Query_posts page navigation problem (3.2.1)

I think you are halfway there… you assign the proper stuff to $paged

Do you now include the $paged variable into your query posts?

(also, page should be paged, and I think your parenthesis might be wacky — I believe you use ‘page’ on page templates, else ‘paged’)

<?php
$paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1 );
 query_posts( array(
      'posts_per_page' => 5,
      'cat' => '10',
      'paged' => $paged
 ));
?>

or simply

<?php query_posts( array(
      'posts_per_page' => 5,
      'cat' => '10',
      'paged' => ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1 ),
 ));
?>

My little writeup about using it

The codex for query posts links here

(Queries aren’t my strength), but reading that article, all I can suggest is to change both ‘page’ to ‘paged’

<?php $paged = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1; ?>

In that line, as your file is an index, and not a page

You can give your permalinks a reset by going to the settings->permalinks page and hitting save. Worth a try! That has often cleared up 404 errors for me

right, but it doesn’t paginate

if you’d like, throw your code back up into a pastebin and report the link here. Maybe someone else can take a better look than me.

The array really does the same thing as the way your code is written

It’s cleaner, and easier to look at. Your code should provide the same functionality.
