Adding pagination.

Hey Jack!

The posts_per_page parameter will limit how many posts appear, but it's the paged parameter that will enable/disable pagination.

Try this and let me know if it works:

<?php
$args = array (
        'post_type' => 'news',
        'posts_per_page' => 2,
        'paged' => $paged
);

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>   

How do you have your static homepage / blog post page setup?

Hmm, strange. So you're on your news page and you see everything properly. Then you click on next page and it goes to a different URL and uses a different template or does it just switch to using a different template but the correct URL?

The codex has a code snippet that provides reliable pagination and gives you a PHP call to enable pagination where and when you want it.

Here's the link - http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links

It's what I use when I want to paginate.

What is the URL you start on and what is the URL it redirects to?

Werid quick update I attempted the methods on my video page and it worked! So now to try and see what is going wrong on the news page! I'll update here later.

So I worked out that it is now to do with permalinks. When I used the default setting it works but with permalinks it breaks. Any ideas why?

I did try the reduce amount of blog posts but that didn't seem to work.

So after pretty much giving up I think I got it working but changing the name of the news post type and then switching it back now its working and will stay like that fingers crossed!

I've run into this issue before. Usually I just have to save my permalinks after I make a change, and everything is fine again.

Darn permalinks screw everything up.
