   Hi,

   We need to display our news category posts on their own separate page. So I filtered the category from the main index as Chris described here:

   http://forums.themeshaper.com/topic/filtering-one-category-from-index-loop

   '
   //Remove news category from blog page to avoid double posting
   function no_news_in_loop() {
   //test if we are on the blog page
   if(is_home())

   {
   global $query_string;
   query_posts('cat=-3');
   }
   }
   add_action('thematic_indexloop', 'no_news_in_loop');
   '

   It works great, almost. It causes my pagination links to stop working. They load the appropriate page, i.e. blog/page/2/ and blog/page/3/, but the posts on every page are the same.

   I'm hoping there's a quick and easy fix for it? I just can't seem to locate one.

   I suppose I should also mention that I've put the news category posts on their own page by copying page.php, renaming in to page-news.php, and creating a page template with it. I then filter the index loop on that page with this function:

   '
   //filter news category posts to only show on news page template

   function news_in_loop () {
   if(is_page_template('page-news.php'))

   {
   query_posts( $query_string . "&cat=26");
   }
   }

   add_action('thematic_indexloop', 'news_in_loop');
   '

   This also works as needed, except for the same pagination issue.

   Thanks for your help.

   yup, b/c query_posts('cat=-3'); means you've killed the other bits in your query... that tell WP what paginated page you are on. so you should either include the pagination parts (which i think might be shown on the blog template... i dont remember)

   OR
   safely tack your args on to the query instead of completely replacing it

   global $wp_query;
   $args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( 'cat'=>-3 ) );
   query_posts( $args );

   which is straight out of the Codex
