I am using get_posts and get_comments to build several loops on the page, at which I am having some issues in pagination.
I have the global posts per page option (Settings > Reading) set to 10, and this seems to vary the problem. As of now, I can easily get to Page 2 - http://dev.ashfame.com/author/ashfame/page/2/, but Page 3 returns a 404.
If I lower the global value, I get to have more paginated pages but not all (lesser number than how many there should be).
Update: I just tried setting my custom setting as 2 (and the global one too), and WordPress should paginate until page 4 (I have 7 items to show) but now it does but also page 5 & 6. 7 gives 404. Why? How do I troubleshoot this thing now?
Progress: @t31os helped me figure out that its the WP default query on the page which is setting up the pagination for that page. Now I can think of one way to kill the default WP query on that page (but how?) and then how would I further paginate the author.php page? Or is there any other way of doing it?
Current code:
<?php
$author_details = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
// Posts Per Page option
// $ppp = get_option('posts_per_page');
$ppp = 1; //custom setting, if you want to obey the global setting here, comment this line and uncomment the above line
if (!is_paged()) {
$custom_offset = 0;
} else {
$custom_offset = $ppp*($paged-1);
}
echo '<h1>Author ID : '.$author_details->ID.', Page : '.$paged.', Custom Offset : '.$custom_offset.'</h1>';
?>
<h2>Articles</h2>
<?php
$args = array(
'numberposts' => $ppp,
'offset' => $custom_offset,
'category' => 7,
'author' => $author_details->ID
);
$posts_data = get_posts( $args );
// print_r($posts_data);
if ( count( $posts_data ) > 0 ) {
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $posts_data as $post ) {
echo '<li><a href="'.get_permalink( $post->ID ).'">'.$post->post_title.'</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
} else {
echo '<p>No articles by this user</p>';
}
?>
<h2>Journals</h2>
<?php
$args = array(
'numberposts' => $ppp,
'offset' => $custom_offset,
'category' => 6,
'author' => $author_details->ID
);
$posts_data = get_posts( $args );
// print_r($posts_data);
if ( count( $posts_data ) > 0 ) {
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $posts_data as $post ) {
echo '<li><a href="'.get_permalink( $post->ID ).'">'.$post->post_title.'</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
} else {
echo '<p>No journals by this user</p>';
}
?>
<h2>Questions</h2>
<?php
$args = array(
'numberposts' => $ppp,
'offset' => $custom_offset,
'category' => 3, // parent category ID is enough
'author' => $author_details->ID
);
$posts_data = get_posts( $args );
// print_r($posts_data);
if ( count( $posts_data ) > 0 ) {
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $posts_data as $post ) {
$category_array = get_the_category( $post->ID );
$category_name = $category_array[0]->name;
$category_permalink = get_category_link( $category_array[0]->term_id );
echo '<li><a href="'.get_permalink( $post->ID ).'">'.$post->post_title.'</a>
<br />In: <a href="'.$category_permalink.'">'.$category_name.'</a><br />'.get_comments_number( $post->ID ).' Answers</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
} else {
echo '<p>No questions by this user</p>';
}
?>
<h2>Answers</h2>
<?php
$args = array(
'user_id' => $author_details->ID,
'number' => $ppp,
'offset' => $custom_offset,
'status' => 'approve'
);
$answers_list = get_comments( $args );
// print_r($answers_list);
if ( count( $answers_list ) > 0 ) {
$date_format = get_option( 'date_format' );
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $answers_list as $answer ) {
echo '<li>Answer: '.substr( $answer->comment_content, 0, 20 ).'..<br />'.date( $date_format, strtotime( $answer->comment_date ) ).'<br />Question: <a href="'.get_permalink( $answer->comment_post_ID ).'">'.get_the_title( $answer->comment_post_ID ).'</a></li>';

Using Ajax to paginate your queries
I've put together some code that will fetch your posts and comments via ajax using simple prev/next navigation via ajax.
1) Replace all the code you posted in your author.php with the following..
<?php $cat_settings = array( 'Articles' => 7, 'Journals' => 6, 'Questions' => 3 ); ?>
<?php do_action( 'author_ajax_catposts', $cat_settings ); ?>
2) Create a Javascript file in your theme's directory called authorposts.js and place the following code into that file.
jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
if( 'undefined' == typeof( aacVars ) )
return;
$('.aacnav').click(function() {
var r = $( $(this).attr('href') );
var a = $( $(this).attr('href') + '-ap' );
var c = this.className.split(' ');
if(
'undefined' == typeof( c ) ||
'undefined' == typeof( r ) ||
'undefined' == typeof( a )
)
return false;
var d = {
action: aacVars.posts_action,
_ajax_nonce: aacVars.nonce,
author: aacVars.author,
category: $(this).attr('href')
};
p = parseInt( a.text() );
c = c.pop();
switch( c ) {
case 'aacnext':
if( r.children('p.nomore').length )
return false;
d.page = p + 1;
break;
case 'aacprev':
if( p < 2 )
return false;
d.page = p - 1;
break;
default:
return false;
}
$.post( aacVars.ajaxpth, d, function( res ) {
if( '-1' == res ) {
alert( 'auth failed' );
return false;
}
$( r ).html( res );
$( a ).text( d.page );
});
return false;
});
$('.aacnavc').click(function() {
var r = $( '#aac-comments' );
var n = $( '#aac-comments-ap' );
var l = $(this).attr('href');
if(
'undefined' == typeof( n ) ||
'undefined' == typeof( r )
)
return false;
var d = {
action: aacVars.comments_action,
_ajax_nonce: aacVars.nonce,
author: aacVars.author
};
p = parseInt( n.text() );
switch( l ) {
case '#next':
if( r.children('p.nomore').length )
return false;
d.page = p + 1;
break;
case '#prev':
if( p < 2 )
return false;
d.page = p - 1;
break;
default:
return false;
}
$.post( aacVars.ajaxpth, d, function( res ) {
if( '-1' == res ) {
alert( 'auth failed' );
return false;
}
r.html( res );
$( n ).text( d.page );
});
});
});
3) Copy the following code into your theme's functions.php file.
class Author_Ajax_Cats {
