[wp-hackers] Pagination problem after updating to version 3.2.1

[Bill Erickson]

Could it be that your default $wp_query is using 10 posts per page (set in
Settings > Reading), but your custom query is using 5? When you load the 3rd
page WordPress goes to the database and looks for posts 21-30 and if there's
any found it will then load your template, which is querying 5 posts (so on
page 3 it's looking for 11-15). If you have less than 21 posts, it will
return a 404 before getting to your query.

Ways around this:
- Set the default posts_per_page to 5 in Settings > Reading
- Use hook pre_get_posts to set the default query to 5 posts per page in
certain instances (ex: if (is_category()) )
