   Hi All

   I'm working on a blog that has a featured post on the home page, followed by a grid of other non-featured posts below it.

   The structure is more or less as follows :

   <?php
   // necessary for the tags to show up in a custom loop
   global $wp_query;
   $wp_query->in_the_loop = true; 
   
   // custom loop
   $q_featured = new WP_Query('&category_name=featured&showposts=1');
   while ($q_featured->have_posts()) : $q_featured->the_post();
   $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
   ?>

   // featured posts
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   <?php
   query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-9');
   if (have_posts()): while(have_posts()) : the_post();
   if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue;
   ?>

   // non featured posts

   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   It's 99.9% there, except that the next_posts_link function adds an extra page - it shows a third page when there are only two, which causes a 404 error. The first two pages work fine.

   Anyone else had a similar problem?

   I've got the same issue right now, I'm calling it like this:

   <p class="pagination">
       <?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?>
       <?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?>
   </p>

   But nothing appears to show up, I just get this "Sorry, the page your requested could not be found, or no longer exists."

   Any help in this area would be great!
