Pagination Mess

[vajrasar]

1> Registered a CPT 'events'

2> created archive-events.php

Problem - There are total 13 posts as published. It should show 5 posts on page one (i.e. on mysite.com/events), then 5 on page 2 and remaining 3 posts on page 3. But instead it shows 404 on page 3.

I first used this custom query code, but same problem ->

But then I thought, that maybe I should try this code, still the same problem ->

Any idea on why is this happening? Thanks a ton.

Link to your site please.

The best way to create a CPT is to use the code from the Executive Pro theme.

Instead of a template file for the Events archive, why not just add this in functions.php?

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'sk_events_archive' );
function sk_events_archive( $query ) {

	if( $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && $query->is_post_type_archive( 'events' ) ) {
		$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '5' );
	}

}

Tested and working fine. I used Types plugin to create the CPT.

@Sridhar: Thanks for this, it was something new that I learnt.

Now, this dosen't work on our site. But I think I got the grip on the 'problem'.

It's that - If I keep number of posts blank (dont provide any parameter) then it takes the default sitewide value of 10 posts per page and works fine. But as soon as I want to alter it to 5 or 6 posts per page, the problem arises.
