WordPress Pagination Issue

above pagination repeating posts

Here’s how you can resolve this issue:

### Updated Code

$paged = isset($_POST['page']) ? intval($_POST['page']) : 1;

$args = array(
    'post_type'      => 'resource',
    'orderby'        => 'date',
    'order'          => 'DESC',
    'post_status'    => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 8,
    'paged'          => $paged, // Use 'paged' instead of 'offset'
);

// Remove 'offset' if 'paged' is used

### Explanation:
1. **`paged` vs `offset`**:
– Use `paged` to handle pagination with WordPress's default behavior. WordPress automatically calculates the correct offset for you based on `posts_per_page` and `paged`.
– Avoid combining `offset` with `paged`, as it can break the default pagination logic and cause repeated or skipped posts.

2. **`posts_per_page`**:
– Defines how many posts to display per page.
– Combined with `paged`, WordPress will fetch the appropriate posts for the given page.

3. **Removing `offset`**:
– The `offset` parameter manually skips posts, which can conflict with the `paged` parameter's calculation.

### Key Notes:
– If you need to use `offset` for custom logic, avoid using `paged` and manually calculate offsets.
– Use `paged` whenever you're integrating pagination with WordPress's built-in mechanisms, especially when working with `$wp_query` or `get_posts()`.

After making these changes, test the pagination to ensure it fetches the correct posts without repetition.
