@Min Min- max_num_pages is calculated using those variables, so you should be fine comparing it it to 1.

@Tracy - Sounds like a WordPress issue, not something caused by this code. It could be any number of things...

@Jeff - good catch, thanks! I've updated the post with the correction.

Don't you want to update archive.php not archives.php? Just curious. That might confuse folks too.

Very helpful code. But for some reason, when I click on older entries, none of the posts show up! Help?

Hi,
Good job!
However, you have hardcoded the max_num_pages to compare with 1.
At my site learn chinese online, I have used Custom Post Limits plugin from http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/custom-post-limits/ where it allows users to define the limits for front page, categories, archives,etc.

Currently I fixed the limits to a certain value and compare max_num_pages with that value.

Does anyone know how to get the dynamic limits for each of those different sections?

What CyruzDraxs said - is there any chance that you would be kind enough to do a version for the fancy new comments system?

@Wisam - sounds like you need to do some custom coding in your functions.php file to handle that.

@Marcy - were you able to get it working? Checked out your site - you do nice work!

@CyruzDraxs - sorry, this is just for posts, not comments.

@fyodor - Haha - glad you didn't throw it out ;) If you look at the second section of code, you'll see where each part (prev, next) are being called.

does this code pull "newer posts" nav and "older posts" nav seperately? as in, if i have older posts but not newer, will it only display an older posts nav, etc?
