Next/Previous Post Buttons Stopped Working

[paulag01]

Hi there,

A ways back I solved my sidebars problem at this post:

Choosing different sidebar for home page (latest posts)

What I just realized though - is that the Home Page no longer has the "previous" and "next" buttons working. They work on the "blog" page but not the home page.

Is there a way I can fix this given the bit odd setup we have here?

Thanks in advance.

The link to your site above doesn't work. It adds http://www.http to the beginning of your url.

Despite the error above, I still got to your page and the issue seems to be related to your permalinks. In the home page, the next page link is http://socialmediajustforwriters.com/page/2/. On the blog page, the next page link is http://socialmediajustforwriters.com/blog/page/2/. The home page link is broken because it is missing the /blog/ slug. Resave your permalinks and make sure that the /blog/ (category?) is added to the permalinks.

I think the reason it is missing the "blog" slug is because the home page is - Home (which uses the Blog Template to show the latest posts)

And the latest posts - is the "Blog" page, also using blog template.

I believe the problem lies in the fact that there are essentially 2 blog "latest posts" pages and the one is an offshoot of home (root), the other from the blog (thus why the /blog IS where the posts live).

So is there some code I can put in for the previous/next links in functions.php or somewhere that will test if it is the home page, then do this with the previous/next links so the /blog part appears?
