Thank you very much for such a quick response, although this has not solved my problem. I found an plugin Catagory Page configured the settings, but still to no success so I decided to see if it was my theme, I changed to the default WordPress template and it worked.
I was curious (as I am a not experienced in PHP and WordPress) if it would help if i provided the code for my page.php and my archive.php that you may be able to help me. My theme is the BlackPower theme.
Page.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post-page" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2 class="page_title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="entry entry_page">
<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page »</p>'); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<br /><p>', '</p>'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Archive.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $i=0; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $i++; ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="post-top">
<div class="post-title">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to
<?php if ( function_exists('the_title_attribute')) the_title_attribute(); else the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<h3>
Posted by <span><?php the_author() ?></span> | Posted in <span><?php the_category(', ') ?></span> | Posted on <?php the_time('d-m-Y') ?>
</h3>
</div>
<h4><?php comments_number('0', '1', '%'); ?></h4>
</div>
<div class="entry">
<?php if($i==1 || $i==2) : ?>
<?php theme_google_468_ads_show(); ?>
<? endif; ?>
<?php the_content('',FALSE,''); ?>
</div>
<div class="postmetadata">
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Continue Reading</a></p>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="entry">
<?php theme_google_468_ads_show(); ?>
</div>
<div class="navigation">
<?php if(!function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) : ?>
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('Previous') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next') ?></div>
<?php else : wp_pagenavi(); endif; ?>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andrew
