My frontpage post pagination doesn’t work – need assistance with my code

You are calling pagination function. But, does that exist? It is not a standard WP function. If you haven’t added that in your code, functions.php, then that is most likely your problem.

Also, check this: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/the_posts_pagination

So this is the function pagination is calling from my functions.php page:

function pagination($pages = ”, $range = 4) {

$showitems = ($range * 2) + 1;

global $paged;

if (empty($paged))

$paged = 1;

if ($pages == ”) {

global $wp_query;

$pages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;

if (!$pages) {

$pages = 1;

}

}

if (1 != $pages) {

echo “<div class=\”pagination\”>”;

if ($paged > 2 && $paged > $range + 1 && $showitems < $pages)

echo “« First“;

if ($paged > 1 && $showitems < $pages)

echo “‹ Previous“;

for ($i = 1; $i <= $pages; $i++) {

if (1 != $pages && (!($i >= $paged + $range + 1 || $i <= $paged – $range – 1) || $pages <= $showitems)) {

echo ($paged == $i) ? “<span class=\”current\”>” . $i . “</span>” : “” . $i . ““;

}

}

if ($paged < $pages && $showitems < $pages)

echo “Next ›“;

if ($paged < $pages – 1 && $paged + $range – 1 < $pages && $showitems < $pages)

echo “Last »“;

echo “</div>\n”;

}

}

Should I make a code change here?

the posted code is unreadable.

please review about how to post code: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code

what actually is happening with the pagination?

what theme are you using?

does the theme have a specific template file for the front page?
https://developer.www.ads-software.com/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/

if so, what is the code of it?

have you edited anything in your orignal theme?

The theme I used is called Clubber and no the template given was not set up as the demo provided… I’ve improvised quite alot. And sorry, I’ll place back-ticks around the code… here is the pagination function code again:

function pagination($pages = ”, $range = 4) {
    $showitems = ($range * 2) + 1;
    global $paged;
    if (empty($paged))
    $paged = 1;
    if ($pages == ”) {
        global $wp_query;
        $pages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
        if (!$pages) {
            $pages = 1;
        }
    }
if (1 != $pages) {
        echo “<div class=\”pagination\”>”;
        if ($paged > 2 && $paged > $range + 1 && $showitems < $pages)
        echo “? First“;
        if ($paged > 1 && $showitems < $pages)
        echo “? Previous“;
        for ($i = 1; $i <= $pages; $i++) {
            if (1 != $pages && (!($i >= $paged + $range + 1 || $i <= $paged – $range – 1) || $pages <= $showitems)) {
                echo ($paged == $i) ? “<span class=\”current\”>” . $i . “</span>” : “” . $i . ““;
            }
        }
    if ($paged < $pages && $showitems < $pages)
    echo “Next ?“;
    if ($paged < $pages – 1 && $paged + $range – 1 < $pages && $showitems < $pages)
    echo “Last ?“;
    echo “</div>\n”;
    }
}

Here is my home page (frontpage) code again:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
    $page_layout = sidebar_layout();
    switch ($page_layout) {
        case "layout-sidebar-left":
        echo '<div class="sidebar-left">';
        wz_setSection('zone-sidebar');
        if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-page'));
        echo '</div><!-- end .sidebar-left -->';
        break;
        case "layout-sidebar-right":
        echo '<div class="sidebar-right">';
        wz_setSection('zone-sidebar');
        if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-page'));
        echo '</div><!-- end .sidebar-right -->';
        break;
        case "layout-full":
        echo '<div class="sidebar-right">';
        wz_setSection('zone-sidebar');
        if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-page'));
        echo '</div><!-- end .sidebar-right -->';
        break;
    }
?>
	
<div class="fixed">  
    <div class="col-blog-archive">
  
    <div class="title-caribbean"><h3><span style="color:#fff">UPCOMING</span> EVENTS</h3></div>

    <div class="title-caribbean"><h3><span style="color:#fff">LATEST</span> BLOG POSTS</h3></div>
    <?php
        $query    = array(
            'post_type' => 'post',
            'paged' => $paged
        );

        $wp_query = new WP_Query($query);
        if (have_posts())
        while ($wp_query->have_posts()):
        the_post();

        echo '

        if ($image_id) {
            echo '
            <div class="blog-home-cover">

            </div><!-- end .blog-home-cover --> ';
        }
        echo '

            <p class="blog-comment"><a href="' . get_comments_link() . '">';
	    if ($num_comments == 0) {  
	        echo '' . __('No comments', 'clubber') . '';  
	    } elseif ($num_comments == 1) {  
	        echo '' . __('One comment', 'clubber') . '';  
	    } else {  
	    echo '' .$num_comments . ' ' . __('comments', 'clubber') . '';  
        }
	echo '</a></p> 
        </div><!-- end .blog-home-info -->
        <p>' . the_excerpt_max(200) . '...</p>
        <div class="blog-arc-more2"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" rel="bookmark">' . __('Read more', 'clubber') . '</a></div>';
        echo '
    </div><!-- end .blog-archive -->';
    endwhile;
?>

<div class="pagination-pos">
<?php
    if (function_exists("pagination")) {
        pagination();
    }
?>
</div><!-- end .pagination-pos -->								
</div><!-- end .col-blog-archive -->   			 
</div><!-- end .fixed -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

The problem I am experiencing is whenever I click on the pagination number links, the posts stays the same. The url creates a page 2 parameter, but the posts still display the same.
