Revert to Twenty Eleven theme and see if it works.
Yes, with Twenty Eleven it does work, that’s why I guess it’s a template problem, but unfortunately I’m not free to choose the template, I was just told to use this one.
Download a fresh copy of the Path theme and replace the theme you were on and see if it works.
My copy of the Path theme is fresh enough 🙂 , I downloaded and installed it just 2 days ago.
The problem should be in loop-nav.php, which generates that part of the page.

Did you edit it?
In anyway, what is the harm in using a fresh copy considering that even the two-day old copy can be corrupt or incomplete installation?
No, I didn’t edit it (I just edited the css).
I’ve just reinstalled it on a local copy of the site but the problem is not solved yet.
I suppose the problem is in that file because I see it creates the button tags “Previous” and “Next” at the end of the page.

At the end of the page or posts? If it is the latter, that is how it is designed to work, I think.
Anyway, if you edit the theme, create a child theme, otherwise you will lose all modifications when the theme updates next or a fresh copy has to be replaced to troubleshoot.
It’s just before the end of the “content” div: I have a list of October posts and at the bottom the “Next” and the “2” buttons: they work.
But when from page 2 I want to go back to page 1 (both with “Previous” or “1”) it messes up the link.
There’s definitely something wrong in the template, my local directory is called “wordpress342” (localhost/wordpress342) and the function renames it to “wordpress341” if I go back or “wordpress343” if i go beyond the 2nd page. Twentyeleven works just fine with the very same settings…
Here’s the October link

I’ve just setted the permalinks as follows:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
so you can see what happens when you try to go back (or forth, if there were more than just 2 pages).
By the way, I just realized it’s not a problem with archives, but with all the “previous-next” navigation buttons, also in the homepage. “Fortunately”, I’m having this specific problem only on my local copy because of the directory name (so for example for page 5 the directory is renamed from wordpress342 to wordpress345!).
I had to reset the permalinks option to default this morning on the main site; maybe I’m going to create a test subdomain to see if I get out of this nasty problem…
The problem’s solved, it was actually a bug, I received an answer here in the Path section
path forum
Thanks to all.
