    Thank you again for the help. I haven’t had time to try this yet but I’ll post when I do.

    In my opinion, something like this needs to be common information. I’ve seen other people post this problem, but there is either no solution posted or one that doesn’t work for me. If I can get this to work, I’ll try to distill the process to something manageable and slap it into the codex.

    Thanks again,
    Elliott

    Okay, I looked at what you wrote again.

    No, I’m not trying to redirect to a different page to handle the rest of the posts. I’m trying to do it all on the index. Is this wrong?

    Thanks

    I’m not sure what you’re asking. All the code I’ve posted is from the top of my index.php page.

    I just want it to always show one post, with previous and next buttons to navigate through posts. I know it would do this if I set the reading options to “show at most 1 post” but that would affect the whole site, which I do not want.

    Thanks for the replies,

    Okay, I’ve narrowed this down.

    My blog is still in testing so I only have 3 posts. In the “reading” settings I have “Show at most 10 posts”. I think what’s happening is this:

    WordPress is getting a request for page/2 when it thinks that all the posts should fit on one page – so, it’s giving a 404.

    If I change to “Show at most 2 posts”. It works…until you try to view the 3rd post. So, wordpress expects “page/2” now, but not “page/3” and it gives a 404.

    So what is the solution here? It’s like I need to catch it before it looks to see if there should be a “page/whatever” and decide, based on the number of posts, what to show.

    Thanks again,
    Elliott

    I took a further look at the “Example 3” you referenced, and explicitly used it. It also causes the pagination problem. I’ve tried so many “solutions” I don’t know what to try next. If anyone thinks it’ll help, I’ll post my whole index.php

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the reply!

    If that has any effect I’m not seeing it. I’m now using this:

    <?php if (is_home()) {
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("posts_per_page=1&paged=$page");
} ?>

    And as you can see, I’m still getting broken links. Any other ideas?

    Thanks again.
