   I have never had these links work smoothly for me. But in this instance, they go to a '404 error not found' page on page 2. I am using /%category%/%postname%/ url structure. The url it tries to go to is http://blogaddress.com/blog/page/2/ which is where the error is.
   This is the code I'm using:

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
   	<?php
   		$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   		query_posts("cat=3&showposts=1&paged=$paged");
   	?>
   
   	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   	<div id="lefttop"></div>
   
   	<div id="blogpoint">
   	<div id="leftcol">
   		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   			<div id="leftsquidge">
   				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2><br /><br />
   
   					<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   			</div>
   			<div id="rightsquidge">
   				<?php the_tags( '<p><strong>File under:</strong> ', ', ', '</p>'); ?>
   				<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>  by <strong><?php the_author() ?></strong>
   			</div>
   			<div style="clear:both;"></div>
   			<br /><br />
   		<?php endwhile; ?>
   		<div class="navigation"	style="padding:0px;margin:0px;">
   			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
   			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
   		</div>
   	<?php endif; ?>
   		<div style="clear:both;"></div>
   		</div>
   
   		</div>
   		<div id="leftbot"></div>
   	</div>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   I had a search around and i cannot find anyone else who has had this problem. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

   Your basic query and pagination code works for me. Try resetting your permalinks and make sure the change saves.

   Its a lot easier to help if you can provide a real URL.

   I had to set up a Page template for it. I had tried it previously but it didn't work. After another try it worked. Fickle, fickle wordpress

   Say, BionicDrew, I have the same problem and have found many others with variations of it but with answers that 1) I don't understand, or 2) don't work. I haven't found a single one of my categories that works properly.

   For example:
   http://www.everydaychristianity.com/guitar-tips/
   When I scroll to the bottom and click on "Next Page >>" I get a 404 error (I've changed it to read "End of Articles" but it's not!)
   The URL shown is:
   http://www.everydaychristianity.com/guitar-tips/page/2/

   My custom permalink structure is:
   /%category%/%postname%/

   Would your solution of a Page template work for me? If, so could you provide a few specifics?

   Thanks.
