“Actually as I see it – WP shouldn’t show the “previous” when there are no more posts to show: as it does on the index.”
Agreed! I wish it was working that way. Any ideas?
Found the answer!
It is a bug and will be fixed for WP version 1.6.

Nope, still there — running freshy theme on 2.0.3
Figured out what the problem is, I am getting a redundant subfolder call for some reason on every “Previous Entries” link, i.e.,
yorku.ca/gags/~gags instead of
yorku.ca/gags/
If I change the Blog Address in the general options, I can get it to work, but every other link is disrupted. Will look into the theme…
I’ve gathered from other posts that there is something wrong with how the $index and $qtr strings are being set in lines 394-396 of wp-includes/template_functions_links.php.
Any ideas? One defines the previous entries link in “manage posts” and the home page ($index), while the other affects category or archives. ($qtr).
Actually, I found that my subdomain wordpress installation is working fine, but my tilda’d site isn’t — so it’s definitely something to do with the server redirection… Hmmm..
GOT IT!
It’s ugly but it works. To get rid of the redundant subdomain, just subtract that part of the $index and $qstr strings that is giving the problems.
To see what they originally were getting, I ran a trace script on the $_SERVER calls in the get_pagenum_link function:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
?>
This gave the orginating file as well as the subdomain. BINGO!
Thus to lines 377 to 398 of template_functions_links.php, I added a substr php command to excise this problematic subdomain:
$qstr = wp_specialchars($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$qstr = substr ($qstr, 8);
...
$index = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$index = substr ($index, 6);
The discrepancy in the substr calls are because I am getting %7E in $qstr, two characters more than the regular single ~ in $index.
Thus in general, for $qstr, the number should be the length of subdomain name + 4, and for $index it should be +2.
This seems to have cleared up other 404 errors originating from the login as well as all instances of previous/next entries misdirection.
