Oh sheesh, apparently I managed to skip over that last item on the help page. I didn’t realize that that was a shortcode setting. Yep, it works perfectly.

Thanks so much Katie!

No worries Katie. We can hack something together for the moment until it’s added.

I prefer not to mess with the plugin .js if I can help it, but I’m just adding this line at the end of the AJAX success in the shortcode.bib.js file:
jQuery("#"+$instance.attr("id")+" .zp-Entry").find("a").attr("target","_blank");

Seems to work for the time being.

Thanks for the super-quick response!

Since I posted the solution, we’ve moved to WordPress Mu and, strangely, still have this problem. It seems to only happen when I use an instance of WordPress on our servers. It happens with any theme I try, including the new ones for 3.0.

I made one additional tweak. By setting the max_page number high as I did in the example above, the older link would show up even if there weren’t any more entries. So you’d end up clicking on an “Older Posts” link that would be empty.

I worked around this by getting a count of the number of posts on a page. If that # of posts is greater than or equal to the max # of posts per page that I set in the WP options, then it will display the “older posts” link.

Here’s the example, where I have my posts per page set to 8.

<div class="navigation">
<?php
// Nav to handle error with display of old/new posts. Based on setting for number of posts, which is currently set at 8. If there are 8 posts, then displays the "Older" link, other hides it by limiting max_pages to 1.
count($posts);
if (count($posts) > 7) {
?>
	<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Posts', '1000') ?></div>
<?php
} else {
?>
	<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Posts', '1') ?></div>
<?php
// End of navigation hack
}
?>
	<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Posts &raquo;', '1000') ?></div>
</div>

This is a bit of a hack and will still display if there’s exactly 8 entries on that page (even if there’s no older posts), so it’s not perfect. But in case it’s helpful for anyone else, I wanted to share.

And if someone has a more sophisticated way to do this properly, I’m all ears!

I finally figured this out. I tried doing a completely different install of WordPress in a new location on our server and had the exact same problem with the pagination links not showing up.

It was as if next_posts_link and previous_post_link weren’t functioning.

Finally, I figured out a simple fix after looking at the next_posts_link template page on the WordPress codex.

It turns out I had to specifiy a max_page number even though you shouldn’t have to. Some wonky thing with my server? I have no idea, but it finally worked! I changed it to a large arbitrary number – in this case 1000

<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries', '1000') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;', '1000') ?></div>
		</div>

henkholland – thanks for trying to help.

No idea if this affects other users. Perhaps I should file a bug?

Bumping this up in case anyone else has ideas.

Tinkered around with re-uploading some files with no luck…

Whoa, slow down there. It’s free software–there’s a great community around WordPress but you can’t expect that you’ll get answers in seconds.

I’m not expert so I can’t help much, but have your searched through previous posts for answers? Here’s one I found with a quick search:

Thanks, but alas no luck. I tried a default theme (as well as a couple others) and there was no change.

Also tried adjusting the permalinks and no change there either. It’s baffling.

I believe they were working before, but it’s possible that we just didn’t have enough posts where I would notice.

Anyone else experienced this? Next/prev works on the single.php page.

Hi henkholland,

Thanks for the response. We’ve left the default # of posts at 10. The navigation should appear on the main page as well as at least one of the category pages.

If you look at the source, you’ll see the navigation <div> is there, but it’s blank — the PHP isn’t working for some reason…

Any ideas?

UPDATE – Looks like the bug was fixed with version 4.18, which was released a couple days ago.

Thanks for fixing this Subscribe2 folk(s)!

I’m having the same problem as galbaras. Despite the settings page having “Show Author” selected as the from email, the email notifications about posts are coming from “admin”

I may try hacking the code to fix this, but I’m no expert. Would love to see a fix of this if it is indeed a bug. (This is version 4.17)
