Hey,
I'll report it to Kriesi. I think it's a pagination function problem - basically the cleancut blog isn't layed out to be the frontpage/homepage and I think this triggers the flaw. As a quick fix I can only suggest to use wp-paginate: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-paginate/ instead of Kriesi's pagination function. Activate the plugin and in template_blog.php replace:
kriesi_pagination($additional_loop->max_num_pages);
with:
if(function_exists('wp_paginate')) {
wp_paginate();
}else{
kriesi_pagination($additional_loop->max_num_pages);
}
Update: You can also try to replace the Kriesi's pagination code with an updated version. Open up cleancut\framework\helper_functions\pagination.php and delete all code lines. Then insert:
<?php
function kriesi_pagination($pages = ''){
global $paged;
if(get_query_var('paged')) {
$paged = get_query_var('paged');
} elseif(get_query_var('page')) {
$paged = get_query_var('page');
} else {
$paged = 1;
}
$output = "";
$prev = $paged - 1;
$next = $paged + 1;
$range = 2; // only edit this if you want to show more page-links
$showitems = ($range * 2)+1;
if($pages == '')
{
global $wp_query;
$pages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
if(!$pages)
{
$pages = 1;
}
}
if(1 != $pages)
{
$output .= "<div class='pagination'>";
$output .= ($paged > 2 && $paged > $range+1 && $showitems < $pages)? "<a href='".get_pagenum_link(1)."'>«</a>":"";
$output .= ($paged > 1 && $showitems < $pages)? "<a href='".get_pagenum_link($prev)."'>‹</a>":"";
for ($i=1; $i <= $pages; $i++)
{
if (1 != $pages &&( !($i >= $paged+$range+1 || $i <= $paged-$range-1) || $pages <= $showitems ))
{
$output .= ($paged == $i)? "<span class='current'>".$i."</span>":"<a href='".get_pagenum_link($i)."' class='inactive' >".$i."</a>";
}
}
$output .= ($paged < $pages && $showitems < $pages) ? "<a href='".get_pagenum_link($next)."'>›</a>" :"";
$output .= ($paged < $pages-1 && $paged+$range-1 < $pages && $showitems < $pages) ? "<a href='".get_pagenum_link($pages)."'>»</a>":"";
$output .= "</div>\n";
}
echo $output;
}
Create a new thread and tell me what problems you are encountering and what you want to know. 
There is no step 3 :)
