I finally uploaded a backup edit-pages.php that i did NOT open in wordpad and it worked. * I will look into Notepad++ * I am at work now, and wont be able to zip up the files for you to look at until later. * There was a child theme listed in the theme directory, but i didnt look at it too closely. I will look into that as well. * I really appreciate the help. I will try to provide these answers soon… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [2nd page of posts not there – 404 – link to previous/older posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2nd-page-of-posts-not-there-404-link-to-previousolder-posts/) * Thread Starter [jdk291](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdk291/) * (@jdk291) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2nd-page-of-posts-not-there-404-link-to-previousolder-posts/page/2/#post-1339179) * > Have you made changes to the index file?
