 * Hi.
 * I am having issues trying to view older posts on my website.
 * Here is the URL.
 * [http://north-uist-medical.co.uk/wordpress/news-and-views/practice-news/](http://north-uist-medical.co.uk/wordpress/news-and-views/practice-news/)
 * I have used some code to enable posts to be made on two different pages on the
   site – ‘practice news’ and ‘clinical views.’
 * When the posts get above the maximum display number ‘previous’ and ‘next’ appear
   at the bottom of the post – but they don’t work.
 * I have searched the forums and found advice to add this code….
 *     ```
       <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
             query_posts("category_name=XXX&paged=$paged"); ?>
       ```
   
 * But it does not seem to work for me or i am putting it in the wrong place?
 * My code is…
 *     ```
       <div id="main">
       	<div id="content">
   
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
       		<?php the_content(); ?>
       	<?php endwhile; else: endif; ?>
       <?php query_posts('category_name='.get_the_title().'&post_status=publish,future');?>
   
        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
       	<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
               <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?>. </small>
       	<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
       	<?php endwhile; else: endif; ?>
   
       		<?php posts_nav_link('','&laquo; previous','next &raquo;'); ?>
       	</div>
       ```
   
 * I would be very grateful for any help.
