   I am unable to make the previous_post_link & next_post_link work correctly on my custom wordpress site.

   Can anyone help me, please refer to the code and link below.

   [please mark any code using the 'code' button; and in future, please use the pastebin for any code longer than 10 lines]

   <?php query_posts('category_name=testimonials&showposts=1'); ?>
   			<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
               	<h2>Staff</h2>
         <a href="wordpress/testimonials"><h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1></a>
                   <img src="/images/top_background.png" width="486" height="16">
                   <div class="entry">
   				<?php the_content(); ?>
                    <img src="/images/testimonials_line.jpg" width="289" height="22" align="left">
   				<?php previous_post_link(); ?>
   				<?php next_post_link(); ?>
   				</div>
              	<?php endwhile; ?>
               <?php endif; ?>

   as this code is not in single.php, try next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link()

   Thanks! The navigation is now appearing but the actual content is not changing when clicking on the navigation. Its strange there are 4 posts in the category I am querying and in the menu bar you can see the pages changing but the content stays the same??

   Thoughts??

   the pagination parameter is missing in the query:

   try:

   <?php query_posts('category_name=testimonials&showposts=1&paged=' .get_query_var('paged')); ?>

   Thank you so much for you help! This works great.

   Now my one and final question: Is there a way to have the links always appear, even if there are no more posts to cycle through?

   not as links; however, you can have some output instead:

   see if you can get the idea from this snippet:

   <div class="navigation">
   	<div class="alignleft"><?php if(get_next_posts_link()) { next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries'); } else { echo 'No Older Entries'; } ; ?></div>
   
   	<div class="alignright"><?php if(get_previous_posts_link()) { previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;'); } else { echo 'No Newer Entries'; } ; ?></div>
   </div>
