I am having the exact same problem for a couple of my clients. Did you ever get a response? I cannot find a solution to this.
Thanks
Miner, what version of WP (since this is a half year old thread)?
Currently running Version 2.0.3
(In that branch the latest is 2.0.8 – always good to upgrade: security etc.)
Did it ever work? Does it work if you switch to the default or classic theme?
It was a bug in the theme I was using (Pressrow) that was defining the number of posts to show on the main page by code. I got rid of that, and walla – it was working.
It works with classic theme, but it does not have the blog rooted at /blog
Site: http://skmurphy.com/blog/
Page 2: http://skmurphy.com/blog/page/2/
shows the same posts as page 1. It continues the paging until the end (clicking previous posts until on page 8), so I know the paging is working, but it is displaying only the first page of entries on every page.
I am confused by this:
It works with classic theme, but it does not have the blog rooted at /blog
Working measn it shows the right posts on page 2?
What do you mean by “not rooted”?
Ok, well for this theme, we have the blog accessed through a page called /blog. this is because the site has many other pages and the blog is a subsection of the site.
I think I found the offending code inside template blog.php (this is the template that the /blog page uses and it subsequently includes index.php), but I am not sure what to change it to.
<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog
*/
?>
<?php query_posts(‘cat=-0’); //gets all posts
load_template( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/index.php’); //loads index
?>
————————
The line: query_posts(‘cat=-0’);
is causing the problem and defeating the paging code I think.
I stopped reading when saw this:
Ok, well for this theme, we have the blog accessed through a page called /blog.
With Pages it will not work.
Well thanks anyway, I guess…
It appears that it DOES work under pages, just needed to pass on the paged variable on in the query mod. Changed one line:
query_posts(‘cat=-0&paged=’.$paged); //gets all posts and preserves paging
So it works 🙂
