Index Previous Entries Link Broken

A search on “cgi-system” (eventually) finds this post:

Someone posted the solution and it worked.

“basically, change the line

$index = $_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_NAME’];
in the file:
wp-includes/template-functions-links.php
to:
$index = $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’];”

The problem that you are mentioning was ultimately solved by release v1.5.1.1. You should upgrade as soon as possible.

Actually, I’m on 2.0.3, and getting the same problem of a 404 error on any Previous Entries link.

I too, just noticed that my previous entries link is hosed, and I’m running 2.0.2 at the moment.

OK, I do need some help with this, as I cannot get the Previous Entries link to work (currently have WP 2.0.2 installed). I thought it was a conflict with Ultimate Tag Warrior, but that doesn’t seem to be it. If it’s as something as simple as an upgrade, I’m on it.

My blog home is in root, though the WordPress directory is in a subdirectory. I have a section called “News and Notes” that serves as the blog. Every other section of the site works as it should, but the Paging system for archives seems to be borked. You can see for yourself if you go to https://www.masugadesign.com/news-and-notes/ that the “Previous Entries” link at the bottom points to: https://www.masugadesign.com/news-and-notes/page/2/, which results in a 404. I think I might be missing some rule in my htaccess file or something, but I’m not sure. Does anyone have a suggstion? Thanks!

Figured that out. I was using query_posts which was overriding pagination. The solution is in this post.
