Yeah, I hit the same barrier. The solution would be to detect that condition (for example, by saving the hyperlink to a variable instead of printing it, then using strpos() to find /page/) and if the link doesn’t have the /page/ string, then appending it manually. It’s hell, I know. Another alternative would be to write a plugin that modified the output of the next/previous entries hyperlinks.

hats off to you both for doing brilliant work! i’m a newbie trying to clean up basic code for my site, and so far, there’s only one glitch that i can’t seem to work through.

i have the same “next/previous entries” links at the footer of my site. if i’m at /page/1/ of my blog, it’s no problem. but when i’m on /page/2/ and i click on the “next entries” link, it goes to, predictably, my static “home” page, and not back to /page/1/ as i would like it. i know this has something to do with wordpress code, but i’m still trying to figure that out.

any pointers?
