I am attempting to use get_query_var to perform pagination however this is not on a static homepage its on a news page that is certainly not the main page.
Originally I thought it was my syntax with the query function, however my issue is that whether I use the standard query links or the pretty URL link setting, the get_query_var is not returning a page or paged value at all.
I did however try $_GET and that worked with the normal query string, but understandably this did not work. Any help would be appreciated.
