Title: Nesting navigation within a $count loop Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Nesting navigation within a $count loop * Resolved [toxiccosmos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toxiccosmos/) * (@toxiccosmos) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nesting-navigation-within-a-count-loop/) * Hey everyone, * So, I’m using `$count` to display my index in variable post styles (full width latest post highlight followed by left and right columns for the rest). [http://victoriaarriaga.com/test_site/](http://victoriaarriaga.com/test_site/) * The code: [http://pastebin.com/mDw0jSF1](http://pastebin.com/mDw0jSF1) * The problem I’m having is that my navigation isn’t working correctly. It is currently displaying “Page 1 of 1” despite the fact that there are enough posts for two pages. * I’m currently using the plugin [WP-PageNavi](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-pagenavi/) for my navigation, but I believe my problem lies with the way I have it nested within the loop. I was hoping someone could take a look at it and let me know if that’s the case. * It might be important to note that I also intend to put the navigation at the bottom of the page as well, so any needed special pointers in accomplishing that would be appreciated. 🙂 * Thanks.

I’m not very proficient in PHP, so I’m really at a loss now and would really appreciate some advice from those of you more knowledgeable than I. * Thanks. * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nesting-navigation-within-a-count-loop/#post-4547637) * try at least to add the `'paged'` parameter to the query; * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pagination#Adding_the_.22paged.22_parameter_to_a_query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pagination#Adding_the_.22paged.22_parameter_to_a_query) * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pagination](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pagination) * Thread Starter [toxiccosmos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toxiccosmos/) * (@toxiccosmos) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nesting-navigation-within-a-count-loop/#post-4547638) * Thanks for the reply, alchymyth. * That’s what I thought I was doing (adding the `paged` parameter) with: `$the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page'=> 5, 'paged' => $paged ) );` * But I see my mistake. * I’m not sure I’ve implemented it properly, but I now have: * ``` 5, 'paged' => $paged ); $the_query = new WP_Query($args); ?> ``` * If I’m not mistaken, that defines `$paged` and then sets it to use in the query, right? Though I don’t see that it has fixed the issue I’m having. Page 2 still seems to be the same as the first. :/ * Thread Starter [toxiccosmos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toxiccosmos/) * (@toxiccosmos) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nesting-navigation-within-a-count-loop/#post-4547640) * Here is an update of the entire Index: [http://pastebin.com/SHZsLeJT](http://pastebin.com/SHZsLeJT) * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nesting-navigation-within-a-count-loop/#post-4547642) * try with ‘page’: * ``` 5, 'paged' => $paged ); $the_query = new WP_Query($args); ?> ``` * if that also won’t work, please post the full code of the template; [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code) * Thread Starter [toxiccosmos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toxiccosmos/) * (@toxiccosmos) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nesting-navigation-within-a-count-loop/#post-4547643) * That worked perfectly! Thank you! I’ve been banging my head for the past two weeks trying to figure it out and you’ve fixed it for me in two hours. 🙂 I really appreciate it.
