    I currently have the main page displaying the 10 newest posts. How can I add navigation links to show the next 10 posts, previous 10 posts and so on and so forth.

    I’ve tried using the <?php posts_nav_link(); ?> template tag but it doesn’t work. It simply calls up this url… http://www.athique.co.uk/index.php/page/2/ which basically just shows my main page.

    How do I go about doing this?

    Thanks

    Need some help on this one please. Thanks.

    I am not familiar with your theme but if it has a customized Loop the prev/next won’t work.

    Thanks for replying.

    From what I know so far, the default Loop in a template is `<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>`

    This is what’s currently in my index file.

    That said, would I be right in saying that it isn’t a customized loop?

    That’s the first line only…
    The_Loop

    I know you said it wouldn’t work if The Loop in my theme had been customized, but is there any way around it to use the posts nav link?

    I fixed it by removing query_posts('showposts=10'). The <?php posts_nav_link(); ?> tag works fine now.

    One last question though. I’ve set the number of posts to be shown as 10 in the options. Will removing the query_posts tag affect/upset anything else in the template?

    It shouldn’t.
    (yes, using the query_posts – is a modified Loop)

    So how do you get any navigations (next posts and previous posts) with a modified loop? There should be a waring on the query_posts page stating that it would break the navigation.

    By the way I use query_posts on the home page and the page listing articles in a particular category. the navigation appears on the home page but not the page for a category. anyone know why? im using posts_nav_link

    Nevermind, it works using query_posts.
