<% for @sites in @sites %> <%= @sites.naam %> <%= will_paginate @sites %> <% end %>

that's going to balls everything up: initially @sites is a will_paginate collection, but then you're overwriting it with a single element from that collection. Also do you really want to be rendering the pagination links for each elements. Typically you would do someting like for sites in @sites ... (or use a partial, or @sites.each do | site> ...)

I wrote it exactly as in the railscasts

and the official manual

http://rock.errtheblog.com/will_paginate

even the require 'will_paginate' i did Only without any result

But are you using "for @sites in @sites" or not?

BTW, just in case, total_pages was recently added, it was called page_count before.

You're not using it as in the examples. THe examples all go for site in @sites #do something with site end

will_paginate @sites

The way you do it can't work because you are reassigning one of the sites to @sites, but will_paginate wants you to pass a collection, not an individual element.
