   I've been able to replace

   <?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?> | <?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?>

   in index.php, archive.php, etc. with

   <?php if(function_exists('wp_paginate')) {
       wp_paginate();
   } ?>

   and it works GREAT. But, when I try to replace

   <?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?> | <?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;') ?>

   in single.php WP-Paginate doesn't work.

   I know there is some difference in php code, but I don't know what it is.

   Any ideas?

   Thank you,
   Charlie

   WP-Paginate was not intended to replace the prev/next post links, just the prev/next page ones.

   In the context of a single post, pagination does not make sense unless you've broken the post into multiple pages. In that case, WP already has built-in functions to handle pagination.

   I am using a custom query to list news from news category. would like to paginate those.

   <?php $wp_query = new WP_Query('category_name=nyheter&posts_per_page=1&paged='.get_query_var( 'paged' )); ?>
   
   <?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
   
       <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>" title="<?php the_title();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br/>
   
            <?php endwhile; ?><br/>
   <?php if(function_exists('wp_paginate')) {
       wp_paginate();
   } ?>

   Allthouh it seems that single.php cannot handle the parameters sent. any ideas?
