may i ask what your approach was.. cause I’m having the same problem… ??

I recommend the wp-pagenavi plugin.. it doesn’t use ajax at all, and very easy to set up.

What plugin are you using? I’m trying to find an AJAX pagination system! ??

nobody knows?

looks like it worked perfectly guys (or girls)… thanks a bunch!

oohh … ok thanks, I’ll try that when I get home.

Looks like I spoke a little too fast fellas…. :((((

I have the whole thing working, except for the fact that only ONE post shows up… :??

I don’t have the CSS ready for it to look good with multiple posts, but the following code:

<?php query_posts('category_name=Slides&showposts=5');
	   $slide_image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Slide-img', TRUE); ?>

<div class="slide">
	<div class="slide-image-wrap">
    	<div class="slide-img">
    	<?php if($slide_image !== '') { ?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
            	<img border="none" src="<?php echo $slide_image; ?>" class="slide-image" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
        	</a>
        <?php }
            else { ?>
            	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
                	<img border="none" src="https://www.htgp.org/wp-content/themes/HTGP/images/backgrounds/slide-default.png" class="left" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
                </a>
       	<?php } ?>
    	</div>
    </div>
    <div class="slide-text-wrap">
    	<div class="slide-title">
        	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a>
        </div>
        <div class="slide-excerpt">
            <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
		</div>
    </div>
</div>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

shows only 1(the latest) post in the “Slides” category. All three posts shown lower on the page, I have associated with the “slides” category, but only one shows up… ??? this should be the last problem… i hope… ??

oh.. by the way… final code =

<?php query_posts('category_name=Slides');
	   $slide_image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Slide-img', TRUE); ?>

<div id="slideshow">
	<div id="slide-image-wrap">
    	<div class="slide-img">
    	<?php if($slide_image !== '') { ?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
            	<img border="none" src="<?php echo $slide_image; ?>" class="slide-image" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
        	</a>
        <?php }
            else { ?>
            	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
                	<img border="none" src="https://www.htgp.org/wp-content/themes/HTGP/images/backgrounds/slide-default.png" class="left" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
                </a>
       	<?php } ?>
    </div>
    <div id="slide-text-wrap">
    	<div class="slide-title">
        	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a>
        </div>
        <div class="slide-excerpt">
            <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
		</div>
    </div>
</div>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

Thanks again

looks like I got it fixed!!! FINALLY!!!
now I’ve got to fix the CSS… A LOT!! ??

thanks for the help,

Alex

looks like it works now, but its not showing the images…. arggg..

I changed the “$slide-image” to “$slide_image” after inserting the old way into my regular loop and it having the same problem, so apparently no “-” can be used in variables??? ??

Still having a problem though… ??

nope… still not working…
Is it even possible to define variables in two different loops?
should I try defining the $slide-image in my “standard” loop lower on the page?
Is there another way to define them, because the parse error has a problem with the “=” sign in the line…this is complicated.

what’s that supposed to mean? I have the following code, and it still isn’t working:

<?php $myquery = new WP_Query('category_name=Slides'); ?>

<?php while ($myquery->have_posts()) : $myquery->the_post();
	$slide-image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Slide-img', $single = TRUE);?>

<div id="slideshow">
	<div id="slide-image-wrap">
    	<div class="slide-img">
    	<?php if($slide-image !== '') { ?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
            	<img border="none" src="<?php echo $slide-image; ?>" class="slide-image" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
        	</a>
        <?php }
            else { ?>
            	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
                	<img border="none" src="https://www.htgp.org/wp-content/themes/HTGP/images/backgrounds/slide-default.png" class="left" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
                </a>
       	<?php } ?>
    </div>
    <div id="slide-text-wrap">
    	<div class="slide-title">
        	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a>
        </div>
        <div class="slide-excerpt">
            <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
		</div>
    </div>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

Could you just tell me what I should have? or exactly what to change because this is starting to annoy me :).

thanks, but I still have the problem that I cannot define my variables… I don’t know if I did it right, but here’s what I got:

<?php $myquery = new WP_Query('category_name=Slides'); ?>

<?php while ($myquery->have_posts()) : $myquery->the_post();
	$slide-image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Slide-img', $single = true);
	$thumb-image_class = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Slide-img Class', $single = true); ?>

with all the code neccesary and it still gives me a “parse error, unexpected “=” on line 4…(which s the one that starts with “$slide-image”)
