Archive view displays two pages of posts MAXIMUM

    For the past year or so (I hadn’t noticed it at first), I’ve used variations on the Default theme, and more recently Blix & Brajeshwar, and come upon a reoccurring problem. For ANY archive display, be it category, tag or month/date, I can only reach two pages’ worth of posts. I get one “Previous Posts” link on the first page, and a “Next Posts” on the second page — NO MATTER HOW MANY POSTS THERE ARE.

    I’ve kept my blog since 2001 and have over 1700 posts, so unless it’s a very, very new tag, almost anything you click on should have more than two pages’ worth of posts. At times, it won’t even display more than ONE pages’ worth.

    As an experiment, I installed the newest K2 theme (0.95 RC1) today, and it shows everything properly.

    My question is this: am I basically limited to K2-based themes now? Is there some larger glitch I’m hanging up because of the number of posts I’m managing? Has anyone else experienced a problem like this?

    I hope this provides enough information, it’s a very strange problem and I couldn’t find anything comparable in these forums…. I’ve put my theme back to Blix (not modified in any way that would affect the display) so people can see what I’m talking about.

    Examples:

    Tag “site updates”, 91 posts:
    https://www.hoshichan.com/tag/site-updates/ (only one page displays, no back links)

    Month November 2005, 16-17 posts (3 pages’ worth):
    https://www.hoshichan.com/2005/11/ (only two pages display)

    Category “Life”, almost all posts (well over 1000):
    https://www.hoshichan.com/category/life/ (only one page displays, no back links)

    Any help would be appreciated, thank you!!

    Um, can I assume from the enormous response that my problem is unsolvable? ^^;;

    Have you checked the navigation code from your theme against code of K2 theme? Have you read the wordpress codex?

    The K2 system uses “rolling archive”, something I don’t quite understand. The themes I’ve tried all use the default configuration of previous_post_link(). I might add that this tag/theme/configuration works on several other blogs I host on the same server, it just seems to be this one that’s faulty.

    Thank you for the link, but as all of the themes (save K2) I have installed show that exact format (and I haven’t altered any of them, regarding that tag), it doesn’t help much, I’m afraid….

    I had the very same problem. I wasn’t sure what caused it, but I did manage to put in some tags that made them work correctly. This is what I use now:

    <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 class="clear"></div>
    </div>

    I also use the plugin page-navi https://www.lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-pagenavi.html which gives an additional paged display like this: Pages (17): [1] 2 3 4 ? … Last ?

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you faustina, that was PRECISELY what I was hoping for. Great, can’t wait to try both! ??

    It appears that the main hangup is that I was displaying last # DAYS, as opposed to POSTS, in my WP Options -> Reading tab. Now that it’s posts, it works like a champ.
