ChaoticSoul – First post appears on all pages

Hi,

I’ve already seen this issue reported before [url]http://wordpress.org/support/topic/199720?replies=10[/url]

But there is no solution anywhere to be found. The issue is when you click “Previous Entries” the latest post on the blog will always appear on top, eventhough you’re not even on the first page anymore.

I use this code in index.php

<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
		</div>

I can’t seem to figure this one out, im thinking it’s something with this:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<!-- First Post -->
  	<?php $top_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1'); ?>
  	<?php while($top_query->have_posts()) : $top_query->the_post(); $first_post = $post->ID; ?>

			<div class="post top" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<h2 class="first"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				<span class="postmetadata">&bull; <?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '(', ')'); ?></span>

				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content("<span class=\"continue\">" . __('Continue reading','') . " '" . the_title('', '', false) . "'</span>"); ?>
				</div>
			</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<!-- Next few posts -->
		<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); if(!($first_post == $post->ID)) : ?>	

			<div class="post lastfive" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				<span class="postmetadata">&bull; <?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '(', ')'); ?></span>

				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content(); ?>
				</div>
			</div>

		<?php endif; endwhile; ?>

I would love if someone could point me in the right direction, i’ve been searching for hours and found nothing but dead threads with people who had the same problem but apparently solved them

Thanks!
