Pagination, query_posts, and Equilibrium theme

How many posts do you have set to display on your blog pages

In settings > reading

Blog pages show at most, how many?

Looks like pagination works for category archives

Take a look at the category php file and see what the difference is between that and the index.php

The main difference between archive.php and index.php is the homepage contains this additional section (below). What is the problem(s?) with the code?

<div id="featured">
<h2>Featured</h2>
	 <!-- Edit Below -->
	<?php query_posts('cat=ID&showposts=2'); ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="front-post">
    <div class="featured-post">
        <div class="featured-title">
            <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
</a></h2>
        </div>
        <div class="featured-image">
            <?php image_attachment('image', 303, 231); ?>
        </div>
    </div> <!-- END Featured-post -->
    <div class="postMeta-featured"><span class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?></span><span class="comments"><?php if (function_exists('wpfp_link')) { wpfp_link(); } ?><!-- < ? p h p comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?> --></span></div> <div class="clear"></div>
     <div class="featured-content">
	 <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	<p class="moretext"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Continue Reading...</a></p>
    </div> <!-- END Featured-Content -->

I installed the theme and followed the instructions on

https://www.nerdmatic.com/2009/03/15/adding-paging-pagenavi-to-the-equilibrium-theme/

I was able to get this to work on index.php

I was getting some parse errors from that code from the nerdmatic site. There was a missing semi-colon and some fancy quotes that I changed to simple quotes

Try copying and pasting this

I think there might also be some conflicts between the pagenavi and pagenumbers.

There was a issue with the ellipsis rendering in

<p class=”moretext”>“>Continue Reading…</p>

Fixed here

Good job PBP_Editor.

Notice though that wp_pagenavi() accepts only two parameters: $before and $after.

Wow, PBP_Editor, you’re the man! It works very well.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. That was really a step beyond, and I appreciate it so much.

For the future, if anyone wants to look at the code so graciously provided by PBP_Editor, it may be downloaded from: https://cuteeverything.com/Repaired_Equilibrium_with_Pagenavi_index.php.txt

Thanks again!!!

OK, first off, thanks for all the help so far, I have my categories working as well as my front page….. mostly.

When I use this code on my front page, the FIRST page works perfectly. The link to the second page also works perfectly. But when I go to the second page there aren’t any thumbnails for the posts?

Also, how do I make my search results return with thumbnails like the category results do now?
