Finding current page number in Wordpress

php, wordpress

Solution

Not near a wordpress system to test this out at the mo, but you should be able to use:

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

(obviously defaulting to 1, if it has not been sent through).

Problem

I have added the following custom loop in my Wordpress template: ``` $args = array( 'category__not_in' => array($featured_cat->term_id), 'posts_per_page' => 10, 'post__not_in' => array($recent_post) ); query_posts($args); ``` For pagination to work, I guess I need to pass another arg `paged` with the current page number. What is the way to get the current page number in Wordpress?
