Page 2,3 etc.. in blog redirecting to homepage

Does your index.php file use a custom query? If so, you need to modify it to include the paged variable – eg:

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
	'category_name' => 'News',
	'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
?>

Aghh thanks. Yep it is, I’m pulling in blog posts and thumbnails. Cheers for that ??

Sorry it isnt. It only has the regular

<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php endwhile; else :  endif; ?>

i thought you were talking about my homepage.php page.

Your blog page should be using the theme’s index.php template file. I’ve just checked your Blog page and the page 2, 3 etc seem to be working.

Yeah I fixed it. It was a problem with a function. I was excluding a portfolio category , but now that wp3 is out I moved to custom post types and I removed the function to exclude the category.

Thanks anyway.

I actually have the same problem. The next page (next_post_link) is redirecting me to index.php template. Can you explain further in specific how u are able to solve the problem? Sorry I’m new to wordpress and can’t quite understand your solution to the problem. Below is the code I use

<?php

							$wp_query = new WP_Query();

							$wp_query->query('category_name=nail-salon&showposts=1&order=ASC'.'&paged='.$paged);
						?>

                        <?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>

                        <?php the_content(); ?>

                       		<div style="clear:right;"></div>

                        	<br /><br />

  							<div class="float-right" style="margin-left:10px;"><p><?php next_posts_link('More &raquo;') ?></p></div>
                            <div class="float-right"><p><?php previous_posts_link('&laquo; Previous') ?></p></div>

                        <?php endwhile;?>
