Adding Pagination for custom post types

  • Blain is my favorite theme, and I use it all the time. Unfortunately I’ve been having some trouble making a paginated archive page for custom post types. I have one called ‘news’, and supposedly I should be able to go to mywebsite.com/news, and an archive page would automatically come up. That gives me a 404 error.

    So, I made a custom template page and have a loop in it that looks like this

    $args = array (
	'post_type'              => 'news',
	'pagination'             => true,
	'posts_per_page'         => '10',
	'posts_per_archive_page' => '10',
	'order'                  => 'DESC',
	'orderby'                => 'date',
);

    After the loop, I add:

    <?php blain_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>

    It pulls the first 10 news posts, but there is no pagination at the bottom.

    Can you help me at all? How can I make the regular archive work? If that’s impossible, how can I make the custom template file work?

    Thank you very much!!

    OK, I figured some of it out. In my custom template, I used $query as my argument variable, but Blain ONLY accepts $wp_query, like so:

    $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args );

    Now the pagination appears, and looks right, but it doesn’t actually work if I click on one of the other pages yet. I’ll update if I get it figured out.
