   The navigation at the bottom of my site (http://agabus.com) does not work on the index page -- it does work on the search page. I think the problem rests with the them, for the navigation works on other themes. Here is the code for the theme in question; I'm using the "Journalist" theme featured at WordPress.

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <?php
      if (is_home()) {
         query_posts("cat=-29");
      }
   ?>
   
   <div id="content" class="group">
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   <p class="comments"><a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number('comments','with one comment','with % comments'); ?></a></p>
   
   <div class="main">
   	<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
   </div>
   
   <div class="meta group">
   <div class="signature">
       <p>Written by <?php the_author() ?> <span class="edit"><?php edit_post_link('Edit'); ?></span></p>
       <p><?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?> <?php _e("at"); ?> <?php the_time('g:i a'); ?></p>
   </div>
   <div class="tags">
       <p><?php if(function_exists('wp_email')) { email_link(); } ?></p>
       <p><?php if(function_exists('wp_print')) { print_link(); } ?></p>
   </div>
   </div>
   
   <?php if ( comments_open() ) comments_template(); ?>
   
   <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   <div class="warning">
   	<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   <div class="navigation">
   	<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
   	<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
   </div>
   
   </div> 
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   I'm really struggling folks. Can't seem to get the navigation to work. It's definitely something in the theme, and I'm not inclined to change it. Any ideas?

   The simple reason is this code:
   

   <?php
      if (is_home()) {
         query_posts("cat=-29");
      }
   ?>

   WordPress navigation don´t love query posts, but there are some solutions for this problem. Search the forum for query_post + navigation.

   The search is not yielding a solution.

   I want to exclude certain categories from the front page (index) but I also want the page navigation to work.

   I'm using this code, which I found at WordPress:

   <?php
      if (is_home()) {
         query_posts("cat=-29");
      }
   ?>

   How can I exclude certain categories and still get the navigation to work?

   Ah.... Found http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-category-excluder/

   Actually http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simply-exclude/ seems to work better, as it excludes a category from the front-page (index) weblog, but not in the sidebar, which is where they appear as asides.
