Loop being strainge

Question

So I hacked together a function that does the following:

protected function _query_post($query){
    $original = $this->_wp_query;
    $wp_query = new WP_Query($query);

    if($wp_query->have_posts()){
        while($wp_query->have_posts()){
            $wp_query->the_post();

            $this->_title($this->_options);

            the_excerpt();
        }

        next_posts_link('« Older Entries');
        previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »');
    }

    $wp_query = $original;  
}

So it's not hard to tell what's going on - all were doing is displaying a list of posts that are queried. The query used here is:

'posts_per_page' => 20

This then created the following page (scroll down) with a a pagination at the bottom.

The problem is, try going through pages 1 - 5. The posts are all the same....At the bottom of the post I do a reset of the query.....

Any ideas?

Answer 1

do you have the current page number in your $query array?

for example:

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

$query = array( 'paged' => $paged );
