Wordpress pagination (next_posts_link) on custom wp_query not showing
pagination, wordpress
Solution
The reason why your solution works is because you are overwriting the global $wp_query variable. A better solution would be adding $query->max_num_pages to next_posts_link().
next_posts_link('« Older Entries', $query->max_num_pages)
Where $query is the name of your newly created object. This way you preserve $wp_query.
Problem
Similar questions have been asked, but I cannot figure out what I miss! I have a static page for custom type fields, similar to the regular archive or category page, but I cannot get pagination working. If I go manually to page 2 (i.e. adding to the link .../page/2) I get the "Newer posts" link, but not on the first page for older ones! next_posts_link() just seems not to exist (no div injected or anything) Here is my code: ``` $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; $query_args = array ( 'post_type' => 'bb_articoli', 'meta_key' => 'bb_data-pubblicazione', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'order' => 'DESC', 'posts_per_page' => 2, //for testing purposes 'paged' => $paged, 'meta_query' => array( array('key' => 'bb_fonte-pubblicazione', 'value' => 2, 'compare' => '=' ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query($query_args); if ( $query->have_posts() ) : while ( $query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); get_template_part( 'content' , get_post_format()); endwhile; next_posts_link(); previous_posts_link(); else : get_template_part( 'content', 'none' ); endif; ``` Any help is greatly appreciated.
