How Do I Add "Older Posts" and "Newer Posts" Links to my Blog?

Did I need to do more than just simply paste the above code in the bottom of my index.php file?

Yes; you need to paste that code in the correct place within your template file.

The links need to go outside the Loop, specifically, outside of the while( have_posts() ) part of the Loop.

Sorry for posting all of that, I was just trying to show that I placed the code at the end, which I believe meets your specification of it being outside of that loop.

The loop you’re speaking of is way at the beginning of the index.php (which I pasted above). Please let me know if you see something I did wrong. And thanks for your time.

It looks like you pasted the code outside of the document body. Try putting it where the wp_pagenavi() function call is.

I’m sorry, I don’t know anything about PHP, would you be so kind as to tell me where exactly the code should be placed? Please bear with me.
Below is what I have near the wp_pagenavi() function call.

Should I paste them both before the </div> tag right before the “Page Number” commented line?

<script src=”https://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=UcWwTb0Y”></script&gt;

I was trying to paste the section of my code above using Pastebin, but I don’t know how to use pastebin yet, obviously.

Replace this:

<div class="pagenavi">
<?php if( function_exists( 'wp_pagenavi ' )) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>
</div>

With this:

<div class="pagenavi">
<?php if( function_exists( 'wp_pagenavi ' ) ) {
     wp_pagenavi();
} else {
     next_posts_link('Older Posts');
     previous_posts_link('Newer Posts');
} ?>
</div>

you pretty much succceeded with the pastebin.

click the pastebin link https://pastebin.com/;
paste your code into the large field;
select ‘syntax highlighting’ , for instance ‘PHP’;
click ‘submit’;
copy the new address in the top browser address bar;
post this url here.

Should I paste them both before the </div> tag right before the “Page Number” commented line?

yes

Got it working now, fellas. Thanks so much!

I’m having the same problem. I tried pasting the code above in my index.php file, but it’s not working. I pasted my index.php file in pastebin and here’s my URL: https://pastebin.com/u9CFr5xx

Does anyone know where I put these codes at?
<?php next_posts_link(‘Older Posts’); ?>
<?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer Posts’); ?>

Nevermind, everyone. I had my settings off. Fixed the problem.

I am using 3.2.1 + K2 theme & I’m not sure in which file I should add this code?

Can anyone tell me where to put the ‘older/newer’ posts (at the bottom) code? Do I make a /local file so the original can be updated OK?

Thank you in advance,
