This is standard WordPress functionality, contained in previous_post_link and next_post_link. You don’t need to edit functions.php. Just add to your template: <div class=”buttons”> <span class=”previous-button”><?php previous_post_link() ?></span> <span class=”next-button”><?php next_post_link() ?></span> </div> Now you can style the buttons with css. Follow the codex links for customizing options to the functions.
Just put them between endwhile; and endif;
Maybe I don’t understand the question, sorry in that case. But can’t you just retrieve the last 6 posts excluding the current? Something like: global $post; $footer_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( array(‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘6’, ‘exclude’ => $post->ID), 1 ); if ( ! empty($footer_posts) ) { foreach ( $footer_posts as $post ) { setup_postdata($post); echo … Read more
$prev = get_previous_post(); $next = get_next_post(); $prev_title = $prev ? get_the_title($prev) : ‘Current is First Post’; $next_title = $next ? get_the_title($next) : ‘Current is Last Post’; See get_previous_post and get_next_post on Codex for some details and additional params you can use.
Two problems I can see off hand here Firstly, you should move your query to outside your if conditional statement. Secondly, when using WP_Query, the $max_pages parameter should be used when using next_posts_link( $label , $max_pages ); So, your code should look something like this <div class=”wrapper inner_content_wrap”> <?php next_posts_link( ‘<span class=”label iconfont”><img src=”‘.get_template_directory_uri().’/images/pager_arw.png” alt=””></span><span … Read more
I figured it out! After a lot of research and trial and error, I managed to figure out how to get the paging to work for both versions…my original code and the simplified code update. Original Code Solution: <?php $cat = get_cat_ID(“Photos”); $categories = get_categories(“child_of=$cat”); $limit = 9; $total = count($categories); $pages = ceil($total / … Read more
get_previous_post() and get_next_post() are deprecated. You should use get_previous_post_link() and get_next_post_link() or even better the wrapper functions the_post_navigation() or get_the_post_navigation(). If you don’t know how to use them, see the single.php template of the twentyfifteen theme that comes with WordPress by default. You can also see how these functions are implemented in the link-template.php file … Read more
You can use the wordpress plugin ‘Ajax Load More‘ which facilitates you with the features of loading more posts on the same page.
See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post_link I’m a little confused by what you are asking but I’m assuming you are after the next/prev links to go to the next or previous post in the same category? In which case, you need to define the third argument in ‘previous_post_link’ & ‘next_post_link’ as ‘true’. Note that those two functions must be … Read more
