    on this page i’m using the code below to show the 25 most recent posts from category 4.

    <?php
$custom_query = new WP_Query( 'posts_per_page=25&cat=4' );
if ( $custom_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $custom_query->have_posts() ) : $custom_query->the_post(); ?>

<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<h6><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?></h6>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<hr class="homenews" />
<?php previous_posts_link('? Older Entries', 0) ?>
<?php endwhile; else : ?>

<h3>Sorry...</h3>
<p>No posts were found.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

    i thought this line of code <?php previous_posts_link('? Older Entries', 0) ?> would add a link to the bottom of the page that shows a link to previous entries but for some reason the link does not appear.

    please advise how I can get it to show. thanks in advance

    I think you need to use query_posts() instead of WP_Query and add the ‘paged’ argument to the query.

    based on what i read in another thread where they addressed this same issue, I would think the code below would work.

    but if you look on the page where i’m testing this code, i’m getting a parse error message.

    please advise. thanks.
