My site has only 1 latest post on homepage. When you click on “older posts” on homepage: http://dom.gowebgomobile.com/

it takes you to

http://dom.gowebgomobile.com/page/2/

but brings up the post title from

http://dom.gowebgomobile.com/1368/imagine-happiness/

I need the “older posts” link to go directly to: http://dom.gowebgomobile.com/1368/imagine-happiness/

not to:

http://dom.gowebgomobile.com/page/2/

Thanks so much. I love your themes.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Tess

    Thanks for your support.

    That’s unfortunately not possible without custom development. Influence does support WP Page Navi: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-pagenavi/. I don’t think it’ll solve your specific request but you’d be able to display a more advanced navigation using that plugin.

    You could also set your Settings > Reading settings to display more than one post per page and thereby remove the older posts link.

    Thanks Andrew. I might have to get someone to do some custom work. Do you have devs who can quote for work on Influence particularly? Is there a link I can go to?

    Really appreciate your help.

    I’ll also try Wp Page navi.

    I’ll put this as resolved.

    Can you tell me how to remove the post navigation altogether? I don’t seem to have got it right with my CSS.

    I’ll try just linking manually since none of the plugins seem to work. thanks so much for your help.

    Hi, I Work Here

    https://codeable.io/ would be our recommendation for custom development work.

    There unfortunately isn’t yet a theme setting to remove post navigation. You can however hide it using CSS. Insert the following into a Custom CSS plugin like Simple Custom CSS:

    /* Influence Remove Post Navigation */
    
    .site-content .site-navigation.paging-navigation { display: none; }

    Thanks very much Andrew, that code worded perfectly.

    I also asked the wordpress.org support forum about the post question above and they said this is what they suggested (in case someone else has the same question).

    “You may need to set your home as single post for this

    It require a custom page template with a custom query to call the single post

    The template can really be a copy of index.php, or one of your other templates with the header on it
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates

    Then a query calling to the one post
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts

    or possibly just adding a query to index.php wrapped in a conditional
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_front_page
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

    Thanks for your help.

    PS thanks for the tip for Codeable.io

    I’ll definitely check them out.

    This is resolved.
