I have a page on a Wordpress theme that I'm building that pulls in excerpts of custom posts, 10 per page.
Which posts it pulls in depends on what value is contained within the 'county' $_GET variable. For example, this page will pull in posts from the county 'Cheshire'

/directory/?county=Cheshire

The pagination nav appears correctly as there are more than 10 entries. However if I click 'next' I am taken to a new page

directory/page/2/?county=Cheshire

But this page displays the same entries that were on page 1! It does not display any posts after the 10th entry.


Then when I click 'previous' I am taken back to the first page (with the same results showing again).


Does anybody know what might be wrong? Is it not recommended passing $_GET variables in WordPress??

Quick update, the error can't be caused by the $_GET variable, if I remove it and add the county name as a parameter in query_posts() then I still have the same problem!

Here is the code I'm using:

PHP Code:

<?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * Template Name: Directory
 */
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="page">
    <div id="content">
        <?php get_search_form(); ?>
        <?php // if($_GET['county']) : ?>
            <h1>Companies in <?php echo $_GET['county']; ?></h1>
            <?php query_posts('post_type=company&meta_key=County&meta_value=Cheshire&orderby=title&order=ASC'); ?>
            <div id="directory-result">
                <?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
                    <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                        <div class="divide">
                            <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
                            <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                            <ul class="contact">
                                <li><?php echo_meta('Town / City'); ?></li>
                                <li><?php echo_meta('Telephone'); ?></li>
                                <li><a href="mailto:<?php echo_meta('Email'); ?>"><?php echo_meta('Email'); ?></a></li>
                                <li class="last"><a href="<?php echo_meta('Website'); ?>"><?php echo_meta('Website'); ?></a></li>
                            </ul>
                        </div>
                    <?php endwhile;    ?>
                    <div id="paginate">
                        <a id="link-top" href="#top"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/image/paginate-top.gif" alt="Back to Top" /></a>
                        <ul>
                            <?php posts_nav_link(' ', '<li><img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/image/paginate-prev.gif" alt="Previous Page" /></li>', '<li><img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/image/paginate-next.gif" alt="Next Page" /></li>'); ?>
                        </ul>
                    </div>
                    <?php else : ?>
                        <p>There are currently no companies registered in <?php echo $_GET['county']; ?>. If you own a business in this location then <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-admin">submit to our business directory for free</a> today!</p>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </div>
            <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
        <?php // endif; ?>
    </div><!--end content-->
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div><!--end page-->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Fixed it! Just had to add

 paged=' . $paged

to the end of my query_posts() parameters
