   Hi,

   I have a CMS setup using the Page-To-Front plugin and WP 1.5.1. Right now I have a 'home' page that uses the generic page.php template, and 'blog' page that uses a specific blog.php template. This works great for page 1, but when the 'Next Page' is clicked in the blog, it goes back to the page.php template. Take a look:

   http://www.cyberhobo.net/index.php?pagename=blog&paged=1

   http://www.cyberhobo.net/index.php?pagename=blog&paged=2

   Anyone know why this happens? I don't see any code in the Page-To-Front plugin that would do that.

   Talking to myself in here again, but maybe someone else will benefit. The problem was that my main blog is now on a page, and pages are aparently assumed to have only one post, so &paged=2 returned no posts instead of the one post for that page. I solved the problem in my .htaccess file with these lines:

   
RewriteRule ^(blog)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?pagename=$1&pgd=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(blog)(/[0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?pagename=$1&pgd=$2 [QSA,L]


   The key is using 'pgd' instead 'paged', so the initial query returns the one bogus post for page 'blog', and the blog.php template is correctly used. Then, in that template:

   
<?php $qy = preg_replace('/page_id=d*&?/','',$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']); ?>
<?php $qy = preg_replace('/pagename=w*&?/','',$qy); ?>
<?php $qy = preg_replace('/page=w*&?/','',$qy); ?>
<?php $qy = preg_replace('/pgd=(d*)(&?)/','paged=${1}${2}',$qy); ?>
<?php $qy = $qy==''?'orderby=date':$qy; ?>
<?php query_posts($qy); ?>
<?php extract ($wp_query->query_vars); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>


   Here I turn the 'pgd' back to 'paged' for the real query that pulls up my blog posts. I included the beginning of The Loop for context. The extract() call is necessary to get posts_nav_links() to work later in the template.

   Where is that code used? And I don't use "?" in my URLs.

   The solution described above didn't work for a website I developed: http://www.anacarmen.com

   Some small changes were necessary if you used the blog.php as described in http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages

   Instead of index.php, I used blog.php in the .htaccess file.

   RewriteRule ^(blog)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /blog.php?pagename=$1&pgd=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(blog)(/[0-9]+)?/?$ /blog.php?pagename=$1&pgd=$2 [QSA,L]

   And I replaced the original code in blog.php with

   <?php $qy = preg_replace('/page_id=d*&?/','',$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']); ?>
<?php $qy = preg_replace('/pagename=w*&?/','',$qy); ?>
<?php $qy = preg_replace('/page=w*&?/','',$qy); ?>
<?php $qy = preg_replace('/pgd=(d*)(&?)/','paged=${1}${2}',$qy); ?>
<?php $qy = $qy==''?'orderby=date':$qy; ?>
<?php query_posts($qy);
extract ($wp_query->query_vars);
load_template( TEMPLATEPATH . '/index.php'); //loads index
?>
