"older entries" loading the same page

[aretzer]

When I click "older entries" on the homepage it just loads the same page again... it doesn't give the next 5 posts. How can I get that link to work correctly, ie. load the next posts back in time chronologically? http://mykidlist.com

Thanks!

Can someone please help me? I'm still having the same problem and have not been able to figure it out.

As I don't have seen this issue at any of my sites, I can't help you with a specific solution. But you can try to follow the general debugging steps:
- go at Settings -> Permalinks and re-save permalinks (just hit the save button without any change) - this will ensure that your permalinks are correctly settled and interpreted.
- you have included your sharing links in a table, BUT to align this table, you used <p style="text-align:center";>yourtable</p>. Replace the p with a div (<div style="text-align:center;">yourtable</div>) because is not correct to include a table inside an inline element.
- finally, if the previous steps don't help, disable your plugins and re-enable them one-by-one, testing which one break the right behavior of links.

Thanks for giving me suggestions. I did all of the things on your list and unfortunately it still isn't working.
Do you know where else I should look for an answer?

Now your "older/newer" links works as expected, what is the problem?

I went to Settings->Reading and chose "Your latest posts" instead of "A static page". I'm not really happy about it because I have a page called "home" with the Pages of Posts template where it shows the latest 5 entries as excerpts... that's how I had my front page (and that's how I want it to be displayed), but that's the only way I could find to fix the "older entries" link. With the latest posts displayed, it shows each post in its entirety. So it must have something to do with the static page selection in the reading settings? Any thoughts?

You can have the same settings now, because "Latest Posts" basically is a "Page of Posts". Go to Suffusion Options -> Layouts -> Front / Blog Page Views and set it to show excerpts, then format those excerpts at Suffusion Options -> Layouts -> Layout Excerpt/List/Mosaic/Tiles/Full.
