This is a follow-up from a question previously asked on wordpress.org.

I have a site (wheretofeed.com) and I created a child there so that I could edit blog-excerpt.php to allow for a single category to be displayed. I changed the code, in line with Emil's suggestion, which was to replace the following section in blog-excerpt.php:

<?php if ( get_query_var('paged') ) $paged = get_query_var('paged'); elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) $paged = get_query_var('page'); else $paged = 1; query_posts("post_type=post&paged=$paged"); ?> with :

<?php if ( get_query_var('paged') ) $paged = get_query_var('paged'); elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) $paged = get_query_var('page'); else $paged = 1; query_posts( array ( // category name 'category_name' => 'featured', // number of posts 'posts_per_page' => 3 ) ); ?> This worked, but it had the side effect of only showing the last three posts: that is to say, it didn't offer any pagination type links to the remaining posts. The "Older Posts" and "Newer Posts" hyperlinks at the bottom didn't help either. I am stuck with viewing the last three posts unless I go in via the Archives function.

Is it possible to achieve the "1 2 3 Next" type links at the bottom of the page, with 3 results per page (i.e. whatever number is assigned to 'posts_per_page').

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
