Problem with pagination

Hello guys,

Can someone give me a little help here?

I have this php code:

<?
$paged = ( get_query_var('page') ) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
$query_args = array(
  'post_type' => 'vrvideo',
  'posts_per_page' => 5,
  'paged' => $paged
);

$loop = new WP_Query( $query_args );
echo '<div class="crp_related "><ul>';

while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
echo '<li><a href="', the_permalink(), '">', the_post_thumbnail('related-thumb'), '</a>';
echo '<span class="crp_title" style="bottom:4px;">';
if (strlen($post->post_title) > 27) {
echo substr(the_title($before = '', $after = '', FALSE), 0, 27) . '...'; }
else {
the_title();
}
echo '</span></li>';
endwhile;

echo '</ul>';
echo '<div class="crp_clear"></div></div>';
?>


<?php if ($loop->max_num_pages > 1) { // check if the max number of pages is greater than 1  ?>
  <nav class="prev-next-posts">
    <div class="prev-posts-link">
      <?php echo get_next_posts_link( 'Older Entries', $loop->max_num_pages ); // display older posts link ?>
    </div>
    <div class="next-posts-link">
      <?php echo get_previous_posts_link( 'Newer Entries' ); // display newer posts link ?>
    </div>
  </nav>
<?php } ?>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

PHP:

In my page, I have 6 posts.
The pagination appears fine and is showing 5 posts. Everything good here.
The problem is that when I change page, is showing always the same 5 posts in all pages.

What I did wrong?
Could be the $loop->max_num_pages?

HELP

 

Long time since I worked with pagination on WP, but shouldn't the next/prev links be swapped?

 

Hey bud

What do you mean?
Can you give me an example?

 

Does it happen if you press both links or just for the one that's supposed to give you older posts?

P.S. Your prev-posts-link class includes next posts and vice versa for the second one. Fix that first to avoid confusion.

 

Blank, here's an example:

Page with 6 posts.
When you enter in the page, appears 5 results (post1,post2,post3,post4,post5) and pagination below.
When you click in Older Entries, appears exactly same 5 results (post1,post2,post3,post4,post5) instead of post6.
And if you click in Older Entries again (page 3) appears exactly same results again... and so on...

I tried to replace the code from:

<?php if ($loop->max_num_pages > 1) { // check if the max number of pages is greater than 1 ?>
<nav class="prev-next-posts">
<div class="prev-posts-link">
<?php echo get_next_posts_link( 'Older Entries', $loop->max_num_pages ); // display older posts link ?>
</div>
<div class="next-posts-link">
<?php echo get_previous_posts_link( 'Newer Entries' ); // display newer posts link ?>
</div>
</nav>
<?php } ?>

PHP:

To:

<?php
// next_posts_link() usage with max_num_pages
next_posts_link( 'Older Entries', $loop->max_num_pages );
previous_posts_link( 'Newer Entries' );
?>

PHP:

Works exactly with same issue, so probably the issue is in the code above.

 

<?php if ($loop->max_num_pages > 1) { // check if the max number of pages is greater than 1 ?>
<nav class="prev-next-posts">
<div class="prev-posts-link">
<?php echo get_previous_posts_link( 'Older Entries', $loop->max_num_pages ); // display older posts link ?>
</div>
<div class="next-posts-link">
<?php echo get_next_posts_link( 'Newer Entries' ); // display newer posts link ?>
</div>
</nav>
<?php } ?>

PHP:

And this?

 

With that one the pagination doesn't appear.

 

What? I just swapped links, that's all. If it breaks there, there must be something completely wrong in the core, not the given snippet.

What is $loop->max_num_pages returning (just echo it)?

 

Yeah that's weird hehe

Here goes the echo of:

<?php echo $loop->max_num_pages; ?>

PHP:

Returning:

2

Code (markup):

With this code only appears 2 pages as should be:

<?php
// next_posts_link() usage with max_num_pages
next_posts_link( 'Older Entries', $loop->max_num_pages );
previous_posts_link( 'Newer Entries' );
?>

PHP:

The problem is that is always showing same results in 2nd page...

The issue must be here somewhere:

$paged = ( get_query_var('page') ) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
$query_args = array(
'post_type' => 'vrvideo',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'paged' => $paged
);

$loop = new WP_Query( $query_args );

PHP:

 

Try adding wp_reset_query() after all of the queries called. That's all I can think of w/o having access to given files/website (feel free to PM me though if you are open to share those details; no cost whatsover).

 

Hey,

I solved the problem

I replaced this line:

'paged' => $paged

PHP:

With this one:

'paged' => get_query_var( 'paged' )

PHP:

Now is working perfectly.

Thank you anyway for trying to help me

 

The reason that worked was that you used the wrong name for the call in the get_query_var() when you assigned it to the $paged-variable - you used 'page' inside those, but you used 'paged' in the one that works...
