Issue with “previous/next post” section

Dear @poelzi thank you for your input. Please provide your WordPress version number.

My WordPress version is 4.7 (it is also located in the “topic info”).

It works fine in 4.7 with the twenty seventeen theme

May I know which theme you tested it on?

I am working with the theme “Chosen“.

I will also check the twenty seventeen theme later…

The problem is that the theme template escapes HTML in the previous/next titles.

For this plugin to work with this theme you should edit the theme code.

The file to edit is ./wp-content/themes/chosen/content/post-nav.php

You can also edit the post-nav.php page from the theme editor.

In the bottom of the page change this code

<nav class="further-reading">
	<div class="previous">
		<span><?php echo esc_html( $previous_text ); ?></span>
		<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $previous_link ); ?>"><?php echo esc_html( $previous_title ); ?></a>
	</div>
	<div class="next">
		<span><?php echo esc_html( $next_text ); ?></span>
		<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $next_link ); ?>"><?php echo esc_html( $next_title ); ?></a>
	</div>
</nav>

to

<nav class="further-reading">
	<div class="previous">
		<span><?php echo esc_html( $previous_text ); ?></span>
		<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $previous_link ); ?>"><?php echo  $previous_title ; ?></a>
	</div>
	<div class="next">
		<span><?php echo esc_html( $next_text ); ?></span>
		<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $next_link ); ?>"><?php echo  $next_title ; ?></a>
	</div>
</nav>
