As I already stated in a comment to your answer, you should never make use of query_posts Note: This function isn’t meant to be used by plugins or themes. As explained later, there are better, more performant options to alter the main query. query_posts() is overly simplistic and problematic way to modify main query of … Read more
The solution was surprisingly simple as you can see below. Thanks for your help @Sally CJ and @Tom J Nowell. <?php get_header(); ?> <!– PAGE INTRODUCTION –> <div class=”container”> <h1 class=”page_title”><?php the_archive_title(); ?></h1> </div> <!– PAGE CONTENTS –> <div class=”container”> <div class=”row”> <!– POSTS –> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) … Read more
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
