I am using loop-circleicon.php on my home page at the website listed below. I have it set to allow 6 articles per “page”. So for so good. However, not that I have gone past the original 6 articles, I see a pagination portion at the bottom of the widget that lists the pages “1,2,3,4,5 Next”
Hovering over those buttons shows me a link formatted like this: “http://www.sanctuaryhq.com/page/2/” which, when clicked, merely cycles the page and shows back up at the front page, no 404 error, no second page, nothing, This is very confusing.
Widget settings a follows:
Title: Blank
Template: Circle Icons
Post Type: post
Posts per Page: 6
Order by: Date
Order: Descending
Sticky Posts: Ignore Sticky
More Link: Checked
Additional: Blank
Can anyone help me with this? My site is effectively broken at this point.
Hi Steven
Sorry to hear about the hassle. Please try the following:
1. Try deleting the second Post Loop widget on the page, so test the home page with only one Post Loop widget activated, see if that resolves the pagination problem.
2. If the above doesn’t resolve then de-activate all non-SiteOrigin plugins, do this at once. Re-test. If the issue resolves then re-activate your plugins one by one, after each activation re-check the problem.
Neither one worked. The second loop was for testing, after the discovery of the pagination issue.
Disabling ALL plugins other than the SiteOrigin ones did not correct the issue. With everything disabled, the pagination still points to “http://www.sanctuaryhq.com/page/2/” which does not exist but does not generate a 404 error.
Thanks for the info. Please try de-activating all non-SiteOrigin plugins again, do so at once. Then head to Settings > Permalinks and hit Save, then re-check.
Nope, still didn’t fix it and each time you have me do this I have to reauthorize half of my plugins.
Sorry to hear that didn’t help. It might be a good idea to test regular pagination and see if that’s working. To test you could create a page, name it anything and set the Page Template in the right column drop down to Blog. If you only have a few posts on the site, set Settings > Reading > Post Per Page to a small number, like 2 or 3. That should then provide pagination on the blog page. That test will let us know if regular pagination is working.
Sorry for the hassle, not a problem we’ve seen with this Page Builder widget before.
Yes, pagination works just fine doing that as shown here:

Thanks for the feedback. Please can you drop us a mail on [email protected] with a set of temporary login details and we’ll take a look. Please can you link back to this thread in that email, so we can see what’s what. Please also advise which plugins required re-activation after being de-activated.
Thanks again.
I was able to track thjis down and fix it. More like I stumbled across the fix while working on something else. Bottom line is this issue:
http://support.surniaulula.com/support/solutions/articles/1000160647-how-do-i-fix-my-theme-s-front-page-pagination-
The plugin NGFB apparently breaks paginaiton on some themes and the fix is to add this code:
add_filter( 'redirect_canonical','custom_disable_redirect_canonical' ); function custom_disable_redirect_canonical( $redirect_url ){ if ( is_front_page() ) $redirect_url = false; return $redirect_url; }to your functions.php file
Doing that fixed it and pagination is now working on my site using the Circle Icon post loop.
Super, really glad to hear you found a fix here. Thanks so much for sharing it with everyone.
