undefined method `paginate' despite having will_paginate gem

I'm a rails newbie and I'm trying to construct a feed of posts that are pulled from the database based on the characteristic of a category (in this case music). The action getting flagged is:

def music
    @music_wads = Wad.find_by(category: "Music").paginate(page: params[:page])      
end

Perhaps I'm making an error with the syntax, but I have the gem will_paginate installed. I have yet to actually add the <%= will_paginate @music_wads %> to my view however. Any thoughts?

Try .where instead of .find_by:

@music_wads = Wad.where(category: "Music").paginate(page: params[:page])

.find_by returns first record matching your conditions, while .paginate needs an ActiveRecord::Relation collection of records to work.
