   hey,

   i made a template page, that should only display posts in the category "blog".

   i used <php query_posts('category_name=blog'); ?> which worked quite well.

   but now it does not work anymore beacuse page 2, 3, ... all display the same first 10 posts.

   i tried to fix it with this help: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/querying-all-posts?replies=12#post-679318

   now my code looks like this:
   

   <?php
   $limit = get_option('posts_per_page');
   $page = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
   query_posts('category_name=blog' . '&showposts=' . $limit . '&paged=' . $page);
   $wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false;
   ?>

   and after the posts
   

   <?php
   		endwhile;
   		next_posts_link('Previous Posts');
   		previous_posts_link('Next Posts');
   		?>

   on the first page the link "previous posts" appears and page 2 works fine. but at the bottom of page 2 there is only another link "previous posts" and not "next posts" and the "previous posts" link on page 2 does not work. it does not link me to page 3...

   can somebody please help me?

   would be great.

   thanks

   Does it work when you only use this?
   

   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts('category_name=blog&paged=' . $paged);

   Can you paste and submit the full code of the template file into a pastebin.com and post the link to it here? see the Forum Rules for posting code and using the pastebin.

   I don't think you need the $wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false; code. And $limit is the default number of post to show per page, so you don't need that as well.

   Try it with this: http://pastebin.com/8rFGm9iw

   Is this a static front page?

   still does not work. just showing the same 10 posts on page 2. and the next posts link on page 2 is still missing. and previous link on page 2 still not linking to page 3 :(

   and yes it is a static front page!

   edit:
   i tried to use it as a normal page and when this page is not used as a front page, it works perfectly!

   Try it with this for your static front page: http://pastebin.com/nGjKSFRN
