First, thank you all for the enormous amount of information posted about thematic. I am about to launch my first huge project with it and it has been a great learning experience and success.

I haven't been able to find information regrading pagination of a custom category loop.

I have removed the original loop
```
function remove_categoryloop() {
    remove_action('thematic_categoryloop', 'thematic_category_loop');
}
add_action('init', 'remove_categoryloop');
```
Added a custom loop
```
function my_categoryloop() {

foreach(get_the_category() as $category) {
$cat = $category->cat_ID; }

    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    query_posts("paged=$paged&cat=' . $cat . '");

while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

      <?php endwhile;?>

<?php
}
add_action('thematic_categoryloop', 'my_categoryloop');
```
Without any extra pagination code I get the "older posts" link but every page after 1 is "not found". I also have added WP-pagenavi with no problem, but it did not help the solution.

Has anyone had success with this?

maybe try declaring the $post variable inside the function?

function childtheme_override_category_loop() {
global $post;
foreach(get_the_category() as $category) {
$cat = $category->cat_ID; }

    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    query_posts("paged=$paged&cat=' . $cat . '");

while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

      <?php endwhile;?>

<?php
}

however, i think that filtering pre_get_posts()
