Title: Problem with old posts not showing Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Problem with old posts not showing * [ldsdbomber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ldsdbomber/) * (@ldsdbomber) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-old-posts-not-showing/) * My blog is [http://leeharris.org.uk/blog/](http://leeharris.org.uk/blog/) I have a diary going back to June 12th, using Mimbo theme and no plugins except a flickr link and akismet If i use the calendar widget I can go back to the dates and see all my old posts, one per day since June 12th. However, the front page which I’ve configured to show the last 7 posts, then only lists 3 more in the“ older posts” text links at the bottom, this is despite there being another 4 not shown, they are all tagged with Diary category, if I click that category link on front page, again it just shows 10 posts, when i click previous posts there it says not found, like its not finding the first 4 posts, even though they are accessible via the calendar on June 12-15th. Have I messed something up, or am I misunderstanding something, I’d like the bottom of the main page to show all the older post names or at least have an “older posts” link, and I have no idea why the Diary category is refusing to find or show any more than 10 posts even though I have 14 posts all correctly categorised. Help please! cheers, Lee Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [shane-g](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shane-g/) * (@shane-g) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-old-posts-not-showing/#post-1165798) * Hi, * It seems that you have changed the permainks settings and then try to access the old posts. Please add this code in htaccess and have a check with old and new posts: * # BEGIN WordPress * ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404 RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!- d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] * # END WordPress * Thanks, * Shane G. * Thread Starter [ldsdbomber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ldsdbomber/) * (@ldsdbomber) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-old-posts-not-showing/#post-1165800) * Hi Shane, I will try to do that, though I assume I’ll need to ftp into my site to access the .htaccess file. I don’t remember changing any permalink settings, indeed, i am not sure how I would do that, so do you think it’s possible that if I reinstall the mimbo theme somehow, it would fix the problem? As far as I recall, the only thing I changed was to alter the number of posts showing on the front page * [andhikaup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andhikaup/) * (@andhikaup) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-old-posts-not-showing/#post-1166248) * has anybody found the solutions of this, because I’m having the same problem. * so please advise me * Thanks * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-old-posts-not-showing/#post-1166249) * andhikaup, please stick to your own thread.
