How can I add Pagination to my custom page

My website is at https://www.linktwitch.com by the way.

Try putting this after the endwhile:

<div class="navigation">
      <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('? Previous 12', $query->max_num_pages) ?></div>
      <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next 12 ?', $query->max_num_pages) ?></div>
</div>

I’m afraid that doesn’t work. Thanks though.

opps, I didn’t look close enough at your loop. Try changing $query->max_num_pages to $loop->max_num_pages

Also, I’m a little confused as to why you are using wp_query and query_posts together. I haven’t seen that done before.

I wonder if this would do the same thing:

get_header(); ?>
<Div id="Showcaseting" role="show">
<?php FA_display_slider(291); ?>
</div>

		<div id="primary" class="relative">
			<div id="content" role="main">
				<div id="galvidcontainer" >
<h1>Videos</h1>

     <?php /* Loop the stuff from the videos post type */
			$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
         	$args = array(
				'post_type' => 'videos',
				'posts_per_page' => 12,
				'cat' => 1,
				'paged' => $paged
			);

          $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
          while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
		  ?>

          <div class="galvidpre">
               <div class="galvidprevid glass">
               <?php
               /* Set variables and create if stament */
				$videosite = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Video Site', single);
				$videoid = get_post_meta($post->ID, "Video ID", single);
				if ($videosite == vimeo) {
  				echo '<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/'.$videoid.'" width="300" height="190" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>';
				} else if ($videosite == youtube) {
  				echo '<a class="lbpModal"  href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/'.$videoid.'"><img class="alignnone" src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/'.$videoid.'/0.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="190" /></a>';
				} else {
  				echo 'Please Select Video Site Via the CMS';
				}
				?>
               </div>
               <div class="galvidpretext">
                    <h1><?php the_title() ?></h1>
                    <p>
                    <?php /* this is just a limit on characters displayed */
                    $words = explode(" ",strip_tags(get_the_content()));
                    $content = implode(" ",array_splice($words,0,20));
                    echo $content; ?>
                    </p>
               </div>
          </div>

     <?php endwhile;?>
<div class="navigation">
      <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('? Previous 12', $loop->max_num_pages) ?></div>
      <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next 12 ?', $loop->max_num_pages) ?></div>
</div>
</div>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #primary -->

I’m afraid that didn’t work

This might be a silly question, but how many ‘videos’ posts do you have published? If it’s 12 or less, the navigation won’t show up.

At first there were 14.. but after I put in your code, nothing would show up until i put the number of posts down to 12. I reverted the code back to its original and now I have 13 posts.

Found this in the codex:

Pagination Note: You should set get_query_var( ‘page’ ); if you want your query to work with pagination. Since WordPress 3.0.2, you do get_query_var( ‘page’ ) instead of get_query_var( ‘paged’ ). The pagination parameter ‘paged’ for WP_Query() remains the same.

So, maybe change $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;

to:

$paged = (get_query_var(‘page’)) ? get_query_var(‘page’) : 1;

okay thanks..i’ll give it a try

lol it still didn’t work :/ …by the way.. If you look at my video page.. I have a very annoying little “directly before” down there. Do you know how I can remove it?

The only thing I can see that might be missing is wp_reset_postdata();

It should go right after endwhile;

I’m not seeing “directly before”. Did you figure out how to get rid of it?
