Is anyone else having this problem in 2.8.x? I followed that blog advice, but the code has changed since 2.7.x yet I’m still having issues. It appears that there has been a bug ticket sent in with a milestone set to be fixed in 2.9. I’d really like to have post navigation work properly with custom permalinks, so if anyone has a fix or a clean hack that would be great.

Just wanted to say thanks again. I was able to fix all my issues with this one piece of information!

Michael,

Thanks for that link. I spent a good four hours last night trying to find where I could make that change and using that information I was able to fix part of the problem in under five minutes. While I’ve still got some errors to work through, that definitely helped me out tremendously!

Thanks again,

@jcow or any one else that might know, I’ve come across another issue using query_posts in this way. Right now everything seems to work fine, but while using next/prev links, each subpage shows the same latest 10 entries rather than older/newer entries. I’ve included the full page code and a link to the site in hopes that someone can see my error.

<div id="main">
	<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
	<?php if (is_page('about') || is_page('shotguns') || is_page('rifles') || is_page('handguns') || is_page('accessories')) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
		<div id="page-info"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
	<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
	<?php				

		if( is_page('shotguns') || is_page('rifles') || is_page('handguns') || is_page('accessories') ){

			$page_name = $wp_query->post->post_name;
			query_posts('category_name='. $page_name);

		while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
			<div class="search-excerpt">
				<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
				<div class="excerpt"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
				<p class="permalink"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permalink to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">Read more...</a></p>
			</div>
			<p class="date"><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></p>
			<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
		<?php endwhile; }
	?>
	<!-- Page Navigation -->
	<div class="pages">
		<div class="newer"><?php previous_posts_link('&laquo; Previous 10 Entries'); ?></div>
		<div class="older"><?php next_posts_link('Next 10 Entries &raquo;'); ?></div>
	</div>
	<div class="pages-shown">
		<?php if (function_exists('wp_searchheader')) : ?>
		<?php wp_searchheader()?>
		<?php endif; ?>
	</div>
</div>

Thanks in advance for any and all help

Thanks stvwlf I’ll give that a try. I swear i miss the most obvious mistakes sometimes!

That worked. For those looking for the correct code, here ya go:

<li><a href="/news"<?php if (!is_home() && !is_page('about') && !is_page('past_conferences') && !is_page('upcoming_conferences') && !is_page('contact') && !is_page('join')) : ?> class="active" <?php endif; ?>>News</a></li>

I found a nice plugin that does the trick. With a little customization, you can easily display the results exactly as you want.

This is great to show how many posts are currently displayed out of a total of posts, but does anyone know of a way to show which section of posts are being displayed? For example the text returned would be:

Showing 11-20 of 54 posts?

If you look at www.ads-software.com’s search results, this is basically what I’m trying to achieve.

I would prefer not to use a numbered system similar to that of the pagenavi plugin if at all possible.

Thanks,

Thanks jcow,

I just arrived at the same conclusions myself. The actual problem was my ‘-‘ typo needed to be an ‘=’. That being said, I’m inclined to go with your variation as I’ve fiddled with a more cumbersome way of using the wp_query but I like your cleaner code instead. Thanks for the quick reply!
