    Hey I was wondering if someone can give me a hand in fixing my next prev page links. I use a cusotm query on my index php and from what I understand this breaks those links. I applied the fix found here:

    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/next-page-link-doesnt-work?replies=9

    But no change. Thanks in advance. Here is my index.php (without the applied fix).

    <?php $posts=query_posts($query_string . 'posts_per_page=10&offset=2'); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    and with the fix:

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

		$posts=query_posts($query_string . 'posts_per_page=10&offset=2&paged=' . $paged); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    pagination does not work together with the ‘offset’ parameter – you might need to find a different way to jump the first two posts.

    it might help if you post the full code of the template – see http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code

    No problen. Can you suggest a way to skip the first two posts? I skip them because I feature them in a dynamic content slideshow.

    You can try to put the two posts that you are talking about into a special category, something name “Featured” for instance. Then you can use the standard next page function, excluding that category. In theory, this should work.

    <?php next_post_link('%link', 'Next post in category', FALSE, 'ID'); ?>

    Replacing ID with the id of your “Featured” category.

    if you don’t need to set the posts_per_page to 10 (you can do this under dashboard – settings – reading) then the following might work to replace this section:

    $posts=query_posts($query_string . 'posts_per_page=10&offset=2');

    replacement:

    global $wp_query; $latest = array(); foreach( get_posts('posts_per_page=2') as $late ){ $latest[] = $late->ID; }; $args = array_merge( $wp_query->query_vars, array( 'post__not_in' => $latest ) ); query_posts( $args );
