Well, I don’t know if it says it *literally* but that’s what I got from it. Its over here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/wp_get_archives and where it says “Displays archive list of the last twenty most recent posts listed by post title.” the phrase “…by post title” means alphabetically to me.

I’ll try out your code by the way.
[edit] the -1 thing didn’t work, got an error. So I just changed it to 20000. Figure that should keep me safe.

Excuse me for bumping, but what does “drop all tables” mean? Not being a technowhiz, this sounds like something uncomfortable you accidentally do to your foot when moving furniture from house to house.

I decided to just can the whole thing with the Previous Posts> thing by deleting any reference to it in the code and I decided to hard code html links to the previous and next posts at the bottom of the posts themselves. Not exactly art, but it works.

I put that snippet of code in index.php of my theme and it displayed the first post on the main page but produced some odd side effects.

One of them was, even though it is the first post, it had under it a link to click for “previous posts”. Not “next posts” which would be logical.

The other thing was when you clicked “previous posts” the link was www.example.org/index.php/page/2/ which is just weird. You can click it but you just get the same post, but you’re on /page/2/ clicking it again takes you to /3/ etc. just into infinity, but always the same thing.

You know, this forum would be a lot more helpful if people actually helped rather than redirected.

Thanks for nothing. I guess I’ll search again, even though I already have.

By the way, if anyone has an <i>actual</i> reply, I’d like to hear it.
