ => true,
‘rewrite’ => array(‘slug’ => ‘products’),
‘capability_type’ => ‘post’,
‘exclude_from_search’ => true,
‘hierarchical’ => true,
‘menu_icon’ => get_template_directory_uri() .’/images/equipment.png’,
‘menu_position’ => 5,
‘can_export’ => true,
‘supports’ => array(‘title’,’editor’,’thumbnail’, ‘comments’,’page-attributes’,’excerpt’/*,’author’,’excerpt’*/),
);
register_post_type(‘equipment’,$args);

register_taxonomy(‘equipments’, ‘equipment’, array(‘hierarchical’ => true, ‘show_in_nav_menus’ => true, ‘show_ui’ => true,
‘query_var’ => true, ‘labels’ => array(‘name’ => __( ‘Equipments Categories’ ), ‘singular_label’ => __(‘Category’), ‘add_new_item’ => __( ‘Add New Category’ ), ‘search_items’ => __( ‘Search Categories’ )), ‘rewrite’ => array(‘slug’ => ‘equipments’)));

}

function add_menu_admin_bar() {
global $wp_admin_bar;

if ( !is_super_admin() || !is_admin_bar_showing() )
exit;

// $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( ‘id’ => ‘theme_options’, ‘title’ =>__( ‘E-Panel’, ‘epanel’ ), ‘href’ => admin_url(‘admin.php’).”?page=epanel_settings” ) );
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( ‘id’ => ‘equipment’, ‘title’ =>__( ‘Equipments’, ‘epanel’ ), ‘href’ => admin_url(‘edit.php’).”?post_type=equipment” ) );

$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( ‘parent’ => ‘equipment’, ‘title’ =>__( ‘Add New Equipment’, ‘epanel’ ), ‘href’ => admin_url(‘post-new.php’).”?post_type=equipment” ) );
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( ‘parent’ => ‘equipment’, ‘title’ =>__( ‘Equipment Categories’, ‘epanel’ ), ‘href’ => admin_url(‘edit-tags.php’).”?taxonomy=equipment_categories&post_type=equipment” ) );

}
add_action( ‘admin_bar_menu’, ‘add_menu_admin_bar’ , 70);

Loop code for taxonomy.php

<?php
$term = get_term_by( ‘slug’, get_query_var( ‘term’ ), get_query_var( ‘taxonomy’ ) );
$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
$args=array(
‘taxonomy’ => $term->taxonomy,
‘term’ => $term->slug,
‘post_type’ => ‘equipment’,
‘paged’=> $paged,
/*’posts_per_page’ => 10,*/
‘caller_get_posts’=> 1
);
?>
<?php query_posts( $args ); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Hey people!

There is a well hidden trap on this subject!
I was having a problem of a 404 error on every time I tried to navigate to the second page of a custom post page. After few tries I did narrow down the problem! It was related to my permalinks and my slugs!

My custom post was called (slug):
PREVIEWS
My page was also called (slug):
PREVIEWS

This makes the pagination not work, and the only way to correct it is:

1 – You need to change the slug of your page, for example:
MY-PREVIEWS

2 – Or you need to change the slug of your custom post, for example:
LIST-OF-PREVIEWS

3 – Or, if you are using the Custom Post Type UI plugin, you can easily just adjust the rewrite slug of the custom post to, for example:
PREVIEW

And at last, not least, remember:
Custom post navigation will work only with:
query_posts($args)

It will never work with
$query = new WP_query($args)

Regards,
Cospefogo.

Why it It will never work with
$query = new WP_query($args)?

I am using new WP_query for this
