Pagination showing same posts from page 1 on all other pages

I’ve recently had a lot of help creating an upcoming events list (see here Showing upcoming events (including todays event)?), as a result my pagination using WP Pagenavi is broken.

At the moment, when you click on page 2 it just shows the same posts as page one. Although the URL does actually change to page/2 page/3 etc.

I have this in my functions.php file:

function filter_where( $where = '' ) {
    $where .= " AND post_date >= '" . date("Y-m-d") . "'";
    return $where;
}

add_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );

$query = new WP_Query(
    array(
        'post__not_in' => array(4269),
        'paged' => get_query_var('paged'),
        'post_type' => 'whatson',
        'exclude' => '4269',
        'post_status' => 'future,publish',
        'posts_per_page' => 20,
        'order' => 'ASC'
    )
);

remove_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );

My loop is then as follows:

<?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
// content
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop.  ?>
<?php if (function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi( array( 'query' => $query ) ); } ?>

  1. Finally solved this with:

    function my_filter_where( $where = '' ) {
        global $wp_query;
        if (is_array($wp_query->query_vars['post_status'])) {
    
            if (in_array('future',$wp_query->query_vars['post_status'])) {
            // posts today into the future
            $where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('now')) . "'";
            }
        }
        return $where;
    }
    add_filter( 'posts_where', 'my_filter_where' );
    

    And:

    <?php
    $wp_query = array(
            'post__not_in' => array(4269),
            'paged' => get_query_var('paged'),
            'post_type' => 'whatson',
            'exclude' => '4269',
            'posts_per_page' => 20,
            'order' => 'ASC',
            'orderby' => 'date',
            'post_status' =>array('future','published'));
    query_posts($wp_query);
    ?>
    
    <?php 
    if ($wp_query->have_posts()) {
        while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
            Content
        <?php endwhile; // end of the loop.
    } ?>
    
    <?php if (function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi( array( 'query' => $wp_query ) ); } ?>
    
  2. Do you want it for specific post or for all of them ? If you want general pagination you can make pagination links without plugins with this piece of code :

    <?php
     global $wp_query;
    $big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
    echo paginate_links( array(
     'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', get_pagenum_link( $big ) ),
     'format' => '?paged=%#%',
     'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
     'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
     ) );
     ?>
    

    Just add it to your index.php or archives.php and see the magic happens 🙂

  3. I am not sure what is going on with the rest of your code, but one thing to try that would be a simple test would be to use wp_reset_query() before your new WP_Query just to make sure that the query variables have not been modified.
