Nesting navigation within a $count loop

    Hey everyone,

    So, I’m using $count to display my index in variable post styles (full width latest post highlight followed by left and right columns for the rest).
    https://victoriaarriaga.com/test_site/

    The code: https://pastebin.com/mDw0jSF1

    The problem I’m having is that my navigation isn’t working correctly. It is currently displaying “Page 1 of 1” despite the fact that there are enough posts for two pages.

    I’m currently using the plugin WP-PageNavi for my navigation, but I believe my problem lies with the way I have it nested within the loop. I was hoping someone could take a look at it and let me know if that’s the case.

    It might be important to note that I also intend to put the navigation at the bottom of the page as well, so any needed special pointers in accomplishing that would be appreciated. ??

    Thanks.

    Update: I’ve also tried replacing the PageNavi code with the conventional

    <?php
next_posts_link( 'Older Entries', $the_query->max_num_pages );
previous_posts_link( 'Newer Entries' );
?>

    and have tried moving it around within my loop to see if I have any luck in getting this to work properly, but haven’t been able to. I’m not very proficient in PHP, so I’m really at a loss now and would really appreciate some advice from those of you more knowledgeable than I.

    Thanks.

    try at least to add the 'paged' parameter to the query;

    Thanks for the reply, alchymyth.

    That’s what I thought I was doing (adding the paged parameter) with:
    $the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page'=> 5, 'paged' => $paged ) );

    But I see my mistake.

    I’m not sure I’ve implemented it properly, but I now have:

    <?php $count = 0;
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'paged' => $paged
);
$the_query = new WP_Query($args);
?>

    If I’m not mistaken, that defines $paged and then sets it to use in the query, right? Though I don’t see that it has fixed the issue I’m having. Page 2 still seems to be the same as the first. :/

    Here is an update of the entire Index:
    https://pastebin.com/SHZsLeJT

    try with ‘page’:

    <?php $count = 0;
$paged = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'paged' => $paged
);
$the_query = new WP_Query($args);
?>

    if that also won’t work, please post the full code of the template; https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code

    That worked perfectly! Thank you! I’ve been banging my head for the past two weeks trying to figure it out and you’ve fixed it for me in two hours. ?? I really appreciate it. Thanks ??

    Just a quick note to anyone trying to get their navigation to work, I had to use the following code to get the navigation to correctly display the current page being viewed:

    <?php $count = 0;
if( get_query_var( 'paged' ) )
	$my_page = get_query_var( 'paged' );
else {
	if( get_query_var( 'page' ) )
		$my_page = get_query_var( 'page' );
	else
		$my_page = 1;
	set_query_var( 'paged', $my_page );
	$paged = $my_page;
}
	$paged = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
	$args = array(
		'posts_per_page' => 5,
		'paged' => $paged
	);
	$the_query = new WP_Query($args);
?>
