Heh. This works - but *only* if you’re using the default permalinks. I’ve been trying to figure this out since 2.1.x. I’ve just upgraded to 2.5.1, and I’m still having issues. I can do this - but only if I have “pretty permalinks” shut off.

Got any ideas why? (But thanks for the tut - I’m one step further than i was when I started!)

I’m trying a lot of similar stuff to your more recent comments. I have a page I’m breaiking into two columns (using divs). One column shows the first 5 posts from a category, the other shows the next 5 (using offset). I wanted to know if this method of pagination will allow the next page to “pick up where I left off” and continue the two column format.

Otherwise… great code. It really helped in another situation.

@Dan,

I’m afraid not. I’ve never gotten paging to work on more than one loop since they all use the same global variable.

I’m working on a three loop theme, and I’m trying my hardest to get the next_posts_link to rotate all three loops. It’s driving me mad, because I can get it to work for two out of three, but not the last loop.

Any ideas?

The code:

thanks. this worked for me. however, is there a way to have page numbers inserted in between the “<>” tags? much like what is done here: http://www.inquirer.net/specia.....rchive.php ?

You, sir, are a genius. I’d been trying to wrap my noob programmer head around multiple loops for a bit with code pulled from multiple templates; your solution pretty much fixed my problems. Thank you!

Thanks for the code tip. However, if $wp_query->query('cat=X&showposts=5'.'&paged='.$paged) will get me everything from category X, how do I modify it to get posts that are in both category X and category Y?

Thanks! I have been googling around for quite some time now looking for a way to do this! I’m surprised this information was so difficult to come by.

Thanks Ronald, I look forward to seeing what you can come up with!

@John,
That’s odd. I haven’t tried an offset, but I know what you mean. Let me play around a bit and see if I can figure out what’s wrong.

How would you use this with an offset? For example ‘&offset=1′, so it doesn’t show the most recent 1 post. I tried usuing it as usual and it broke the navigation control

I implemented your example code on my locally hosted test blog and found that it worked well except for one thing. When I click the More link it advances the actual recently posted articles as well as the new list of recently posted article titles. I looked at your implementation at raproject and saw that it doesn’t do this. Any idea why mine behaves that way?
