next page button does nothing – stuck in loop

[dmcleod87]

hi,

my next page button at the bottom of the posts appears to do nothing when clicked-

http://influencer.dylanmcleod.net.au/

in saying that it goes to - http://influencer.dylanmcleod.net.au/page/2/

however it's still the same posts. click it again and it reloads the page. any ideas on how to fix this? i had some work done on the site via tweaky.com however i didn't notice the issue until after the work was completed so i can no longer contact the developer.

thanks in advance!

Is your front page using a custom template, or widgets?

Just guessing here, but it sounds like your loop might be missing the paged argument.

hi summer,

page is a custom template. the 3 featured posts at the top are widgets. here is the code from the page template-

<?php
/* 
Template Name: Widget Template

Created for three featured widget section, by Iniyan-tweaky
*/
//Displaying posts on this page
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'iniyan_loop' );
/**
 * Remove default loop. Execute Custom Loop Instead.
 *
 * @author Greg Rickaby
 * @since 1.0.0
 */
function iniyan_loop() {
global $paged;

	 $args = (array(
		'order' => 'dsc',
		'order_by'=> 'title',
	 	'paged' => $paged,
		'cat'=>'-14,-15,-16',
	 	'posts_per_page' => 5
	));

genesis_custom_loop( $args );

}

//Featured Widgets
add_action('genesis_before_content', 'iniyan_template');
function iniyan_template() {

echo'<div id="tweaky-widgets">';

genesis_widget_area( 'featured-one', array(
       'before' => '<div class="featured-one">',
       'after' => '</div>',
   ) );
   

genesis_widget_area( 'featured-two', array(
       'before' => '<div class="featured-two">',
       'after' => '</div>',
   ) );
   

genesis_widget_area( 'featured-three', array(
       'before' => '<div class="featured-three">',
       'after' => '</div>',
   ) );

echo '</div>';

}

genesis(); // <- everything important: make sure to include this.

Also, what I think is worse is that your 'Home' button throws a 404 error. It seems to point to http://theinfluenceronline.com/

You would need to check your menu items and perhaps your permalinks.

I think your "order" parameter is wrong... it should be 'DESC' instead of 'dsc', but everything else in that loop should be fine.

Is this code in a home.php template, or are you using this in a static front page template?

thanks summer. updated the code but still doesn't work. i'm getting in touch with the developer via tweaky.com so hopefully he can fix it.

eamonmoriarty - i've got it pointing to http://theinfluenceronline.com/ as that is the live domain the site will eventually end up on.

[dmcleod87]

anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong here?

i tried contacting the developer i hired to implement this but he said because i signed off on the changes it's not his problem anymore. i only noticed the issue after i accepted the changes...
