I’m having an issue with a site’s pagination links. Pagination is displaying just fine, but when clicked, returns a blank page. I’ve read through the forums and thinking this could possibly be an .htaccess thing with removing index.php. I didn’t originally set the site up, so I have absolutely no clue the method in which index.php is being removed and how to move forward to get this fixed.

Please Help!

Here is what is in the .htaccess file:

<Files npamc>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

DirectoryIndex npamc index index.php index.shtml index.html index.htm


Redirect 301 /npamc/issues/npamc-blog/ <a href="http://alcoholandcrime.org/npamc/blog">http://alcoholandcrime.org/npamc/blog</a>

And here is my EE stuff:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="whats-new" orderby="date" sort="dec" limit="5" paginate="bottom" disable="categories|category_fields|member_data|trackbacks" rdf="off" dynamic="off"}
{whats_new_date}

<b><a href="http://{whats_new_link}" target="_blank" rel="noopener">{title}</a></b>

{whats_new_intro }
{paginate}
Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links}
{/paginate}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Hi emarketingJed,

Welcome to the forums. Has there been a recent change to your server? Looking at the docs here it looks like you are using the third method for renaming your index.php file. Could you try the other two listed there.

remove from your .htaccess file

SetHandler application/x-httpd-php

and replace with

AcceptPathInfo on
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP

If the above does not work try this.

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

If this still does not work, please get back to me with what version of EE you are on and any add-ons that you are using which may be affecting pagination.

Sean.

Hi Sean,

Thanks so much for your reply. It’s very much appreciated. There hasn’t been a change to the server that I am aware of.

I tried both of your changes above, with no luck. No visible change at all.

This particular install is running EE v1.6.6. Also, no add-ons really other than Freeform. Not evening using Pages

Obviously an upgrade to EE 2 may work, and I normally work in EE2, but this client (being a non-profit) hasn’t budgeted for an upgrade at this time. Would love to get this working. I’m stumped!

Hi emarketingJed,

Can you create a new template group. In the index template of that group add your weblog entries tag with the pagination and nothing else

Share the link back here with us and whether you experience the same behavior?

Hi John,

Thanks for your help.

The behavior is a little different now. Instead of navigating to a blank page, the pagination links stay on the same page, but the URL in the address bar is different and keeps adding segments.

Hi Jed,

Just for the sake of troubleshooting, could you completely disable your .htaccess file and add index.php back into the URI? Then test out your pagination again. Something squirrelly is going on, and removing those elements will help us get a clearer picture, if not solve the problem outright.
