Don’t run custom queries in the template to modify query parameters. The main query runs before the template is loaded, doing this is a waste of resources and introduces pagination issues, as you have discovered. Remove your custom WP_Query, restore the normal loop, and use pre_get_posts to modify query parameters before the query is run. … Read more
to change the number of posts per page you can do it in the wp dashboard like in this picture This function on functions.php works for me function tcPostsPerPage( $query ) { if (is_home()){$query->set(‘posts_per_page’, 6);} if (is_archive()){$query->set(‘posts_per_page’, 6);} } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘tcPostsPerPage’ ); the two 6 is limiting to 6 per page, if this doest … Read more
You can check for the existence of a variable, so you don’t overwrite it: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpse7262_pre_get_posts’ ); function wpse7262_pre_get_posts( &$wp_query ) { if ( $wp_query->is_category() ) { if ( ! array_key_exists( ‘post_type’, $wp_query->query_vars ) ) { $wp_query->set( ‘post_type’, ‘game’ ); } if ( ! array_key_exists( ‘posts_per_page’, $wp_query->query_vars ) ) { $wp_query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, 9 ); … Read more
In the template used for category archives you should have no use for new WP_Query. For all the main templates that WordPress loads itself for post archives, WordPress has already queried the correct posts, so you don’t need to query them again with WP_Query. For these templates, it’s the template’s job just to display those … Read more
I assume you have a custom post type: publication in functions.php place that code: function mk_parse_query($query) { if ($query->query_vars[‘post_type’] == ‘publication’)) { set_query_var( ‘posts_per_page’, 5 ); } } if( !is_admin() ) { add_filter(‘parse_query’,’mk_parse_query’); } Similar code works for me, but in my case I was struggling with 404 on custom taxonomies paged urls. Hope this … Read more
You set offset param, so paged param is ignored 😉 From Codex: offset (int) – number of post to displace or pass over. Warning: Setting the offset parameter overrides/ignores the paged If you want to ignore most recent post in this query, you can achieve it in two ways. 1. Custom pagination. $ppp = get_option(‘posts_per_page’); … Read more
I wouldn’t use WordPress’ internal function. We had a very similar question recently: How to style current page number (wp_link_pages)? I wrote a small but flexible function to replace wp_link_pages(). It is probably easier to extend this than hacking around the return value of the native function.
For this particular problem you need to change this.. <?php if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?> For.. <?php if ( $my_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?> However, like Rarst said, if you’re looking to change the “main” query, then query_posts is really what you’re looking for, and the change above wouldn’t be required … Read more
the_posts_pagination uses global query and global query does not have pagination. So it is the correct behavior of WordPress. To overcome from this problem assign custom query to global query then after looping again restore the global query. function foo($args){ $post_type = $args[‘post_type’]; global $wp_query; $original_query = $wp_query; $custom_post_type = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => … Read more
Your problem comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of how WordPress loads the main loop. Here you have a main query that goes and grabs the posts to display in your post type archive. It then decides to load archive-recept.php based on that query. The call to paginate_links then provides the pagination for that main query. … Read more
