I recently took over a site from someone else at a new company. Having never used Drupal before, updating things has been a bit cumbersome. There were some outstanding security updates that I applied(but I haven't updated the core yet). Anyway, after doing this, the calls to views_embeded_view have not been working. For example:
print views_embed_view('news_block');
Will break the links(by using the title, rather than alias for the link), or it will link correctly, but not follow the paging rules I have set(show 1 page, 6 items per page) instead it shows 10 items and has links for other pages.
I am not sure if the update has anything to do with it, but it seems likely. Would updating the core resolve this issue potentially?
