Update! There is a much better method for accomplishing this. Just skim the comments on the post to see how many people have had issues with this outdated method. Learn more about creating custom category templates.

Nevermind Tammy, I just used query_posts instead and pagination is working now:

11, ‘paged’ => get_query_var(‘paged’) ) );
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Hi Tammy, thanks for this. I’ve put it all together and it appears to work (including Wp-PageNavi) but when I click on ‘older entries’ or a different page number I get the same list of posts. The PageNavi author has a page saying that this is a symptom of an incorrect usage of query_posts: http://scribu.net/wordpress/wp-pagenavi/right-way-to-use-query_posts.html – but you aren’t using query_posts!

Any thoughts?

Great Idea. Just one issue I’m having. The pagination is set to only show posts in the same category but on the page it shows links to other pages and not posts in the same category.

Any idea on what I can do to ensure pagination only display links to previous and next posts in the same category and not to PAGES which are not posts?

Thanks
