I have a custom post type 'charters' and within my category.php page I have a loop pulling in 'charter' posts for the current category id. I have a custom pagination setup displaying page numbers when I click page 2 link, it goes to URL /page/2 which displays a 404 error. I can't figure out why I am getting the 404. If I adjust my posts per page the pagination updates and displays the correct number of pages but the links do not show up.
Category.php Code:
<?php $paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$product_args = array(
'post_type' => 'charters',
'posts_per_page' => 10, //the same as the parse_query filter in our functions.php file
'paged' => $paged,
'page' => $paged,
'cat' => $cat
);
$product_query = new WP_Query( $product_args ); ?>
<?php if ( $product_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<!-- the loop -->
<?php while ( $product_query->have_posts() ) : $product_query->the_post(); ?>
<article class="loop">
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class="content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
</article>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<!-- end of the loop -->
<!-- pagination here -->
<?php
if (function_exists( 'custom_pagination' )) :
custom_pagination( $product_query->max_num_pages,"",$paged );
endif;
?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php else: ?>
<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
Functions.php Code:
function prefix_change_cpt_archive_per_page( $query ) {
//* for cpt or any post type main archive
if ( $query->is_main_query() && ! is_admin() && is_post_type_archive( 'product' ) ) {
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '10' );
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'prefix_change_cpt_archive_per_page' );
function prefix_change_category_cpt_posts_per_page( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_main_query() && ! is_admin() && is_category( 'test-category' ) ) {
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'product' ) );
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '2' );
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'prefix_change_category_cpt_posts_per_page' );
function custom_pagination( $numpages = '', $pagerange = '', $paged='' ) {
if (empty($pagerange)) {
$pagerange = 2;
}
global $paged;
if (empty($paged)) {
$paged = 1;
}
if ($numpages == '') {
global $wp_query;
$numpages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
if(!$numpages) {
$numpages = 1;
}
}
$pagination_args = array(
'base' => get_pagenum_link(1) . '%_%',
'format' => 'page/%#%',
'total' => $numpages,
'current' => $paged,
'show_all' => False,
'end_size' => 1,
'mid_size' => $pagerange,
'prev_next' => True,
'prev_text' => __('«'),
'next_text' => __('»'),
'type' => 'plain',
'add_args' => false,
'add_fragment' => ''
);
$paginate_links = paginate_links($pagination_args);
if ($paginate_links) {
echo "<nav class='custom-pagination'>";
echo "<span class='page-numbers page-num'>Page " . $paged . " of " . $numpages . "</span> ";
echo $paginate_links;
echo "</nav>";
}
My Permalink Settings are set to "Post Name" I have a feeling this has something to do with rewrites but I can not figure out how to get the page urls to work correctly. An example of my categories are as follows:
/category/long-beach/
/category/san-diego/
