# previous_posts_link // Navigation Question

 * Hi,
 * I’m currently working on a WP 2.3.2 install at [http://stitchcraft.heathwitch.com](http://stitchcraft.heathwitch.com)
   and am tweaking it to fit my requirements — but I’ve come across an issue I can’t
   fathom out.
 * I’d like to have the functionality of “previous entries” and “next entries” links
   at the top and bottom of every page, regardless of whether it’s a category page,
   archived page, or the index page.
 * I have checked the plugins and cannot find what I need, so I’ve delved into the
   code.
 * I am currently using previous_posts_link to achieve this functionality, and it
   works with pages that are displayed using the index page template; however, it
   does not work with pages displayed using the archive page template.
 * This should be viewable if you visit the site; for example this shows it working:
 * [http://stitchcraft.heathwitch.com/page/2/](http://stitchcraft.heathwitch.com/page/2/)
 * This shows it not:
 * [http://stitchcraft.heathwitch.com/2006/09/](http://stitchcraft.heathwitch.com/2006/09/)
 * Code is the same on each template page. Does anyone have any ideas?
 * Cheers,
 * H.
