previous / next page link in WP.

[DarrenC]

Okay, everytime I change something on my blog theme I mess it up. Last night I added a line seperator, and added the code into the CSS and index.php file - which worked great.

Tonight though I received an email from a potential advertiser to say that they can't read my previous blog entries because theres no link there anymore.. DOH!

I've looked in index.php and the code is there!

<div class="line"></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
</div>

<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I know I'm a dumbarse but what have I done wrong??

You didn't do anything wrong, there never were previous/next navigation links on the index, there usually isn't, but they are appearing everywhere else they're supposed to appear.

Please update the blog to 2.0.3 and see if the problem still exists, it used to be a problem with 1.5 could be a problem with your version as well.

I can see a previous entries link on mine, I'll check and see if my code is any different and try to fix yours in the meantime.

I fixed it.

The proper code was this for the previous page of posts.

PHP Code:

<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php posts_nav_link('','','&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries &raquo;','') ?></div>
</div>

It probably never worked on your homepage before.
