In reply to: Older posts link on category pages wont workCheers Brielle, yes there must of been some reason why I did it but can’t remember now where I got that advice from! And all because of a dot in the wrong place!

In reply to: Older posts link on category pages wont workGuys,
Got it sorted… I had an erroneous period (.) in the category base box which was throwing everything out. I had set it up to start with in the early days of setting up the blog and for the life of me I don’t know why now (I did read it somewhere). Anyway that was one of the first things I tested by removing it but the problem originally persisted (I think that’s because I must have being viewing cached pages). What a dipper I am!
Anyway if anyone else has the same problem at least we now have an answer. Thanks again to bperas2 for helping me along the though process, appreciated

In reply to: Older posts link on category pages wont workHi bpears2
Thanks for your response
I set up the permalinks virtually at the start of the blog so the pages are viewable if accessed via the archive list for instance or via the authors. So clicking on the older post link from
http://www.boxroomblog.co.uk/travel/
Should show (amongst others)
http://www.boxroomblog.co.uk/travel/lindos-a-chill-in-the-sun/
but it doesn’tIf you select the Authors menu item (Als Latest posts)
http://www.boxroomblog.co.uk/author/al/
And select the older posts 4 times you will eventually get to
http://www.boxroomblog.co.uk/travel/lindos-a-chill-in-the-sun/So as you can see its only on the category pages that the older post link doesn’t function. Just to clarify the problem is actually the older posts link to the category pages that house the posts which is the issue not the posts per se (they all work fine)
Oddly enough if I change the permalinks to just default setting the site all works perfectly. I return to the custom permalink and it breaks again
Hope this helps?
