Pagination for my website seems to be showing the same results for each page. I believe this has something to do with me using multiple loops. I can’t seem to get it show different posts for any of the other pages that have been paginated, example: /page/2/ or /page/3/ and so forth.
Loop one:
<?php
global $do_not_duplicate;
$do_not_duplicate = array();
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=top-story&posts_per_page=1');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;?>
<div class="yl_bg_post main_content videos">
<div class="top_story"><p>Top Story</p></div>
<h2 class="title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content('<p class="more">More></p>'); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Loop two:
<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=small-story&posts_per_page=1');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;?>
<div class="more_break">
<?php
$perma = get_permalink();
echo "<a href='".$perma ."'>";
the_content("") . "</a>";
echo '<a href="' . $perma . '"><p class="more">More></p></a>';
$count++;
?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Final loop:
while (have_posts()==the_post()) {
if (in_array($post->ID, $do_not_duplicate)) {} ?>
<div class="yl_bg_post main_content videos">
<h2 class="title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content('<p class="more">More></p>'); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
Pagination:
<?php
global $wp_query;
$total_pages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
if ($total_pages > 1){
$current_page = max(1, get_query_var('paged'));
echo paginate_links(array(
'base' => get_pagenum_link(1) . '%_%',
'format' => 'page%#%',
'current' => $current_page,
'total' => $total_pages,
'prev_text' => '',
'next_text' => 'Next'
));
}
?>
What my website does is just display the same content for each page… I can’t seem to find a solution to this issue. Apologises if I’ve missed anything, if I have i will add it as soon as possible.
You need to pass the
paged
parameter into your query as well.You can use a function for pagination. This can be helpful!
