Next Page link at the bottom

I was sort of wondering the same thing. How can you get it to kick to a second page after so many blog entrys? So that your main page isnt 15 miles long? I looked through the template tags link, but I cant tell what most of those do.

I set the number of posts to display at 5.
I added the above code to my “index.php” and placed it outside the Loop.
I get a black dot.
How does this code work? You still just get 5 posts to your page. There is no “Next Page” to go to.
I’ld like this feature but I’m not an expert with this. More help please…
TIA

tia=Thanks in Advance!
I have the code and the CSS. Thanks.
I want to know what the purpose of the page number is if there are no pages for it to point to.
If you specify, under options, that you only want 5 posts to show up on the page then that’s all there is. There isn’t a second page to go to.
What is the purpose of this?
TIA

hi TIA,
that only works if you have more then just 5 stories.
for myself i just set it to 3 to activate its working….otherwise it doesnt show…
so to try it out yourself…if you have 5 stories….set it 3 and you see that the last 2 are on the next page…
but because you keep on posting stories ….the ammount of stories grows !
then you may decide to set it to 10.
that means that you get 10 stories on your index ,and then the link next page will appear.

Hi, I pasted the code.
Under
“Reading Options > Show the most recent X posts”
I set the value to 2 posts. I Have 6 posts. This would break the pages.
But still I can’t get the links at the bottom of the page. Just a black dot now.
Any clue? Is It something missing?

i’m searching the same thing! i looked through the template tags link too, but without results… ??
if anyone knows…. ??

This help ?

thank you for the link podz!
i’ve seen on your blog you have links “other posts” at the bottom in the frontpage, it’s what i want!

podz can you tell me how put links “older posts” (not other posts hmm lol) and “newer posts”, and link for each page (previous <1, 2, 3, 4,… >next)?
or where can i find this?
thank you in advance! ??

<?php if ($single) { ?>
<div class="cent">
<?php previous_post("%", "", "yes", "no", 1, "") ?>
> > || <a href="https://www.tamba2.org.uk/T2" title="Home">Home</a> || < <<?php next_post("%", "", "yes", "no", 1, "") ?>

</div>

<div class="post">

That appears in ‘index.php’ and the last line there just illustrates the code position.

That help ?

it not working :
“Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENDFOREACH in /var/www/free.fr/b/b/zeraw07/index.php on line 64”
but i’ve yet tried this, it worked but it put links in posts, but not in the frontpage, i believe?

thank you podz, i’ve found what i wanted here :
