# next_posts_link root link

 * I would like next_posts_link to link to the root of the site rather then the 
   directory the page is in. IE:
 * Link to:
    `/page/2/`
 * Rather then:
    `/blog/page/2/`
 * Is there a way to make it work this way?
 * I’m savvy with HTML/CSS but a novice with PHP.
 * Thanks!

 * I am having a similar problem. I have set the permalink to be /blog/%postname%/
   and now my Next/Previous post links do not work. I am using the standard “next_posts_link(‘«
   Older Entries’)”
 * Any ideas would be of great help.

 * Bump!
 * I’m having the identical problem, and could find nothing in the Codex to help.

 * or other way around – how can I edit the perma-structure, that the link to /blog/
   page/2/ works?
