Timber: Pagination for custom post types 404-ing. Used docs as reference.

[zackspear]

Using the example detailed here in the documentation on pagination, I'm running into a 404 issue when using the pagination links. So going to any page but the first page 404s.

The custom post type that I'm working with is in_the_news of which I need 9 on each page. Below is the code that I'm using:

in-the-news.php

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: In The News
 *
 * @package  WordPress
 * @subpackage  Timber
 * @since    Timber 0.1
 */

    global $paged;
    if (!isset($paged) || !$paged){
        $paged = 1;
    }
    $context = Timber::get_context();
    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'in_the_news',
        'posts_per_page' => 9,
        'paged' => $paged
    );
    /* THIS LINE IS CRUCIAL */
    /* in order for WordPress to know what to paginate */
    /* your args have to be the defualt query */
        query_posts($args);
    /* make sure you've got query_posts in your .php file */
    $context['posts'] = Timber::get_posts();
    $context['pagination'] = Timber::get_pagination();
    Timber::render('in-the-news.twig', $context);

The only things that I've changed from the example is the post_type, posts_per_page, & the twig file to render everything to.

I've search through the issues, open & closed, trying a number of things. But I'm at a wits end, as I'm really just a front-end dev building out a CMS. This is pretty much the only issue I have left to fix as I've got to launch the site tomorrow so help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Well I figured it out by pure chance of falling on the Routes documentation.

Had to create a custom route for the custom post type. Might want to mention that in the pagination documentation.

Added the following code to functions.php

Timber::add_route('in-the-news/page/:pg', function($params){
    $query = 'posts_per_page=9&post_type=in_the_news&paged='.$params['pg'];
    Timber::load_template('in-the-news.php', $query);
});
