with this

PHP Code:

$image_category_all       .= "<a href='".PHP_SELF."browse/category/$cat_id'>" .$cfgrow['catgluestart'] .$name .$cfgrow['catglueend']."</a> &nbsp;";
$image_category_all_paged .= "<a href='".PHP_SELF."/browse/category/$cat_id/1'>" .$cfgrow['catgluestart'] .$name .$cfgrow['catglueend']."</a> &nbsp;"; 


Also I noticed on your site, that the 'browse' page is not using mod_rewrite URLs. You need to replace your paged_archive.php addon with the one provided in the ZIP file. And then make sure using ADMIN interface that mod_rewrite URLs are enabled in the ADDON section.

Don't worry about hack index.php I just reuploaded the paged_archive.php and enabled the mod_rewrite and ALL IS OK, I don't need to hack the index.php.

I was using the first version of your template

Many thanks for your quickly answer

usually the problem you are describing has nothing to do with the .htaccess file. that usually happens if you have your SITE URL in the ADMIN options set incorrectly.

but without a link to your blog, its impossible to guess what the problem might be...

Apologies, my mistake.
Site is here.
Got the template working for the front page, but the other pages aren't. The addon is installed and on, so I'm not sure why it's not working correctly.

When you receive a 404 error on a mod_rewrite URL, its because the htaccess file is not working.

the file starts with a dot `.htaccess` and should placed in the root of the pixelpost installation.

if the pixelpost document root was /home/ppuser/htdocs/photoblog, the file should be /home/ppuser/htdocs/photoblog/.htaccess

Also in order to use .htaccess files, Apache has to be configured "AccessFileName" option (apache 2.0 docs) and have mod_rewrite installed. You will have to verify with your hosting company if they allow htaccess files and mod_rewrite. (almost all do)

Also the template is designed for photos sized 720px width max, if you want to use larger sizes, you need to replace all occurrences of 720px in the CSS file with whatever size you want to use.
