    Xavier Faraudo says:

    Normally, this problem is related to badly constructed query.
    You must pass the get_query_var( 'paged' ) arg as the paged arg of your query, something like this:
    $posts = query_posts( $query_string . '&paged=' . get_query_var( 'paged' ) );

    Or also

    $posts = query_posts( array( 'paged' => get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) );

    It'd help a lot if you wrote the code for the Loop present in your Page, index.php or home.php template.
    It's quite possible that you should pass the posts_per_page arg.

    Without knowing a little more about your theme and the code of the template, I'm afraid I cannot help much more.

      Look for this piece:

      <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>


      It should be:

      
<?php query_posts( array( 'posts_per_page' => get_query_var( 'posts_per_page' ), 'paged' => get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ); ?>

      The param/arg showposts is deprecated, it's been substituted by posts_per_page.
      This forced 5 posts per page, whatever you set in the settings. With this fix, it will take the value you set in the settings.

      Xavier Faraudo says:

      Corrigenda: I wrote "take the value you set in the settings" when it's actually the value passed by the query var. If the query var for the number of posts is empty, it'll take the option value. Anyway, you can specify it to be 'posts_per_page' => get_option( 'posts_per_page' ) to take directly the option value, or just 5 for 5 posts (or whatever other number).
      Sorry for this mistake, I was thinking too much in the paged issue.

      Xavier Faraudo says:

      Also, as for why you should NOT, NEVER use "showposts", you can look at [LINK href="http://lists.automattic.com/pipermail/wp-hackers/2010-July/033082.html"]this thread in the wp-hackers list[/LINK].
      That code from weblogtoolscollection is severely outdated and you should not use it.

    Hi.

    You must replace the line 

    query_posts( 'showposts=1&cat=' . $mim_feature );


    with

    			query_posts(
    
				array_merge(
    
					array('cat' => $mim_feature,'showposts' => 1),
    
					$wp_query->query
    
				)

    Your biggest problem is that you have 3 main post queries running on the same page:

    <?php
    

    
		//Interacts with control panel to determine lead category
    

    
			$bm_categories = get_categories('hide_empty=0');
    

    
			$mim_feature = get_settings( "mim_feature" );
    

    
			if( $mim_feature == 0 ) { $mim_feature = $bm_categories[ 0 ]->cat_ID; }
    

    
			query_posts( 'showposts=1&cat=' . $mim_feature );
    

    
		 	while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 
    

    
		?>



    
        <div id="recent">
    

    
		<h3>Recent <span>Stories</span></h3>
    

    
		<ul>
    

    
		<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
    

    
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    

    
			<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    

    
		<?php endwhile; ?>
    

    
		</ul>
    

    
	</div>



    
    <div id="content" style="padding-top:30px;">
    

    
		
    

    
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    

    

    

    
			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" style="margin-bottom:30px;">
    

    
				
    

    
                <div class="commentcount" style="font-size:10px;"><?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?></div>



    When you click on a page link, only the first query is getting invoked.
