   Hi all,

   I am having an issue where I cannot navigate to older posts on my blog, unless I use the defult style of permalinks.

   The site: http://www.notyouraveragelawyer.com
   

   Posts display fine up until page 4 when my own "posts not found" message appears. When using standard permalinks, this does not happen. It is only when I try to edit the permalink structure to a 'pretty permalink' structure that the posts cannot be displayed.

   My .htaccess is configured as follows

   # BEGIN WordPress
   
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   Which I believe is correct.

   The issue does not seem to occur with the basic wordpress theme.

   Does anybody know a) how I can resolve this issue, and b)Which area I could troubleshoot within my themes files in order to try and find the issue.

   Thanks for your help.

   Does your theme's index.php template file use a custom query ( query_posts() )?

   Yes Esmi it does,

   See below:

   if (is_paged()) :
   				query_posts($use_category ."showposts=".get_option("ocmx_home_page_posts")."&paged=".get_query_var('paged'));
   			elseif (is_home()) :
   				query_posts($use_category."showposts=".get_option("ocmx_home_page_posts"));
   			endif;
   
   			if (have_posts()) :
   				while (have_posts()) :	the_post();
   					setup_postdata($post);
                       // Fetch the PermaLink, Thumbnail and Video Metas
                       $get_post_video = get_post_meta($post->ID, "main_video", true);
                       $get_thumbnail = get_post_meta($post->ID, "other_media", true);
                       $link = get_permalink($post->ID);

   etc...

   Would the is_paged() option be to do with the issue?

   Possibly... Try replacing:

   if (is_paged()) :
   				query_posts($use_category ."showposts=".get_option("ocmx_home_page_posts")."&paged=".get_query_var('paged'));
   			elseif (is_home()) :
   				query_posts($use_category."showposts=".get_option("ocmx_home_page_posts"));
   			endif;

   with:

   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts($use_category . 'posts_per_page=' . get_option('ocmx_home_page_posts') . '&paged=' .$paged );
