    Hello,

    I use the Midnight Child Theme for my blog, and managed to make the front page display the latest posts. However, when I click "Older Posts" at the bottom, while the URL changes to "/page/2/", the posts displaying are the same as on the front page. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Site is thedesertlynx.com.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    How are your reading settings configured? It appears are you using a blog page template and then setting that to be the static front-page under reading settings? If you are older/newer doesn't work on pages.

    That is correct. How can I get older/newer to work with a similar configuration? The Midnight Theme default posts page is pure rubbish.

    It doesn't look like the Midnight theme is still available so I can't look at it's default. How is the posts page different?

    Check out the demo. This is the posts/home page, which actually doesn't seem to function as a proper posts page at all:

    There's a few things you could do, but perhaps the simplest would be to rename the home.php file in your theme folder. Then set your reading settings to display latest posts and see if it doesn't look the same as it does now.

    Let me know.

    Changing the home.php file worked for me too (family tree theme).  Thanks!
