   Basically, my issue is the fact I cant have multiple post pages. I am not 100% sure how to explain this exactly, but I purchased this website a month or so ago and I am trying to add something the previous owner I do believe has removed.

   Basically I want 10 posts on my main page and then multiple pages with 10 posts on them as well, I am not 100% sure how to add the navigation for multiple pages for example "1, 2, 3" on the bottom, and my multiple post pages don't exist.

   I'm not sure if I was clear on the question, but any help is greatly appreciated, thanks. If you need the link to the site please ask :)

   Set the Blog pages show at most in Administration > Settings > Reading to 10.

   Install and activate the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-pagenavi/ plugin to get 'page numbers'.

   Then start writing posts ;)

   I already have had all of this setup and installed, but my issue seems to be in the footer of the page.

   PageNavi works just fine on the default themes, etc, however when I use it on the theme "PureType" I come across an issue.

   I can put the actual code for PageNavi in the footer at any spot, however nothing will show up in the area that I put the code, I have put text in these areas, etc. but the PageNavi code will just not work there.

   I am completely clueless at this point.

   Since I can't download that theme without paying, maybe the theme author has some input.

   Hmm, I have solved the majority of the issues, but basically I have one minor problem, that I am not 100% sure on how to fix.

   Basically I have 2 post areas, one for the main "reviews" part, and one for the "Top 10 Reviewed" section. The top 10 reviewed section loads last, so the pagenavi uses it to paginate. So basically the top 10 reviewed is the same on every page, so that the actual navigation doesnt update itsself, it always just stays on "Page 1 of 4" or "Page 1 of 5" no matter the page you are on. Is there anyway to get around this?

   Strange...I have no problem using <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?> with the WordPress Default theme in either the index.php or footer.php.

   I didn't put a pagenavi-css.css in the theme folder.

   What happens if you don't use wp-pagenavi and use the WordPress core navigation code such as <?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?> and <?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;')?

   The issue isnt with using wp_pagenavi itsself, basically I have 10 posts that are static on my sidebar area, and that loads after my main content, which updates, you will see my example if you visit my page.

   If you use the navigation located at the bottom, and go to page 2, and then take a look at it again, you will see my issue, it does not update.

   Each of these pages:
   http://www.hostingreviewsbase.com/page/1/
   http://www.hostingreviewsbase.com/page/2/
   http://www.hostingreviewsbase.com/page/3/
   http://www.hostingreviewsbase.com/page/4/

   display different posts. Is that wrong?

   I must be missing something so maybe it's your permalinks and so might try updating your permalink structure.

    The behaviour of page linking numbers at the bottom is intriguing. When you are in page no.2, the number 2 should be without a hyperlink, likewise in all the 4 pages. That is how it behaves in my blog. But here all the numbers except 1 are hyperlinked on all the 4 pages.

    Perhaps you may take this up in Lesterchan's forum. He may offer a solution.

    The different posts is just fine, I am talking about the "Top 10 Reviewed Hosts" bit, it needs to stay the same, while actual "review" posts change on every page. The issue is, is that the navigation will not update, it constantly stays "Page 1 of 4" no matter the page you are on.

    I'm not seeing that problem using that plugin with several different themes

    As kichu said "Perhaps you may take this up in Lesterchan's forum. He may offer a solution."
