OK, so i'm messing with Custom Taxonomies for the second time and in both instances i've run into this problem where using the posts_per_page argument in either a query_posts or WP_query scenario.. basically, if i set a custom limit on posts per page, clicking the "next" or "previous" buttons give me 404 errors .. doesnt matter if i use a custom permalink structure or any of the defaults, same result. the only way ive successfully managed to control number of posts on a page is through the Reading Settings in the Dashboard.
i've found quite a few mentions of this same problem but have yet to find a working solution aside from above mentioned Dashboard settings:
wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-taxonomy-navigation-problem-paged1-works-paged2-doesnt?replies=8#post-2093828
core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16168
wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-taxonomies-with-pagination-getting-404-page-not-found?replies=6#post-2093414
so, here's the site im working on with the problem:
http://www.purekreation.com (click on any of the sections in the nav and then try to navigate to previous pages at the bottom)
and here's my current (non-working) code:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="art">
<?php global $query_string, $paged, $wp_query, $wp;
$count = 0;
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
echo $paged;
?>
<?php $term = get_query_var('term'); echo $term;?>
<?php $tax = get_query_var('taxonomy'); echo $tax;?>
<?php
$taxquery=new WP_Query(array('tax_query'=>array(array('taxonomy'=>$tax,'field'=>'slug','terms'=>$term)),'post_type'=>'art','showposts'=>1,'paged'=>$paged));
while ( $taxquery->have_posts() ) : $taxquery->the_post(); ?>
<?php $genre = wp_get_post_terms($post->ID, 'genre');?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('post-'.$genre[0]->slug.' post-art');?>>
<h3 class="work-title"><?php the_title();?></h3>
<?php get_the_10(); ?>
<div class="the-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<footer class="COL-10 clear">
<small class="post-meta"><?php $terms = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'genre', 'Portfolio: ', ' ', '' ); echo $terms;?></small>
<small class="post-meta">Project: <?php the_tags( '',', ','');?></small>
<small class="post-meta">Client: <?php $meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'client', true); if($meta==''){echo 'Self';}else{echo $meta;}?></small>
<small class="post-meta right"><a href="#masthead">Back to top</a></small>
<div class="dash"></div>
</footer>
</div><!-- #post-## -->
<?php $count++; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div id="nav-below" class="pagination">
<?php if($taxquery->max_num_pages>1){?>
<?php
for($i=1;$i<=$taxquery->max_num_pages;$i++){?>
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/?<?php echo $tax;?>=<?php echo $term;?>&<?php echo 'paged=' . $i; ?>" <?php echo ($paged==$i)? 'class="selected"':'';?>><?php echo $i;?></a>
<?php
}
if($paged!=$taxquery->max_num_pages){?>
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/?<?php echo $tax;?>=<?php echo $term;?>&<?php echo 'paged=' . $i; //next link ?>">></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php // Reset Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();
// End the loop. Whew.?>
</div><!-- end #art -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
im not the most skilled PHP guy but i know a decent amount about Wordpress and this problem has me literally losing sleep over it. if anyone has some input on this matter, it'd be GREATLY appreciated.
