  • It doesn’t appear to have the naviation code included. You can try adding this:

    <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>

    This code came direct from WP 2.2.1 default search.php file.

    and what about the posts_nav_link function. can it not be used..

    I have no idea. The code I gave you should be included in the search.php file.

    After re-reading your post I am guessing you are having trouble with your index.php file?

    You said:

    “I am not able to display the prev posts and next posts on the search pages etc.”

    So, the above code I gave you would display the “Next Entries” and “Previous Entries” on any section you want it displayed on. It should be found in your index.php, search.php as well as single.php file… possibly even a few others, but I can’t think of them off hand.

    If you can’t navigate to next and previous pages, then to me that’s a problem. I have downloaded the theme you are referring to and I am not very familiar with it. I tend to stay very close to the default theme in regards to coding. There are tons of themes out there the cause people to run into trouble just like you are experiencing. As I had mentioned above, try adding that code into your index.php file and if it doesn’t work, then remove it and ask the creator of the theme for help. This isn’t a WordPress issue it is a design issue.

    Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
