Delete 3rd page of posts

    So far I have 10 posts per page. And 2 pages for 20 posts. But now WordPress has automatically added a page 3 for more posts, which I want to delete. I have what looks like the code for it on the main index template, but can’t find out anywhere what to do with that code to delete page 3.

    <?php endif; ?>
<div id="nextprevious">
<div class="alignleft"><?php posts_nav_link('','','&laquo; PREVIOUS ENTRIES') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php posts_nav_link('','NEXT ENTRIES &raquo;','') ?></div>
</div>
</div></div> <!-- Closes Content -->

    Can anyone help please? Thanks very much.

    Typically, WordPress does the pagination based on the number of posts that you have written.

    But wouldn’t that be tremendously unwieldy? And repetitive? 300 posts would mean 30 extra pages and all those posts are already listed in the archives. Plus I’m considering adding a category list. Plus an index.

    Are you saying there is absolutely no way to cut off the post pages at two pages for a total of 20 posts?

    Nope, didn’t say that…you’d need to put a if test around your next_posts_link to stop after so many pages. Here’s an example using the index.php from the WordPress Default theme show such a test:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
if ($paged < 2) {
?>
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
<?php } // if $paged<=2 ?>
