Previous/Next

I did this search which returned some other forum threads and a few plugins:

I did such a search; my problem is that I don’t UNDERSTAND what these things mean. Totally php stupid. ??

Edit your index.php template, and in it place those tags within The Loop:

See example on this page for how to get them to appear only on a single post page:

Okay, I see where the code needs to go, but when I put it there, nothing shows up. I changed my layout to make it single post (I think?)… what’s up?

I’m seeing it at the top of each individual post. Something like:

“MIA: The Little Banner Line Thing | Home | Bam!”

I don’t see it at all!

Empty your browser cache.

Nope. Not there.

Anyone?

First, thanks for bringing this up as it has annoyed me for ages that I couldn’t get this to work and now it does.

The info at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/next_post helped me tons – totally. Here is the code I used, following the helpful info, to make it work. Now, you might not know php, but hopefully you can recognize the HMTL and CSS where I jazzed it up a little to look better.

<?php if ($single) { ?>
<p class=”prevnext”><?php previous_post(‘%’, ‘<b>PREVIOUS:</b> ‘, ‘yes’); ?> <?php _e(“<span>&bull;</span>”); ?> <?php next_post(‘%’, ‘<b>NEXT:</b> ‘, ‘yes’); ?>

In my CSS class, I have it set to have a border on top and bottom and be 80% of the default font size with a span to make the bullet (a circle) blue. You can see it in action at https://www.cameraontheroad.com/wordpress/ and I did a search through my index.php for

php if ($single)

and pasted the previous/next statement in there. Worked great.

Awesome. I figured it out too. With the extensive help of this board. ??

Now I haveta figure out how to make my silly lil Custom Fields to not be in one line…
