    Hi all,

    I tried to search around but still can’t get the answer. Hope to get some of your help. Thanks for your time in advance.

    I added the previous/next post link in single.php, as followed

    << <?php previous_post_link('<strong>%link</strong>'); ?>   ||    <?php next_post_link('<strong>%link</strong>'); ?> >>

    It works well but I hope to change the font color, I tried to work within the php, like 

    << <?php previous_post_link('<strong><font color="#e68e09">%link</font></strong>'); ?>   ||    <?php next_post_link('<strong><font color="#e68e09">%link</font></strong>'); ?> >>

    But with no results.

    I hope to try on the css, but don’t know how to.

    Any tips?

    Thanks in advance for your help and time. Much appreciated !

    cheers
    Shirls

    My blog is in chinese.

    Thanks for your help !

    Hi

    I looked for prev/next links on your Chinese blog (I don’t speak any Chinese) and couldn’t find them. Found your English blog and couldn’t find any there either. If you can show me where the links are you want to change the color of, I can show you how to do it.

    Hi stvwlf,

    I am sorry if I don’t explain well. And really thankful for your help.

    I have not updated my English blog for a while. The prev/next links are in the Chinese blog. Please click on a post, then in the single post page, you will see a ‘share and enjoy’ section, right after that there is the prev/next link. The prev/next is also just before the ‘相关文章 (automatically generated)’ (which is the ‘possibly related posts’ section).

    Hope the above help. Once again, I really really appreciate your time and help !!

    cheers

    hi Shirls

    I found the line you refer to. Could you please post the line of PHP code from single.php that is generating that line?

    thanks

    Hi stvwlf,

    I figured out myself. I did not know I have to add a <p> tag to make it work.

    I edited the codes to the following, and it worked.

    <p><font color="#e68e09"><< <?php previous_post_link('<strong>%link</strong>'); ?> || <?php next_post_link('<strong>%link</strong>'); ?> >> </font></p>

    I am really thankful for your time and help. Thanks again !
