I'm working with a custom post type / custom taxonomy combo and I can't seem to get pagination to work properly. I'm wanting to add an infinite scroll to the page, however I can't even get pagination to even show up in order to get the infinite scroll piece working.
Below is my loop:
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'shows', // it's default, you can skip it
'posts_per_page' => '3',
'order_by' => 'date', // it's also default
'paged' => $paged,
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'show',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array(
'anger-management'
)
)
)
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
<div class="archive-item" style="background: url(<?php echo get('archive_image'); ?>) center center no-repeat;"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<div class="archive-item-content">
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<p><?php echo get('location'); ?> - <?php echo get('date'); ?></p>
</div></a>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
Obviously, I've put in a pagination script after the endwhile, however it still does not work; I've even tried a plugin just to see if it'd work, and it didn't.
I'm using the HTML5blank theme to build from, so here's the pagination script that comes built in:
function html5wp_pagination()
{
global $wp_query;
$big = 999999999;
echo paginate_links(array(
'base' => str_replace($big, '%#%', get_pagenum_link($big)),
'format' => '?paged=%#%',
'current' => max(1, get_query_var('paged')),
'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
));
}
I'm not sure if I need to write a new one or not; to be honest, I'd prefer just to have basic "next posts" or "previous posts" links, but regardless, I just can't get the pagination to work AT ALL.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I guess I'm starting to wonder if I need to set some parameters for this type of loop that helps set up the pagination? But I can't seem to figure that out if that's the case.
