previous_posts_link next_posts_link problem

This was really helpfull for me. But in my case I am trying to renew even the first three posts. Is there any way to do that?

Hi alchymyth, thanks so far. There shouldn’t be anything like featured. I just want to separate two kinds of posts from each other. Here’s the link:

http://wordpress.planetfreu.de/category/allgemein/

and here the code:

1. This switches between Category and Subcategory, works:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap(); ?>
<div id="content-sidebar-wrap">

<?php genesis_before_loop(); ?>

<?php genesis_before_content(); ?>
  <div id="content" class="hfeed">
    <h1 class="cat-title">News im Bereich - <?php single_cat_title(); ?></h1>
    <?php if (is_category()) {
    $this_category = get_category($cat);
    if (get_category_children($this_category->cat_ID) != "") {
    // This is the Template for Category level 1
    include(CHILD_DIR.'/maincategory.php');
    }
    else	{
    // This is the Template for Category level 2
    include(CHILD_DIR.'/subcategory.php');
    }

    } ?>
  </div><!-- end #content -->
<?php include(CHILD_DIR.'/sidebar-category.php'); ?>

</div><!-- end #content-sidebar-wrap -->
<?php genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

2. This is the subcategory. There should be 2 – 3 Items, each with 3 or 4 Post excerpts. Right now it doesn’t work because some content is duplicate at the second page.

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php rewind_posts(); ?>
<?php
wp_reset_query();
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('cat='.$cat.'&orderby=date&order=DESC&posts_per_page=3&paged='.$paged);
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); update_post_caches($posts);
$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;
?>
<div <?php post_class(); ?>>
  <div class="entry-content first">
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'mega' ); ?></a>
    <?php genesis_post_title(); ?>
    <?php wpe_excerpt('wpe_excerptlenght_teaser', 'wpe_excerptmore'); ?>
  </div><!-- end .entry-content -->
</div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?><!-- ... end of First Teasers -->
<div id="bottomposts">
 <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php rewind_posts(); ?>
<?php 

query_posts('cat='.$cat.'&orderby=date&order=DESC&posts_per_page=5');

while (have_posts()) : the_post(); update_post_caches($posts);
if ( !in_array( $post->ID, $do_not_duplicate ) ):
?>
<div class="postovi">
 <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php wpe_excerpt('wpe_excerptlenght_short', 'wpe_excerptmore'); ?><p></p>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">Read more...</a>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

<div class="pagination">
  <div class="previous"><?php previous_posts_link('Previous Entries') ?></div>
  <div class="next"><?php next_posts_link('Next Entries') ?></div>
</div>

Thanks a lot in advance …

Hi and thanks for your support. I tried a different approach and it works well (http://wordpress.planetfreu.de/category/allgemein/). If anyone is interested in putting different appearances to excerpt on the category page – this works:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $count = 0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php $count++; ?>
  <?php if ($count <= 3) : ?>
  				<div <?php post_class(); ?>>
            <div class="entry-content first">
              <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'mega' ); ?></a>
              <?php genesis_post_title(); ?>
              <?php wpe_excerpt('wpe_excerptlenght_teaser', 'wpe_excerptmore'); ?>
            </div><!-- end .entry-content -->
          </div>
   <?php elseif ($count == 4) : ?>
   <div id="featured-bottom">
   <h4 class="widgettitle">weitere News</h4>
   <?php elseif ($count <= 7) : ?>
   				<div <?php post_class(); ?>>
            <div class="entry-content second">
              <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'large' ); ?></a>
              <?php genesis_post_title(); ?>
              <?php wpe_excerpt('wpe_excerptlenght_short', 'wpe_excerptmore'); ?>
            </div><!-- end .entry-content -->
          </div>
   <?php elseif ($count == 8) : ?>
   </div><div class="clear"></div>
   <?php else : ?>
          <div <?php post_class(); ?>>
            <div class="entry-content third">
              <?php genesis_post_title(); ?>
              <?php wpe_excerpt('wpe_excerptlenght_mini', 'wpe_excerplink'); ?>
            </div><!-- end .entry-content -->
          </div>
  <?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if(is_single()) { // single-view navigation ?>
	<?php $posts = query_posts($query_string); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<?php previous_post_link(); ?> | <?php next_post_link(); ?>
	<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php } else { // archive view navigation ?>
		<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>
<?php } ?>
