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

Use get_query_var('paged') like this

 array($featured_cat->term_id), 'posts_per_page' => 10, 'post__not_in' => array($recent_post), 'paged' => $paged );
query_posts($args); 
?>
