paged broken with post_type set?

[Silkjaer]

querying a list of posts using index.php?post_type=post, pagination does not work. If paged is set, the view is marked as being "is_404".

To reproduce, go to index.php?post_type=post&paged=2

Can't reproduce using r14040.

Have you tried disabling all plugins and switching to the default theme?

Yes. All plugins deactivated, standard theme, no custom post types created through functions.php or anything. www.exampleblog.com/?post_type=post&paged=2 results in a 404.

My current WP revision is r14032

Researched a little further. When i do www.exampleblog.com/?post_type=post, the queryvar "p", and "page_id" is set to "1". The page with id 1 is the page i defined for being my blog static home page.

That id is defined on line 1489 of query.php:

$qv['page_id'] = get_option('page_on_front');

By commenting this, paging works again. So the bug is somehow related to WP thinking that ?post_type=post == is_home()?

Do you have home set to be a static page?

Also, does ?paged=2 work as expected?

Yes, home is a static page.

doing just ?paged=2 doesn't make any visual changes, since the page is static, but if i output the $wp_query i see that 'is_paged" is '1'.

'is_paged' is unset in the other case.

Having home set to a static page and then going to ?post_type=post&paged=2 doesn't really make sense.

Maybe if you had a (public) custom post type instead of 'post'.

I have 5 additional custom post types, and would like to present them differently. So actually the query in my case looks like ?post_type=review&paged=2

By adding custom post types to WP, you should expect you were able to list them as well.

You will be able to list them, just not on a static page (Unless that page has a loop in it).

You'll need to use /page-for-blog-posts/?post_type=review instead.

Your best bet, is to make a /review/ page, add a custom template with a proper loop in it.

I'm tempted to close this as invalid myself, due to the above comments and the fact its a static page.
