Daniel, You're trying to do a find (for your Category data) and thinking you can then paginate the contained Posts it fetches, you cannot.
I advise you spend some time going through the book's pages on pagination to understand it: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1231/Pagination In essence you need a separate find for your category: $this->set('category', $this->Category->find('first', array( 'conditions' => array('Category.id' => $id), 'contain' => array( 'Post' => array('User' => array('id', 'username') ) ) ))); And a separate paginate for the post records you want to paginate: $this->paginate = array( 'Post' => array( 'limit' => 2, 'page' => 1, 'order' => array('Post.created' => 'desc'), 'conditions' => array('Post.category_id' => $id) ) ); $this->set('posts', $this->paginate('Post')); You probably have a HABTM relationship between Category and Post, so need to change the paginate conditions accordingly.
