wp paginate...

[NUGFX]

Feel like a noob here, but does anyone no how to get the page paginate to work on wordpress default theme twentyeleven? ive tried almost everything and its not working for me and i dunno why, ive played with the functions.php file added custom php, installed plugins and still nothing, ive never used the default theme before so any help would be great.

here is the functions.php code i have changed to get pagenavi working

function twentyeleven_content_nav( $nav_id ) {
global $wp_query;

if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
<nav id="<?php echo $nav_id; ?>">
<h3 class="assistive-text"><?php _e( 'Post navigation', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>
<div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> Older posts', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?></div>
<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?></div>
</nav><!-- #nav-above -->
<?php endif;
}

to

function twentyeleven_content_nav( $nav_id ) {
global $wp_query;

if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
<nav id="<?php echo $nav_id; ?>">
<h3 class="assistive-text"><?php _e( 'Post navigation', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>
<br>
<?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>
</nav><!-- #nav-above -->
<?php endif;
}

any thoughts, its probably something small and simple, but i just cant see it. (angry face :E)

have you set up Menus under Appearance? - or is that not what you're on about? if you mean re-ordering posts the only wany to do it is go in and edit the posted time so if you wanr a certain one to appear first it must have the most recent daye/time

i mean paginate as in (example. 5 news posts then a next page to page 2 for the next 5 posts)

ive got it to work hundreds of times in past but on this shitty default wp theme i cant figure it out haha
