    I’m using this script for making just one of my categories show on each day of the week;

    <?php global $query_string;
query_posts( $query_string . "&order=ASC" ); ?>
<?php $today = date('N');
if( $today == 1 ) : query_posts( 'cat=6' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 2 ) : query_posts( 'cat=5' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 3 ) : query_posts( 'cat=7' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 4 ) : query_posts( 'cat=9' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 5 ) : query_posts( 'cat=10' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 6 ) : query_posts( 'cat=8' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 7 ) : query_posts( 'cat=11' ); { ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    I show 1 post/page, the count of posts is right, so if the category has 5 posts I can see 5 pages, but with the same post on every page, can someone please help me with this?

  • Try:

    <?php
$today = date('N') ;
if( $today == 1 )  $my_cat = '&cat=6';
elseif( $today == 2 )  $my_cat = '&cat=5';
elseif( $today == 3 ) $my_cat = '&cat=7';
elseif( $today == 4 ) $my_cat = '&cat=9';
elseif( $today == 5 ) $my_cat = '&cat=10';
elseif( $today == 6 ) $my_cat = '&cat=8';
elseif( $today == 7 ) $my_cat = '&cat=11';
else $my_cat = '';
query_posts( $query_string . $my_cat . '&order=ASC' ) ;'
?>

    Hmm sorry but the site isn’t showing at all with that, any other ideas or can you see someting wrong with it?

    With your original code, are the posts shown in the categories? If so, add this above your global $query_string but within the php code:
    if ( get_query_var(‘paged’) ) {
    $paged = get_query_var(‘paged’);
    } elseif ( get_query_var(‘page’) ) {
    $paged = get_query_var(‘page’);
    } else {
    $paged = 1;
    }

    And change: query_posts( $query_string . “&order=ASC” );
    to: query_posts( $query_string . “&order=ASC&paged=$paged” );

    It still doesn’t work in index see this page, it’s the same problem as the whole time, it shows 5 posts (in 5 pages) but the post is the same on every page.

    <?php if ( get_query_var('paged') ) {
$paged = get_query_var('paged');
} elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) {
$paged = get_query_var('page');
} else {
$paged = 1;
}
global $query_string;
query_posts( $query_string . "&order=ASC&paged=$paged" ); ?>

<?php $today = date('N');
if( $today == 1) : query_posts( 'cat=10' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 2 ) : query_posts( 'cat=5' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 3 ) : query_posts( 'cat=7' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 4 ) : query_posts( 'cat=9' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 5 ) : query_posts( 'cat=6' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 6 ) : query_posts( 'cat=11' ); { ?>
<?php } elseif( $today == 7 ) : query_posts( 'cat=8' ); { ?>
<?php } ?>

<?php endif; ?>

    with your conditional query_posts, you are overwriting the first query_posts code;

    try in each of these lines to replace:
    if( $today == 1) : query_posts( 'cat=10' );
    with:
    if( $today == 1) : query_posts( $query_string . "&order=ASC&paged=$paged&cat=10" );
