   Hi

   I've got an ajax post navigation that's working well - except that it shows a previous link on the last page...which, when clicked, obviously leads to a 404 - is there any way to hide the previous link on the last page?

   Here's my code:

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   $whatever = new WP_Query;
   $whatever->query('post_type=whatever&posts_per_page=10&paged='. $paged);
   ?>

   and then the post navigation:

   <div class="navigation">
   <div class="prev"><?php next_posts_link('PREVIOUS', '1000' ); ?></div>
   <div class="next"><?php previous_posts_link('NEWER', '1000' ); ?></div>
   </div>

   Thanks in advance

   the '1000' seems to be causing it; without this 'max-pages' parameter, the last link will automatically not be shown.

   if you can work without restricting the links to a max number, use:

   previous_posts_link('NEWER');

   Hey

   Thanks for the reply. It seems that if I remove the number and just have:
   <?php previous_posts_link('PREVIOUS'); ?>
   nothing happens. They don't show at all.

   Any thoughts on this?

   Many thanks

   could be an interaction with some plugins, or due to the programming of the theme; maybe the theme is using one of the variable names that are used in the next/previous posts link code.

   as for the plugins, you could try and deactivate all plugins; and if it works then, reactivate one plugin after the other until to find out which might be causing it.

   A workaround...

   <div class="navigation">
   <?php if ($wp_query->max_num_pages > $paged) : ?>
   <div class="prev"><?php next_posts_link('PREVIOUS', '1000' ); ?></div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <div class="next"><?php previous_posts_link('NEWER', '1000' ); ?></div>
   </div>
