I know this isn't probably supposed to be posted here but the page for the HybridPagination plugin refers to using the forums and I can't find any other related contact info for the plugin author.
Anyway, is anyone else using this plugin?
Using the sample template code in the readme file from the plugin download, I can get the entries listed on the static page but when click "Older" which has an offset in the url, the subsequent page is empty apart from a header. I don't even get any widgets or footer.
Removing the following code manually from my index.php main index file at least then displays the widgets and footer so I'm guessing it's something wrong with the call/function.
$mt->display("mt:Entries Loop", "Entries Loop;offset:$offset");

Sounds like a bug. You should go back to Byrne's blog and post that issue there in case it's a bug he missed.
I believe it was the fact that php wasn't executing from my cgi-bin folder. I moved the mt directory from cgi-bin to my DocumentRoot, set +ExecCGI on the relevant directory and all is working perfectly.
