Issue with page navigation with query posts

    I am creating a template to get alle posts from category 9 into one page. But I want this also to be paginated, as there will be more than 30-50 posts.

    I have tried several things:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
 $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=9&showposts=5&paged=$paged'; ?>

    and

    <?php query_posts('cat=9&showposts=5&paged=$paged'); ?>

    even

    <?php
if ( get_query_var('paged') ) {
$paged = get_query_var('paged');
} elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) {
$paged = get_query_var('page');
} else {
$paged = 1;
}
query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'paged' => $paged, 'cat'=> 9, 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) );
?>

    The pagination stays the same: only 1 page and it shows the 5 posts, but there are several more posts, so it should show the pagination right?

    Any help is gladly appreciated!

    Is this on a static front page?

    Try it with:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$my_query = new WP_Query('cat=9&posts_per_page=5&paged='.$paged); ?>
while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post();
// rest of loop

    your last block of code is the only one likely to work;

    so it should show the pagination right?

    do you have any next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link() or posts_nav_link() (or any pagination plugins) in your template ?

    @keesiemeijer, no it is not. Otherwise it would be easier ??

    I’v tried `<?php
    $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
    $my_query = new WP_Query(‘cat=9&posts_per_page=5&paged=’.$paged); ?>

    <?php while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    `
    But it still shows only page 1 of 1

    @alchymyth
    I have <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) : wp_pagenavi(); endif; wp_reset_query();?> as a pagination plugin added yes.

    try this: https://scribu.net/wordpress/wp-pagenavi/wpn-2-74.html

    wp_pagenavi( array( 'query' => $my_query ) );

    I have page navigation now, but only with 1 per page :’)

    I’ll paste the complete code, because I can’t see it anymore ??

    Ok this gives me the page navigation as it should be/look like, BUT when I click on the 2nd page, it still gives me the results of the first page.

    YESSSS I have found it!!!

    If anyone would like the solution, this is it! :))

    Awesome … the solution, but, bummer, can’t see it … is there no way to create links to the pastebin of the offending code if it gets moderated? As is, this is punishing those who need the answer, not those who broke forum rules … a shame.
