 * are you using a custom query in your front page (index.php ?)
 * if so it may be missing the ‘paged’ parameter:
    see below how to integrate it.
 *     ```
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       $args = array(
       'posts_per_page' => 10, // optional to overwrite the dashboard setting
       'cat' => 0,
       'paged' => $paged
       );
       query_posts($args); 	?>
       ```
   
 * substitute your own query parameters.
 * or:
 *     ```
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       query_posts('posts_per_page=10&cat=0&paged='.$paged'); ?>
       ```
   
 * again, put your own query parameters in.
 * if this does not help, paste the code of index.php into a [http://wordpress.pastebin.com/](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)
   and post the link to it here.
 * a link to your site might also help.

 * hi, i have nothing on my index, i just have this query on home.php
 *     ```
       <?php
                   $post = $wp_query->post;
                        $id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT term_id FROM $wpdb->terms WHERE slug='" .get_option('gallery-category') ."'");
   
                          ?>
   
                <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       <?php query_posts('cat=-' .$id .''); ?>
   
                       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       ```

 * home.php is the right file.
 * in your code, try and change:
    `query_posts('cat=-' .$id .'');`
 * to:
 *     ```
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       query_posts('cat=-' .$id .'&paged='.$paged);
       ```
