Link to older posts not showing up

    For some reason, no matter what theme I use, the links to older entries will not show up on my blog.

    http://www.moonblossom.net/blog

    The theme I have currently has the following code

    <div class="navigation">
			<?php next_posts_link('Older Entries') ?> &nbsp; &nbsp; <?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries') ?>
		</div>

    Is there something that needs to be changed, or a setting I have to turn on? I’ve tried putting fewer entries per page, more entries per page, no matter how many I put, the link never shows up.

    Hi,

    Did you change the permalink settings for your blog? If so then add this code in htaccess and have a check with old posts:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Shane, thanks very much for the help. I have not changed my permalink settings, but I tried this anyways, and now apparently I do not have write permissions to the blog folder of my own web hosting :/

    Looks like I’ll be calling them when I have some downtime at work.

    I got the permissions sorted out, added the .htaccess file, and still nothing…

    Update – I managed to navigate manually to the second and third pages and the links to “Newer” entries shows up just fine, as does any text I add between the links. For some reason, it’s only the “Older” links that are not generating.

    http://moonblossom.net/blog/ <- No links

    http://moonblossom.net/blog/?paged=2 <- Links to newer entries.

    I am about ready to pull my hair out here. Are there any alternate solutions that might work here, aside from adding in a snippet of code that simply has static links to older pages?

    Adding a minimum page count seems to have fixed it.
