How to display pagination for posts?

  • Hi,

    I am using this code below to display a preview of my posts:

    query_posts('cat=1&posts_per_page=1');
	while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
	?>
	<div class="span12 news-container left-align listnews">
		<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
		<p>
			<?php echo substr(get_the_content(), 0, 180); ?>
			<?php if (strlen(get_the_content()) > 180) { echo " ..."; } ?>
		</p>
		<a class="news-button" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more...</a>
	</div>

	<?php
	endwhile;
	wp_reset_query();

    I now need to display a pagination to this. I’ve been using a pagination for my custom post types which worked perfectly but the same one won’t work for normal posts. That’s the code:

    $big = 999999999;
	echo '<div class="pagination">';
	echo paginate_links( array(
		'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
		'format' => '?paged=%#%',
		'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
		'total' => $loop->max_num_pages
	) );
	echo '</div>';

    Is there something I could change on this to make it also work for my posts?

    See the example here:
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/paginate_links#Basic_Example

    Add global $wp_query; before the function and change this:

    'total' => $loop->max_num_pages

    to this:

    'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages

    And add the paged variable to the query:

    Uhm, I did what you said but it doesn’t show me anything. I’m sure I was doing something wrong. Maybe you want to take a look at my current code:

    global $wp_query;
function showAllNews() {
	query_posts('cat=1&posts_per_page=1');
	while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
	?>
	<div class="span12 news-container left-align listnews">
		<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
		<p>
			<?php echo substr(get_the_content(), 0, 180); ?>
			<?php if (strlen(get_the_content()) > 180) { echo " ..."; } ?>
		</p>
		<a class="news-button" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more...</a>
	</div>

	<?php
	endwhile;
	wp_reset_query();

	$big = 999999999;
	$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
	echo '<div class="pagination">';
	echo paginate_links( array(
		'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
		'format' => '?paged=%#%',
		'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
		'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
	) );
	echo '</div>';
}
