I'm currently making a custom Wordpress template, and I'm using paginate_link to make page links at the bottom.

index.php

<?php

get_header();

?>
<div class="container">
  <div class="card-columns">
    <?php

    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

    $args1 = array(
      'post_type' => array('theory', 'tasks', 'tutorials', 'video', 'interactive'),
      'post_status' => 'publish',
      'posts_per_page' => 10,
      'paged' => $paged
    );

    $query = new WP_Query( $args1 ); ?>

    <?php if( $query->have_posts() ): ?>

      <?php while( $query->have_posts() ): $query->the_post();
      if (get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'external', true ))

      }
      else
      {
        $weblink = get_permalink();
      }
      ?>

      <div class="card">
        <div class="card-top"><?php
        $post_type = get_post_type_object( get_post_type($post) );
        echo strtoupper($post_type->labels->singular_name) . " ";

        ];
        $terms = wp_get_post_terms($post_id, $args ); foreach($terms as $term) {

          if ($term->parent == 0) //check for parent terms only
          echo " <a href='" . get_term_link($term, $args) ."'>" . $term->name . "</a>"; } ?></small></p>
        </div>
      </div>

      <?php
    endwhile;?>

    <div class="nav-previous alignleft"><?php
    $total_pages = $query->max_num_pages;

    if ($total_pages > 1){

      $current_page = max(1, get_query_var('paged'));

      echo paginate_links(array(
        'base' => rtrim( get_pagenum_link( 1 ), '/' ) . '%_%',
        'format' => '/page/%#%',
        'current' => $current_page,
        'total' => $total_pages,
        'prev_text'    => __('« previous'),

      ));
    }
    ?></div>



  <?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php

?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

But when I go to any other pages (from page 2 and so on) the title will show "Page not found", but the content is there and pagination is working.

To show the title I'm using this in functions.php:

add_theme_support( 'title-tag' );

function site_wp_title( $title, $sep ) {
    global $paged, $page;

    if ( is_feed() )
        return $title;

    // Add the site name.
    $title .= get_bloginfo( 'name' );

    // Add the site description for the home/front page.
    $site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
    if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
        $title = "$title $sep $site_description";

    // Add a page number if necessary.
    if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
        $title = "$title $sep " . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'it' ), max( $paged, $page ) );

    return $title;
}
add_filter( 'wp_title', 'site_wp_title', 10, 2 );

It seems like that wp_title() doesn't get its results from the custom wp_query(), cause it works with native posts.

• 1 First, are you not using the title-tag feature? Second, I tried your code on a Page (post type page) and wp_title() doesn't include "not found". And you should use rtrim( get_pagenum_link( 1 ), '/' ) to remove the extra slash. – Sally CJ Commented Aug 12, 2019 at 1:30
• What is $query? Is it your custom query? Where and how do you use it? – Krzysiek Dróżdż Commented Aug 12, 2019 at 5:24
• @SallyCJ I'm using it now. Problem is still there though. – janlindso Commented Aug 12, 2019 at 22:59
• @KrzysiekDróżdż Yes, it's a custom query. I have added it to my questions now. Hope it helps. – janlindso Commented Aug 12, 2019 at 23:01
• 1 @SallyCJ Found the error, and answered my own questions. It helped write my thoughts and discuss it. Thanks! – janlindso Commented Aug 15, 2019 at 17:41

1 Answer 1

Seems like the title was fetched before the query, and therefore didn't fetch the custom posts. Had to add a pre_get_posts to my functions.php to make it work:

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_get_posts' );

function my_get_posts( $query ) {

    if ( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() )
        $query->set( 'post_type', array('theory', 'tasks', 'tutorials', 'video', 'interactive') );

    return $query;
}
