Pagination error

I just solved this problem for myself. are you using

query_posts();

?

Cause if you are, you need to realize that you are altering the main loop and have reset the global query.

here is my code example

global $wp_query;
	query_posts(array_merge(array(
	     'category_name' => 'news-events',
	     'orderby' => 'date',
	     'order' => 'DESC',
	     'posts_per_page' => 5
	     ),$wp_query->query));

In the fact I can’t say. Where do I find it? On index.php?

If yes, here is my index.php code, there is query_posts();
but it’s from an theme I bought, I really don’t know how to change it:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar("slider"); ?>
<?php if(get_option("ocmx_home_page_layout") == "widget") :
	if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && is_active_sidebar("widget1")) : ?>
	<div id="widget-block" class="clearfix">
		<ul class="widget-list clearfix">
			<?php dynamic_sidebar("widget1"); ?>
		</ul>
	</div>
	<?php endif;
else :
	if(get_option("ocmx_home_page_categories") && get_option("ocmx_home_page_categories") !== 0):
		$use_catid = get_option("ocmx_home_page_categories");
		$fetch_category = get_category_by_slug($use_catid);
		$use_category = "cat=".$fetch_category->term_id."&";
	else :
		$use_category = "";
	endif;
	if (is_paged()) :
		query_posts($use_category ."showposts=".get_option("ocmx_home_page_posts")."&paged=".get_query_var('paged'));
	elseif (is_home()) :
		query_posts($use_category."showposts=".get_option("ocmx_home_page_posts"));
	endif; ?>

	<ul class="double-cloumn clearfix">
    	<li id="left-column">
        	<ul class="blog-main-post-container">
            <?php
            query_posts('cat=-3');
            if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
                setup_postdata($post);
				$link = get_permalink($post->ID);
                $image = get_obox_image(528, '240', '', 'div', 'post-image', true); ?>
				<li class="post">
					<?php echo $image; ?>
				    <h2 class="post-title"><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

				    <div class="dater">
						<span class="month"><?php echo date_i18n('M', strtotime($post->post_date)); ?></span>
						<span class="day"><?php echo date_i18n('jS', strtotime($post->post_date)); ?></span>
					</div>

				    <div class="copy clearfix">
				        <?php if($post->post_excerpt !== "") :
				            the_excerpt();
				        else :
				            the_content("");
				        endif; ?>
				        <?php if(get_option("ocmx_meta_reading") != "false"): ?>
				        	<p><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>" class="action-link"><?php _e("Continue lendo. &rarr;", "ocmx"); ?></a></p>
				      <?php endif; ?>
				    </div>
				</li>
            <?php endwhile; ?>

<div align='left'><?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?></div>

	        <?php else: ?>
	            <div class="no-posts clearfix">
	                <h1><?php _e("No post found"); ?></h1>
	                <p><?php _e("Sorry, no posts matched your criteria."); ?></p>
	            </div>
	        <?php endif; ?>
            </ul>
            <?php motionpic_pagination("clearfix", "pagination clearfix"); ?>
        </li>
    	<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
	</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hey jbusci!

WORKS!
Man you can’t imagine how happy I am now!

I have changed some lines with your code and the part “category name” changed for the theme cat name. Worked!

Thanks a lot!
