Finding current page number in Wordpress

Question

I have added the following custom loop in my Wordpress template:

$args = array(
    \'category__not_in\' => array($featured_cat->term_id),
    \'posts_per_         


        

Answer 1

Not near a wordpress system to test this out at the mo, but you should be able to use:

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

(obviously defaulting to 1, if it has not been sent through).
