    I’m trying to implement pagination on a website I did not code(thus the old WP version).

    The following code lists 5 posts like asked but when clicking the navigation it will just change the URL to http://mysite.com?p=1516&paged=2 the content won’t change to list the next 5 posts.

    Code in single.php 

    <?php
       query_posts('posts_per_page=5');
       if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
             ?>

 <li><a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <div class="date">{<?php the_time('l, j F, Y') ?>}</div></li>

 <?php endwhile; 

   previous_posts_link(); ?> • <?php next_posts_link(); 

endif; ?>

    Can anyone point out what is wrong with the code and how to solve the issue?

    you have to paginate a query:

    <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts(array(
	'posts_per_page' => 5,
         'paged'=>$paged,
        ));
?>

    I tried the following but still the same issue:

    <?php
  if (have_posts()) :
     $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts(array('posts_per_page' => 5,'paged'=>$paged,));

   while (have_posts()) : the_post();  ?>

 <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <div class="date">{<?php the_time('l, j F, Y') ?>}</div></li>

<?php endwhile; 

previous_posts_link(); ?> &bull; <?php next_posts_link();
           endif; ?>
 		</ul>

    you’ve got the query inside the loop, it comes first, before the ‘if’

    for instance mine looks like:

    <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts(array(
	'post_type' => 've_products', // custom post type
         'paged'=>$paged,
        ));
?>
         <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
         <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    Weird…still same issue. Do I have to modify anything else in the settings and is the use of previous_posts_link(); ?> &bull; <?php next_posts_link(); correct?

    there is a typo in the query defined in your above statement –
    'paged'=>$paged,));

    try this –

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; 

$args = array (
  'posts_per_page' => 5,
  'paged' => $paged
);

query_posts($args);
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>

<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<div class="date">{<?php the_time('l, j F, Y') ?>}</div>
</li>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php previous_posts_link('< previous page', 0); ?>
<?php next_posts_link('next page >', 0); ?>
<?php else: endif; ?>
</ul>
