   The <?php next_posts_link('Next Page') ?> works on my front page but when I use it for categories, I get 404 messages. Anyone know how to fix this?

   Examples: front page - controlalttv.net
   category page - controlalttv.net/column

   Thanks,

   A couple possibilities, first try updating your permalinks (Settings>Permalinks>Save Changes).

   Are you using any other pagination plugin or custom code to create the multiple pages? This maybe causing an issue as well with the theme.

   To further investigate the issue try a different theme and see if the same URL works. If it does, then most likely the issue is with the theme.

   Hope this gives you some better direction!

   I changed the permalink settings and it worked. I switched from custom to standard and nothing worked. I was using /%category%/%post_id% as the default and changed it to /%category%/%postname%-%post_id% and now it works. Thanks!
