Next/Previous Posts Links don't work [WordPress]

Hi guys,

I’m having a tiny issue with WordPress that I can’t figure out… I just have 7 posts in the Blog Template page and I’m using this code – http://pastie.org/860191

I use query_post to show only the latest 4 posts from the category 6 but when I click the Next Posts link it shows the same 4 posts (not the rest of the posts) and the weird thing is that it shows this path blog/page/2 but I can’t see the others posts.

Here’s the page code http://pastie.org/860191 , there’s any errors in it? Am I missing something?

when you use query_posts, you need to hold the original query on a variable, then use a temp variable to hold the new query, and at the end, restore the original query…. or, use a reset query at the end: wp_reset_query();

Just like this:

<?php //The Query

query_posts('posts_per_page=5');

//The Loop

if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

 ..

endwhile; else:

 ..

endif;

//Reset Query

wp_reset_query();

?>

Maybe is that.

Here:

Shouldn’t the ‘navigation’ div with next/previous posts link be before endwhile?

You need to declare that the template is paged. See http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2008/04/19/paging-and-custom-wordpress-loops/ this uses WP_query though but it can give you the overall idea.

also you should take this into consideration:
