   Hi guys,

   I'm querying posts in my index.php like that :
   

   <?php
   		query_posts('offset=1');
   		if (have_posts()) :
   		while (have_posts()) :
   	      the_post();
   		?>
   		<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
   		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   		<?php endwhile;
   		endif;
   		?>

   Then, I'm adding a next_posts_link but it brings me again in the same index.php.

   Do you know how to solve this ?

   Many thanks for any help;

   D.

   Try:
   query_posts($query_string . '&offset=1');

   If that doesn't work may look at use the
   

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

   Awesome !

   Here's my final code :

   <?php query_posts ($query_string.'offset=1') ; ?>
   		<?php
   		if (have_posts()) :
   		while (have_posts()) :
   	      the_post();
   		?>
   		<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
   		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   		<?php endwhile;
   		endif;
   		?>

   I just deleted the & , which seemed to interfere in '&offset=1');.

   Many thanks.

   Don't know why that is working...

   It doesn't seems to need the '&' as a "connector", maybe because there's only one parameter : the offset ?

   It's in fact my main loop in index.php, and the only special parameter would be that offset (before that, I have another loop with a wp_query).

   But don't trust me, I'm not sure to do things totally right (even if the pagination works now), so any clarification would be cool.

   I was filtering posts on a single page with the function call 'query_posts' and noticed after a while the same problem as the original poster (Dunkkan) - the unabillity to sift through older and newer posts with the next_posts_link or previous_posts_link call, and it was easily addressed to the query_post function, since if I turned it off, everything worked fine.

   this seems to solve it. I'm not sure for how long though, since I'm quite novice to php and wordpress altogether. I make of use of the get_query_var and dynamically add the appropriate paged number to the offset variable.

   <?php
       //get the categories...
       $submissions = get_cat_ID( 'submissions' );
       $inspiration = get_cat_ID( 'inspiration' );
       $finalist = get_cat_ID( 'finalist' );
       $crew = get_cat_ID( 'crew' );
   
   	if(intval(get_query_var('paged'))>1){
   		$offset = '&offset='.((get_query_var('paged')-1)*10);
   	}else{
   		$offset = '&offset=0';
   	}
   
   	$querystring = 'cat='. $submissions.','.$inspiration.','.$finalist.','.$offset;
   	?>
   
       <!--begin query-->
       <?php query_posts($querystring.'&showposts=10'); ?>
   
   	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>...
   
   ...<?php endif; ?>
   
       <!--end query-->
       <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

   sorry about that!
   lost the category filtering due to a typo in the code above...

   this:
   $querystring = 'cat='. $submissions.','.$inspiration.','.$finalist.','.$offset;

   should be this:
   $querystring = 'cat='. $submissions.','.$inspiration.','.$finalist.$offset;
