Why is “/page/2/” not working?

2 Views

Finally got pagination to work with the below code, but now the pagination links to /videos/page/2/, which doesn’t exist. How do I get page 2 to work? 

<?php
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('post_type=videos&showposts=1'.'&paged='.$paged);

while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
  //display stuff
endwhile;           

php  wp_pagenavi();
 ?>

  1. Found the answer:

    After a looong day debugging thru wordpress core, I managed to solve
    this issue.

    Basicly, you CANT have a PAGE and a CUSTOM POST TYPE with the same
    name. If you do, the permalink rewrite rules will get confused and
    trigger a 404.

    A very simple solution I’m using is: The page that lists the custom
    post types is called in plural (eg. products) and the actual post type
    name is in singular (eg. product). So they dont conflict and it’s all
    fine.

    Done Done! Hope this will save people’s time.

  2. After a long time I found a solution for this issue (thanks to franzblog).

    If you are using version 4.2 or higher, you need to add the following lines in your functions.php file:

    add_filter( 'redirect_canonical', 'custom_disable_redirect_canonical' );
function custom_disable_redirect_canonical( $redirect_url ) {
    if ( is_paged() && is_singular() ) $redirect_url = false; 
    return $redirect_url; 
}

    Everything is working fine now!

  3. you CANT have a PAGE and a CUSTOM POST TYPE with the same name

    Maybe tree years ago it was impossible, but now you CAN.

    First, add this lines to $args into your post type:

    'has_archive' => false,
'rewrite'     => array(
                 'slug'       => 'your slug', // if you need slug
                 'with_front' => false,
                 ),

    Second, in functions.php add action:

    add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_basic');
function custom_rewrite_basic() {
    global $wp_post_types;
    foreach ($wp_post_types as $wp_post_type) {
        if ($wp_post_type->_builtin) continue;
        if (!$wp_post_type->has_archive && isset($wp_post_type->rewrite) && isset($wp_post_type->rewrite['with_front']) && !$wp_post_type->rewrite['with_front']) {
            $slug = (isset($wp_post_type->rewrite['slug']) ? $wp_post_type->rewrite['slug'] : $wp_post_type->name);
            $page = get_page_by_slug($slug);
            if ($page) add_rewrite_rule('^' .$slug .'/page/([0-9]+)/?', 'index.php?page_id=' .$page->ID .'&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');
        }
    }
}

function get_page_by_slug($page_slug, $output = OBJECT, $post_type = 'page' ) {
    global $wpdb;

    $page = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_name = %s AND post_type= %s AND post_status = 'publish'", $page_slug, $post_type ) );

    return ($page ? get_post($page, $output) : NULL);
}

    Don’t forget to flush rules in dashboard.

  4. One possibility is that, on the admin dashboard Settings -> Reading, if you have selected a Posts page, the option Blog pages show at most will conflict with your custom posts_per_page query in that page.

    So make sure that you either unselect the posts page, or make sure the posts per page matches the Blog pages show at most option in Settings -> Reading.

  5. After debugging a long time even I got the solution regarding pagination issue

    Basically, In WordPress, you can’t have a PAGE and a CUSTOM POST TYPE with the same name. If you do, the permalink rewrite rules will get confused and trigger a 404.
