The issue I am having is I have created a separate new blog page on its own page template being called blog.php, I have pulled 5 posts into each page and the first page work great and link to the single posts that they are attached too. When I try to add wp-pagenavi into my nav-below I run into issues. What is happening is I will click to go the next page and it changes the url, but the posts remain the same as before, when it should be switching them to the next set. I don't know if you can use wp-pagenavi outside of index.php but if anyone can let me know what I am doing wrong here and why I continue to get the same posts that would be awesome and greatly appeciated. I have one of my blogs on blog.php and that is the file I am trying to get to work. I have posted that below. Please let me know what I can do thank you!
