How do I auctomatically set new posts to go to another page?

Hi

I use wordpress for my website design and I was wondering how I could automatically set wordpress to allow a maximum of 10 posts on a page and put the 11th post in another page.

Many Thanks

 

It does that by default

 

I thought it would, but the Previous and Next page buttons do not appear at the bottom of the page for some reason. Could there be a missing code somewhere?

 

Look under Settings->Reading once you've logged in as Admin.

 

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong in the 'Reading' section:

Blog pages show at most = 10 posts
Syndication feeds show the most recent = 10 posts

 

try reducing it to 9?

 

No unfortunately reducing it to 9 posts did not solve the problem.

 

Yes, it's probably a line missing in the index.php file. That was the case on one of the templates I used. Which template are you using?

 

I am using 'mts gossip' theme. What code do I need to add to the index.php file and where will I need to add the code?

Thanks

 

I couldn't find a 'mts gossip' theme but I've found a 'mts gossip rag' theme. Hopefully it's the same one. The 'mts gossip rag' theme doesn't have the next/previous links. You need to add this code to the index.php page:

<div class="alignleft"><?php posts_nav_link('','','&laquo; Previous Entries') ?>  </div>
<div class="alignright"><?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries &raquo;','') ?>    </div>

Code (markup):

Add it between line 42 (after the endif) and Line 43 (before the sidebar). Like this:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();  
      $loopcounter++; ?>          
<?php if ($loopcounter  == 1) { ?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/ads-content.php'); ?>         
<div class="entry">
  <div class="firstpost"><h2>
      <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
        <?php the_title(); ?></a>
      <a name="a" id="a" class="invisible"  title="Artikel"></a> </h2>
    <p class="postmeta">     
      <?php printf(__('%1$s %2$s', 'mtsgossip'), $time_since, get_the_time(__('l, F jS, Y', 'mtsgossip')), get_the_time()); ?>, 
      <?php _e('by','mtsgossip');?> 
      <?php the_author() ?>,
      <?php the_tags( '', ', ', ', '); ?> 
      <?php the_category(', ') ?>,
      <?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments','mtsgossip'), __('1 Comment','mtsgossip'), __('% Comments','mtsgossip'), '', __('Comments off','mtsgossip')); ?>
      <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit','mtsgossip'), '[ ', ' ]'); ?>
    </p>
    <?php the_content("&raquo;&raquo; " . the_title('', '', false)); ?>
    <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p class="navigate">' . __('Pages') . ' ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
  </div>
</div>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/ads-content.php'); ?>         
<div class="entry"><h2>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
      <?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit','mtsgossip'), '[ ', ' ]'); ?></h2>
  <p class="postmeta">     
    <?php printf(__('%1$s %2$s', 'mtsgossip'), $time_since, get_the_time(__('l, F jS, Y', 'mtsgossip')), get_the_time()); ?>, 
    <?php _e('by','mtsgossip');?> 
    <?php the_author() ?>, 
    <?php the_tags( '', ', ', ', '); ?> 
    <?php the_category(', ') ?>,
    <?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments','mtsgossip'), __('1 Comment','mtsgossip'), __('% Comments','mtsgossip'), '', __('Comments off','mtsgossip')); ?>
    <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit','mtsgossip'), '[ ', ' ]'); ?>
  </p>
  <?php the_content("&raquo;&raquo; " . the_title('', '', false)); ?>
  <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p class="navigate">' . __('Pages') . ' ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
</div>
<? }  endwhile; endif; ?>
[B]<div class="alignleft"><?php posts_nav_link('','','&laquo; Previous Entries') ?>  </div>
<div class="alignright"><?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries &raquo;','') ?>    </div>[/B]
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>	    
<?php get_footer(); ?> 

Code (markup):

That should do the trick

 

Thanks very much for your reply. Will try it out.
