   Hello,

   Site Home - http://redacted/
   Listings page - http://redacted/index.php/press/

   On the above site I have a limit of 6 posts on archive pages. This works fine until I get more than 6 posts such as here - http://redacted/index.php/press/. The links to move to different archive pages appear and link to http://redacted/index.php/press/page/2/ which seems to be right but once clicked goes to a 404.

   If I alter the url to http://redacted/index.php/press/?paged=2 it works fine.

   I am simply using the following code to display it:-
   

   <ul class="navlinks">
   <li class="left"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous posts') ?></li>
   <li class="right"><?php previous_posts_link('Next posts &raquo;') ?></li>
   </ul>

   I am using permalinks with a windows server (hence index.php) so can't doing anything with mod rewrite. I don't want to turn it off either.

   Any help is much appreciated.

   Dave.

   Probably need to set your query_posts to adhere to pagination rules:

   Something like:

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts($query_string . '&paged=' . $paged);
   ?>

   Thank yuo for your reply.

   I have added this to below

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

   which i assume is the right place but it doesn't seem to effect the URL paths of the previous links at the bottom.

   Do I have to do anything else for this to work?

   Dave.

   If would be before the if (have_posts()) but you may need to post your Template that is displaying your archives at a pastebin and report the link back here.

   You code works right for me (i.e. next/previous links return expected posts) when displaying archives.

   Using the WordPress Default Theme for testing, I replaced the archive.php with your code. No plugins active, and successfully used both Default and Month and Name Permalinks.

   This is wierd.

   I don't know if it is something because I am on a windows server but I can't get it to work :(

   I also tried it on a local install and it works!

   Do you have any idea what I could do? is there a way of changing the URL so it goes to /press/?paged=2 instead of page/2/?

   Thanks again MichaelH!

   Dave.

   I recently ran into this - and after updating the permalinks all worked well so make sure you try that.
