Jim,

I know your comment is old, did you ever fix your issue? I went through a couple pages on your pagination and didn’t see any duplicates. I like the design/layout of your site. If you still need help, let me know, gratis of course.

That’s a short and sweet introduction to WordPress’s loop. Every WordPress theme designer and developer needs to understand this concept.

In reply to Vladimir Djurovic. If there are no posts you will display something else (front-page, other page) so the user wont get an error. Therefore you need the if (+ else) statement.

Hi, David

this is great post. Very informative, I’ve enjoyed reading it. However, I have a question. Do we really need if statement here?

if ( have_posts() ) :
while ( have_posts() ) :

I would think that only while would be enough? If there are no posts, then have_posts() will return false, and while will complete immediately. Is this correct?

I’m not sure if I can format code here, so I’ve just used plain font :-).
