newest post showing at top of every page
-
OK, so I’m trying to have a page for each of my categories, but don’t want to generate these pages with archive templates. Basically I just want it to be a list of all the posts from that category. Thing is I also want it paginated.
I did this using query_posts, setting the category and the posts per page. I then added the next page links below this. Now what happens is the “next page” link takes me to a “paged=2” page but it displays the same thing as page 1.
I just figured out I probably shouldn’t be using query_posts for this, huh? What method would be recommended, get_posts? I checked the codex and can implement something else, just not sure what I should be using in the first place, or how to fix the current query_posts problem.
Here’s what I current have now (I know nopaging is set to true, I just did this for now, so disregard that):
<?php query_posts('category_name=tcn-journal&posts_per_page=10&nopaging=true'); ?> <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class="fullpost"> <div class="text_col"> <div class="postdate_single"> [ <?php the_time('F j, Y') ?> ] </div> <div class="story_section_inside"> <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "section", true);?> </div> <div class="posttitle_single"> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a> </div> <div class="postcontent_single"> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> </div> <div class="moretext"> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">full story »</a> </div> </div> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> <div class="post_nav"> <div class="moretext"> <?php previous_posts_link(); ?> <span class="next_posts"><?php next_posts_link(); ?></span> </div> </div> <?php endif; ?>
Thanks so much.
