How to do paging in the loop?

Question

I used single.php for this code:

<?php $categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
if ($categories) {
    $category_ids = array();
    foreach($categories as $individual_category) $category_ids[] = $individual_category->term_id;
    $args=array(
        'category__in' => $category_ids,
        'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
        'showposts'=>6, //Gösterilecek yazı adeti
        'caller_get_posts'=>1
    );
    $benzer = new wp_query($args);
    if( $benzer->have_posts() ) {
        while ($benzer->have_posts()) {
            $benzer->the_post();
    ?>
    <div class="urundetaykutu">
        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    </div>  
    <?php } } wp_reset_query(); }?>

This code working, but I want to use pagination in the loop.

Answer 1

Try adding

'paged' => get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1, // this will get the right posts for the current page (i.e. if the user loads www.domain.com/blog/page/2 directly)
'posts_per_page' => '6'

to your $args and delete showposts

showpostsis deprecated.

From the Codex reference for WP_Query:

showposts (int) - number of posts to show per page. Deprecated as of Version 2.1 in favor of 'posts_per_page'.

Add Pagination links:

<?php next_posts_link( '&larr; Older posts' ); ?>
<?php previous_posts_link( 'Newer posts &rarr;' ); ?>
