You could drop a copy of one of your category template files in the WordPress pastebin and post the pastebin url here. Perhaps someone will be able to spot the problem and suggest a solution.
Try replacing:
$featuredPosts->query('showposts=12&cat=5111');
with:
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array($featuredPosts->query('posts_per_page=12&cat=5111&paged=' . $paged);
Thanks for the reply esmi.
The replacement didn’t work, it was really odd:
First try – first page had php error
Second try – first page worked fine, php error when testing second page.
Third try – first page worked fine, second page replicated first page like the original problem.
All I did was replace the line recommended 3 different times. I’ve never seen this before, generally if there is an error once, there will always be an error but I had 3 different situations.
I went ahead and uploaded the edited file and uploaded to pastebin.
Any help would be appreciated. I’ve never had an inconsistent issue like this before, but I believe that I’m not doing anything wrong.
I know that my pageviews are probably suffering because no one can actually view the archive of a category.
Thanks again.
I guess it would help if I linked the pastebin file :0

Thanks,
I hate it when I find a similar post with no solution so here it goes:
Removed the $featuredPosts variable all together and went with a standard loop pulling from a category, I added your $paged code you recommended and got this:
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('posts_per_page=12&cat=5400&paged=' . $paged); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
Thanks for the help, it worked for me.
