    I am not getting pagination to work with the following code, can anyone advise?

    <?php
  $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
  $args = array(
       'cat' => '5',
       'post_type' => 'post',
       'posts_per_page' => 6,
       'paged' => $page,
       );

 query_posts($args);

 while (have_posts()) { the_post();

?>
 <div class="project_item">
        <div class="dotted">
          <hr />
        </div>
        <div class="project_thumb"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php getCustomField('news_thumbnail'); ?>"  /></a></div>
        <div class="project_entry"><h4><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><?php getCustomField('news_title'); ?></a></h4>
          <?php getCustomField('news_excerpt'); ?>
          <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" class="readmore">Read more..</a> </div>
      </div>

      <?php

}

wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data

?>

    You have a mistake in your code :

    last line in your $args array :

    'paged' => $page,

    you should use :

    'paged' => $paged,

    I made that change and that doesn’t seem to help – any ideas?

    I thought
    'paged' => $page,

    was referencing the variable $page from this line below?

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

    Oh well…! Forgive me! :-))) I took the code from my own site, i tought you used the one in the codex. :-)))

    The only difference between the code I use and yours, is that you use the while loop in {}… With no endwhile…

    Try with this version :

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

--- Your stuff ---

<?php endwhile; ?>

    This is the only thing I can see offhands.

    Hm I did try this but no luck either. Do you might – I mean, if you could – posting the code that works from your site? Maybe I’m missing something…

    Thanks so much for your help on this!

    is my example….

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

    Okay, thanks, all of this works now.
    I just needed to add “previous” and “next” links after the loop (duh):

    <?php
	 $args = array(
				   'cat' => '5',
				   'post_type' => 'post',
				   'posts_per_page' => 6,
				   'paged' => ( get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1),
				   );

	query_posts($args);

while (have_posts()) : the_post();
 /* Do whatever you want to do for every page... */
?>
	<div class="project_item">
        <div class="dotted">
          <hr />
        </div>
        <div class="project_thumb"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php getCustomField('news_thumbnail'); ?>"  /></a></div>
        <div class="project_entry"><h4><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><?php getCustomField('news_title'); ?></a></h4>
          <?php getCustomField('news_excerpt'); ?>
          <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" class="readmore">Read more..</a> </div>
      </div>

      <?php

endwhile;
?><div class="navigation">
  <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_posts_link('&laquo; Previous') ?></div>
  <div class="alignright"><?php next_posts_link('More &raquo;') ?></div>
</div>
<?php
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data
?>
