WordPress /page/2 not working

6 Views

When clicking the next_posts_link it just shows the same posts as on page 1. It appears to work fine on the category pages and it is only affecting the homepage (home.php)

Thanks!

  1. Don’t use query_posts, ever.

    The first 6 queries can be condensed to a single WP_Query:

    $args = array(
    'cat' => 3598,
    'posts_per_page' => 6
);

$featured = new WP_Query( $args );

if( $featured->have_posts() ){

    $featured->the_post();
    ?>
    your markup for the first post
    <?php

    $featured->the_post();
    ?>
    your markup for the second post
    <?php

    $featured->the_post();
    // etc..

    wp_reset_postdata();
}

    For the main query, use the pre_get_posts action with a function in your theme’s functions.php. This avoids wasting a query when you overwrite it in the template.

    function wpa_exclude_categories( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'category__not_in', array( 683, 3598 ) );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpa_exclude_categories' );

    You’ve now chopped 6 queries from every page load, and your pagination will magically work, do a little dance.

  2. <?php query_posts('cat=-683,-3598' . $paged); ?>

    This line should be 

    <?php query_posts('cat=-683,-3598&paged=' . $paged); ?>
