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. * Thread Starter [himstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/himstudio/) * (@himstudio) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query_posts-page-navigation-problem-321/#post-2435454) * indeed, i added an array to my code…it does the same thing and the problem is still the same.. thank you Rev.Voodoo for your help 😉 * Thread Starter [himstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/himstudio/) * (@himstudio) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query_posts-page-navigation-problem-321/#post-2435455) * this is my index file [index.php](http://pastebin.com/sde7UcSt) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Query_posts page navigation problem (3.2.1)’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 11 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [himstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/himstudio/) * Last activity: [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query_posts-page-navigation-problem-321/#post-2435455) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
