 * I’ve been experiencing the same problem as well, with a Front Page Limit of 1
   ~4 and subsequent Paged Limit of 8 and above.
 * Essentially, it seems that subsequent paged limits greater than 8 don’t work.

 * To answer my own question and hopefully help others facing similar problems, 
   here’s my solution:
 * (Take note of the annotations)
 *     ```
       <?php
       	// Put this at the start of the script
   
       	ob_start();
   
       	// Initialize WordPress, etc
   
       	require('wp-config.php');
       	$wp->init();
       	$wp->parse_request();
       	$wp->query_posts();
       	$wp->register_globals();
   
       	/*
       	Load the contents of a widget area.
       	Usually, dynamic_sidebar only returns "true" upon a successful function call, but as we'll see later on, the HTML output that is sent to the browser can be captured and saved to a file
       */
   
       	dynamic_sidebar( 'top-widget-area' );
   
       	// Get the contents of the file, which obstensibly contains the desired HTML output of the widget
   
       	$page = ob_get_contents();
       	ob_end_flush();
   
       	// Write the contents to a text file
   
       	$fp = fopen("menu.txt","w");
       	fwrite($fp,$page);
       	fclose($fp);
       ?>
       ```

 * When I first started out I immediately thought of WP-United.
 * However, according to [the phpBB forums](http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=434&t=544065&start=900),
   the mod author had abandoned the plugin – i.e. no longer updating code / supporting
   users. This is because WP-United was written for earlier versions of WP and phpBB,
   and does not work with the latest versions of either installation.
 * To save you from the grief, I strongly recommend you NOT use WP-United.

 * As you guys had warned me, the process seems to be far more convoluted than it
   first appears.
 * “Cloning” the phpBB theme in WordPress instead of a proper integration does not
   meet my requirements because I need to have the phpBB login box / user control
   panel link up in the top box, and only phpBB can determine if the user is actually
   logged in.
 * iframes may be a quick and dirty way of adding the WP menu to the phpBB template,
   but based on what I’ve read elsewhere on the web, that is generally bad design
   practice (makes for dodgy page indexing, etc).
 * AJAX and jquery? Probably a bit much at this stage.

 * You guys just reminded me of another bridge plugin I was using prior to my current
   one. It did a fairly good job of making WordPress use my existing phpBB themes,
   although it handled the user authentication side quite poorly.
 * I have the source files for this unused plugin, so maybe I could reverse engineer
   how the author did the theme integration.
 * Wish me luck! 😀

 * Do you have backups of your theme files?

 * I didn’t bother with child themes – I directly edited the original Twenty Eleven
   files.
 * Not necessarily recommended practice, but it was a quick and dirty solution that
   worked for me.

 * I had the exact same problem last night. Luckily, I managed to resolve this 🙂
 * In the Theme Editor, go to single.php and add the following:
 * `<?php get_sidebar(); ?>`
 * In a new line just above the footer code at the bottom of the file:
 * `<?php get_footer(); ?>`
 * Next, go to functions.php (Theme Functions) and find the following at the bottom
   of the file:
 * `add_filter( 'body_class', 'twentyeleven_body_classes' );`
 * Comment it out and it will force WordPress to stop differentiating between normal
   and single post pages.

 * I suspect this might be variations in the way Google “crawls” the web and indexes
   entries.

 * In the dashboard, go to Appearance > Menus
 * Directly under the heading “Menus” there should be a little box titled “Theme
   Locations”. Inside that little box is a drop-down menu labelled “Primary Menu”.
   You can use that to choose the menu you previously defined with all your pages.
 * If you’re still stuck, try posting a screenshot for us to see.
