Next and previous post navigation on static front page?
-
Hello all,
I have, among other contents, 5 latest posts displayed on my static front page. Is there a way to get the “previous/next post” navigation below these posts?
I’m using a child theme of Twenty Seventeen and I tried the following on
content-front-page.php
, but no navigation is displayed:$args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', // enter custom post type 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'offset'=> 1 ); $loop = new WP_Query( $args ); if( $loop->have_posts() ): while( $loop->have_posts() ): $loop->the_post(); global $post; echo '<div><a href="'.get_permalink().'"><div>'.get_the_post_thumbnail( $id, array(120,120) ).'</div><h3>'.get_the_title().'</h3></a><p>'.get_the_date().'</p><p class="desc">'.get_the_excerpt().'</p></div>'; endwhile; echo posts_nav_link(); wp_reset_postdata(); endif;
I read here the following; does it apply to my case?
Static front pages are not intended to be paged. None of the WordPress Previous / Next page link functions work with a static front page. Pagination on a static front page uses the page query variable, not the paged variable. See the WP_Query for details.
In advance thanks for your precious help.
