Pagination and query_posts

  • I am having a problem with using query posts and the pagination system when I click page 2 etc. it refreshes page 1. Has anyone got any suggestions?
    Due to the design I am showing the full post and under that I have a second loop to show two of the excerpts with the paginator to show the rest of the posts
    Here is my code
    `<div id="newscontent">
    <?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <div class="date">Written by <span class="author"><?php the_author() ?></span> On <span class="author"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></span> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?></div>
    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
    <div class="clear"></div>
    </div><!--end of homecontent-->
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    </div><!--end of maincol-->
    <div id="maincolbot"></div>
    <div id="excerptboxes">

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("posts_per_page=2&offset=1&paged=$paged"); ?>

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="excerpts">
    <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    <p><?php excerpt('40'); ?> </p>
    <div class="excerpt_bottom"></div>
    </div><!--end of excerpts-->
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <div class="clear"></div>

    <div id="navigation">
    <?php if(function_exists('wp_page_numbers')) : wp_page_numbers(); endif; ?>
    </div>

    <?php endif; ?>`

    Thanks for your fast response unfortunately because we have reset the query after the main post at the top the subsequent excerpts are not being shown now.

    Thanks anyway

    remove wp_reset_query(); and modify the code with query_posts(“posts_per_page=2&offset=1&paged=”.$paged);

    This changes the pages and shows the two excerpts but it shows the same posts on every page. I have just been reading that offset and pagination do not mix so looks like I am going to hack around with the functions.php!!

    Thanks
