slaterino Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi, I'm having a real problem with one of my Wordpress category pages. I use a 3-column grid system on this page and just recently I needed to add an advert to the page, so I thought I would do one query at the top with the first two posts, then add the advert to complete the row. Then I would use a second query underneath creating the posts using the traditional grid system with 3 in each row. This is working well except for the pagination, which adds the two items form the first query everytime it paginates. You can see this in action at http://soundsandcolours.com/music/ Does anyone know what I can do to make the Pagination ignore the first query, and just keep running the second query instead. I've included all of my code below: 1st Query: $query_string; $musiccat_posts = new WP_Query($query_string."&posts_per_page=2"); if ($musiccat_posts->have_posts()): $musiccatIDs = array(); while($musiccat_posts->have_posts()):$musiccat_posts->the_post(); $musiccatIDs[] = get_the_ID(); 2nd Query: $paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? absint( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) : 1; global $moremusiccat_query; $music_args = array( 'cat' => 1841, 'posts_per_page' => 15, 'post__not_in' => $musiccatIDs, 'paged' => $paged ); $moremusiccat_query = new WP_Query( $music_args ); while ($moremusiccat_query -> have_posts()) : $moremusiccat_query -> the_post(); ?> Pagination Code: $big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer echo paginate_links( array( 'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ), 'format' => '?paged=%#%', 'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ), 'total' => $moremusiccat_query->max_num_pages ) ); Any help would be massively appreciated!
