The problem I am having is with pagination - when you go to Page 2 of the results, it is still showing the first 10 posts and you can never access the next 10 posts. In addition, it is showing pagination based on 3 posts per page which is what I have in the Reading settings in wp-admin so it is listing 7 pages, even though I only have 24 posts.</p> <p>What's more, if I set ('posts_per_page=-1') I get all the posts on one page but the pagination is still there.</p> <p>How can I adjust this search loop to return a specified number of posts and then paginate the remaining results? </p>
