please help, anyone..?

hello david,
sorry to bother you again,
but the solution was great till i added more content page (page of posts template)

at first i used your snippet:

<?php
	$wp_query= null;
	$wp_query = new WP_Query();
	$wp_query->query('showposts=13'.'&paged='.$paged);
?>

and while i had 1 content page everything was great
the problem started when i added more content page as i used for my page of posts template the solution suggested here in the forum
in short the solution suggest is:

<?php
$catID = 0;
if (is_page('contribute')) {
  $catID=6;
} elseif (is_page('about')) {
  $catID=9;
}

if ($catID) {
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts("cat=$catID&paged=$paged");
} ?>

seems that the snippet make it go crazy as it causing the page to show all posts no matter the category.

thats how my code look like in short:

<?php
/*
Template Name: PageOfPosts
*/
get_header(); ?>

	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<div class="post-page" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
			<div class="entry entry_page">
				<?php the_content('<p class="serif">keep reading &raquo;</p>'); ?>

				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

				<?php edit_post_link('edit', '<br /><p>', '</p>'); ?>
			</div>
		</div>
		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('showposts=4'.'&paged='.$paged);
?>       

<?php
$catID=0;
if (is_page('joe'))
{$catID=4;}
elseif (is_page('adam'))
{$catID=18;}

if ($catID) {
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts("cat=$catID&paged=$paged");
} ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

and the complete page of posts template code is here

can you please help me on this.
thanks,
joe.

hey david,
marked the other posts as requested “resolved”.
and i tried to set it in the style.css but it doesn’t workes for me
all the rtl set’s scrumbled it again.
you are right when you saying that when update it will overwrite but i don’t know how to resolve it, as now the pagenavi css overide the rtl settings and uses your code.
i even tried to set it at the end of the style.css for maybe something in the middle overide it but it’s no go.

thanks,
joe.

simply added your code here to the pagenavi css under wp-content/plugins/wp-pagenavi/pagenavi-css.css.
