You’re right, its hard because each IP trying to access the link is from a different country with a different IP and hostname. I’ve setup a function to block any IP now that tries to access that link but I’m not sure what else I could do, I don’t want to fully block hosts because then I’m going to (like you said) block legitimate users.
I might block them until I notice the attacks stop and then remove the IPs from the blacklist.
Thanks for the reply, I’m using the TwentyTen theme and I’ve been slowly turning it into my own designed theme.
I actually solved the problem, I didn’t realise but I had the classes for the pagination set to display none in the CSS.
