Okay fixed the theme next/previous links: {{ $cleanContentNext := .NextPage.Content | plainify }} {{ if gt (len $cleanContentNext) 20 }} {{ printf "%.20s" $cleanContentNext }} {{ else }} {{ $cleanContentNext }} {{ end }} {{ end }} And the other problem seems to have been a category filter not having run through. There is no pagination, it just shows all the posts on one page. Which is fine for now.
