Need Help with some code….

  • Here is my simple problem. I am trying to get the previous page and next page function to work with this code, but they do nothing.

    I have a category named news with just five entries in it for now and the top two entries display perfectly, but when I click on next page and previous page the entries do not change at all.

    Do I need to go a different route with the code to get what I want??

    <?php query_posts('category_name=news&showposts=2'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>  

<div class="storycontent" align="left">
		<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
	</div>
<!-- Do special_cat stuff... -->

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?>

  • Try changing:
    <?php query_posts('category_name=news&showposts=2'); ?>
    to

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
	'category_name' => 'news',
	'posts_per_page => 2,
	'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
?>

    Well I tried the code out you gave me and it listed all five entries on the page and for now I needed only two and then the next page and previous page stuff did not show up at all.

    i looked at the page of post code

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Pages

    but even in that code if it is right i do not where to put this code and get it to show up.

    <?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?>

    this is what i use

    <!-- blog_navigation -->
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
<!-- /blog_navigation -->
