Our WordPress site was hacked, and our hosting company advised deleting the blog entirely (backing up our content first) and then performing a new install of the newest version of WordPress 3.1.3.
I have successfully installed the new blog, and uploaded all our content and tied it to the existing database.
The problem is, now the Next Page (at the bottom of the posts) is no longer working. The "Next Page" link points to http://www.milehigh-harley.com/Harley-Blog/page/2/ but that page can't be found. How do I fix this?
http://www.milehigh-harley.com/Harley-Blog/
The code that references this link is in my Theme index.php file and is below - this is the default, so I haven't changed anything:
<?php posts_nav_link(' · ', 'previous page', 'next page'); ?>
Thanks for any help!

What version were you using previously? Why was that version not installed, the database restored and then the install upgraded? As it is, you may now have have a database issue.

I had upgraded the wordpress version to 3.1.3 through WP first, but then the hosting company said it still appeared to have hacked files, so they recommended deleting and reinstalling. So I deleted the entire old WordPress folder, then downloaded the newest WP 3.1.3 version, unzipped it and uploaded it to the server in a folder of the same name, but when I tried to "install" it it said it was already installed, and seems to be working fine - except for this "next page" link issue. Any ideas on how I can fix it?

I looked quickly, but I will comb through my uploads and theme folders more carefully. Do you think this next page linking issue may have something to do with a hacking problem?
If there has been a hack, then it's possible, yes.

I reviewed my uploads and theme folder contents and they all seem legit... any other ideas on why the Next Page link isn't working?
Have you tried:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
- switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
- resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

Fixed! I deactivated the plugins and the "Next page" link fixed itself, so then re-activated the plugins one by one, and for some reason, I was able to re-activate all of them and the link is still working. So that did it - must have been a bad activation on one of the plugins.
Thanks for your help!
