Manage > posts subpanel help

The purpose for this is because we work on a radio show and need to view all guests that are on their own post page instead of having to search for each one, say an alphabetical list would work too, but the ‘view next 15’ would probably be the best option.

I did see this page while googling, and for some reason I don’t have the ‘previous entries’ button on my subpanel. Would this have to do with a template?

Okay, so after working on this issue for one lovely hour I did find a workaround until I can figure out why the previous page ect is not showing. I was able to find this section of edit.php:

wp("what_to_show=posts$post_status_q&posts_per_page=500&order=$order&orderby=$orderby");

The original setting of posts_per_page was 15. I changed it to 500 so that I see all posts.

I was also able to find this part in edit.php:

<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link(__('&laquo; Previous Entries')) ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link(__('Next Entries &raquo;')) ?></div>
</div>

Which looks like it should display the navigation links. For some reason it doesn’t. It does look like it tries though, because there are two blank lines at the bottom of the post list, there is just nothing in them.

Here is the code in my edit.php, and the posts_nav_link I found in another help ticket, but it produces the same result. Any help would be appreciated.

Should be below here
<div class=”navigation”>

This is a test of posts_nav_link:
<p><?php posts_nav_link(‘ or ‘, ‘You can go back
to the previous page’, ‘you can go
forward to the next page’); ?>.</p>

This is a test of the original code nex_posts_link:
<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(__(‘« Previous Entries’)) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(__(‘Next Entries »’)) ?></div>
</div>
