wordpress pagination links problems - pagination

I'm trying to implement pagination in a custom WP-Query. The pagination is done correctly, but the links are wrong. If I have, for example, 10 posts and 8 posts per page, I have a page 1 with 8 posts (OK for now), a page 2 with 2 posts (still OK), but I can access a page 3 with 0 posts, and so on...
I'm trying also to implement wp_navi an I'm having an infinite navigation menu for only 10 posts.
The code used is the following:
<?php next_posts_link('« Previous') ?>
<?php previous_posts_link('Next') ?>
<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$featuredPosts = new WP_Query("category_name=Destacadas&paged=".get_query_var('paged'));
while ($featuredPosts->have_posts()) : $featuredPosts->the_post(); ?>
<div class="post_container">
<?php include ('post-info-reduced.php'); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Have you had this problem?

I've found the solution for using it with WP-PageNavi:

Pagination page/2 not found for a category but works for tags?

This drives me nuts, i am trying to list post based on a category an on a tag. Now for tag i have got it working. Using archive.php but for the category, using categroy.php, it doesn't work for page/2???.
I have already check the permalinks and indeed if i use the default settings both mydomain.com/blog/page/2 and mydomain.com/tag/green/page/2 work. But turning on /%category%/%postname%/ and the mydomain.com/blog/page/2 gives a page not found???
Here's the main part of category.php (which is the same as archive.php)
global $wp_query;
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts(array(
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'paged' => $paged
));
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
// Include the page content template.
get_template_part('partials/content', 'loop');
// End the loop.
endwhile;
?>
<!-- Pagination -->
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
</div>
<?php if ($wp_query->max_num_pages > 1) : $paged = intval(get_query_var('paged')); ?>
<div class="older"><?php next_posts_link(__('Older entries', 0)); ?></div>
<!--test this one-->
<?php if ($paged > 1) : ?>
<div class="newer"><?php previous_posts_link(__('Newer entries', 0)); ?></div>
<?php endif;
endif;
?>
<!-- End Pagination -->
The codex contains the following important note on query_posts:
Note: This function isn't meant to be used by plugins or themes. As explained later, there are better, more performant options to alter the main query. query_posts() is overly simplistic and problematic way to modify main query of a page by replacing it with new instance of the query. It is inefficient (re-runs SQL queries) and will outright fail in some circumstances (especially often when dealing with posts pagination). Any modern WP code should use more reliable methods, like making use of pre_get_postshook, for this purpose.
If you follow that instruction, you should be able to fix your problem yourself

Wordpress is showing paginated pages that doesn't exist

I have a page template where I run a WP_Query
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('post_type=post&posts_per_page=4'.'&paged='.$paged);
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
The issue I'm facing is that if you go to the site /page/100 it will show the template and it's not going to a 404 when It should.
My blog page under reading settings is another page and this is a custom template I'm doing.
I have read this post https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/46116/non-existing-blog-pages-are-not-redirected-to-404 and tried all the functions and none of them work.
I also spent 3 hours searching on google without being able to find a workaround.
You are creating a new WP Query. So I think you have to reset the wp_postdata.
WP Codex offers sample code. You could try something like
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('post_type=post&posts_per_page=4'.'&paged='.$paged);
if( ($wp_query->have_posts() ) :
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
// Do here something with the post
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata(); // At the end reset your query
endif;
While using WP_Query for displaying posts list you need to check by yourself if they are any posts for current page. Below is example code from Wordpress docs
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<!-- Add the pagination functions here. -->
<!-- Start of the main loop. -->
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- the rest of your theme's main loop -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<!-- End of the main loop -->
<!-- Add the pagination functions here. -->
<div class="nav-previous alignleft"><?php next_posts_link( 'Older posts' ); ?></div>
<div class="nav-next alignright"><?php previous_posts_link( 'Newer posts' ); ?></div>
<?php else : ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
Replace " _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); "
with own error or function displaying 404 error.
Edit: Above code is of course example for Main Loop. In your particular case you need to call $wp_query->have_posts() and make sure it not evaluates to false. If it does display 404 error.
for example:
if(!$wp_query->have_posts()) {
echo "404";
}
Or if you want server respond with HTTP code 404 instead of 200 then you should try something like this:
if(!$wp_query->have_posts()) {
status_header(404);
nocache_headers();
include( get_404_template() );
exit;
}

How to display content from a child page within a hierarchial custom post type?

I have a hierarchical custom post type. It has 6 pages, and each page has 3 child pages.
When viewing one of the 6 pages, I need to display content (a title and excerpt) from each of its 3 child/descendent pages.
Here is my current loop:
<?php if(have_posts()):?>
<?php query_posts('&post_type=how-we-do-it&post_parent=0');?>
<?php while(have_posts()):the_post();?>
<?php $color = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'pointb_how-we-do-it-color', true ); ?>
<div class="section">
<div class="title">
<h1 style="background:<?php echo $color;?> !important;">
<?php the_title();?>
</h1>
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="how-<?php the_slug();?>">the summary here. and here is child content:
<div class="child">child content should be here.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile;?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php endif;?>
I have tried numerous different approaches to try and accomplish what I need, but none of them work within the custom post type. Here are some of the various methods I have tried:
I tried the suggested code on this page: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-child-pages-title-amp-content-on-parent-page
I also tried the following code:
$pageChildren = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID');
if ( $pageChildren ) {
foreach ( $pageChildren as $pageChild ) {
echo '<h2>'. $pageChild->post_title.'</h2>
';
if ($pageChild->post_excerpt){
echo ''.$pageChild->post_excerpt.'
';
}
}
}
I've tried a number of other methods that I didn't bother saving, so I can't show them.
I'm at the point where I am getting frustrated with this and thought I'd throw it out here to get some fresh perspectives.
The issue with your first sample is that you call if(have_posts()) before you reconstruct the query.
The second sample has a dangling ' after $post->ID.
Try this:
$pageChildren = get_posts( 'post_type=how-we-do-it&post_parent='.$post->ID );
Based on some comments from MarZab above, I got thinking about the post ID.
I made the following tweak to the block of code I originally posted above, and now it works perfectly:
$pageChildren = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID');
Is now:
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$pageChildren = get_posts( 'post_type=how-we-do-it&echo=0&post_parent='.$post_id );

How to theme exposed filter items in views - drupal 6

I'm attempting to put a bit of style on a specific set of exposed filters on a view that I have created.
The view is called user_search and so I have created views-exposed-form--user-search.tpl.php and that didn't work (all it did was remove the exposed filters but still displayed the view). views-exposed-form--user-search--page.tpl.php also got the same results.
Even if it did work, I still don't know what to put there to get the form to show up, just so that I can add styles or container divs.
print drupal_render($form); did not work.
I found a solution after a lot of digging.
First, you have to find the views-exposed-form.tpl.php file which should be located in sites/all/modules/views/theme/ folder. We're using the acquia stack so it was located in the vendor/ folder.
Copy this to themes/YOUR-THEME/ folder and rename it to views-exposed-form--your-view-name.tpl.php
If you only want to effect a specific display of your view name it to views-exposed-form--your-view-name--display.tpl.php
You can then use the existing framework to edit it as you see fit. Here's an example.
<?php
// $Id: views-exposed-form.tpl.php,v 1.4.4.1 2009/11/18 20:37:58 merlinofchaos Exp $
/**
* #file views-exposed-form.tpl.php
*
* This template handles the layout of the views exposed filter form.
*
* Variables available:
* - $widgets: An array of exposed form widgets. Each widget contains:
* - $widget->label: The visible label to print. May be optional.
* - $widget->operator: The operator for the widget. May be optional.
* - $widget->widget: The widget itself.
* - $button: The submit button for the form.
*
* #ingroup views_templates
*/
?>
<?php if (!empty($q)): ?>
<?php
// This ensures that, if clean URLs are off, the 'q' is added first so that
// it shows up first in the URL.
print $q;
?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="views-exposed-form">
<div class="views-exposed-widgets clear-block">
<?php foreach($widgets as $id => $widget): ?>
<div class="views-exposed-widget">
<?php if (!empty($widget->label)): ?>
<label for="<?php print $widget->id; ?>">
<?php print $widget->label; ?>
</label>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if (!empty($widget->operator)): ?>
<div class="views-operator">
<?php print $widget->operator; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="views-widget">
<?php print $widget->widget; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<div class="views-exposed-widget">
<?php print $button ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
When in doubt about how to theme a part of a page, install the Theme Developer module. It will allow you to see what theme file or function is currently outputting a specific area of the page, as well as what files or functions can be used to override it.

Different template for different categories in Magento

I want to display subcategories under artist category in one layout and design and other categories in another layout and design in Magento 1.4.1.1.
In the web admin, under Manage Categories, select the categories you want to be different and navigate to the Custom Design tab. You can enter layout updates or select alternative skin/themes.
The best way to do this is to use static blocks.
1) Create phtml file in /template/catalog/navigation
<?php $_categories = $this->getCurrentChildCategories(); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($_categories as $_category): ?>
<?php if($_category->getIsActive()): ?>
<li>
<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_category->getName()) ?>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
2) Create static block "Subcategories"
{{block type="catalog/navigation" template="catalog/navigation/subcategory.phtml"}}
3) Assign static block for needed category ("Display Settings" tab -> Display Mode = Static block only and select CMS Block "Subcategories")
