How to add pagination for listing posts?

  • <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

<!-- Add the pagination functions here. -->

<!-- Start of the main loop. -->
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();  ?>

<!-- the rest of your theme's main loop -->
  echo the_title();

<?php endwhile; ?>
<!-- End of the main loop -->

<!-- Add the pagination functions here. -->

<div class="nav-previous alignleft"><?php next_posts_link( 'Older posts' ); ?></div>
<div class="nav-next alignright"><?php previous_posts_link( 'Newer posts' ); ?></div>

<?php else : ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

    I don’t see any Older or Newer posts link. What can be the reason?

    to which template does the posted code belong?

    are you viewing a index or archive page?

    how many posts do you have?

    what theme are you working with?

    I am trying to write customized theme. There are two posts. How can i add Older and Newer posts there?

    this existing section in your code should actually show the links:

    <div class="nav-previous alignleft"><?php next_posts_link( 'Older posts' ); ?></div>
<div class="nav-next alignright"><?php previous_posts_link( 'Newer posts' ); ?></div>

    what template are you editing?

    It is index.php page.

    you will need to have more posts than set in dashboard – settings – reading – blog pages show at most [] posts to get the pagination links to appear.

    <div class="nav-previous alignleft"><?php next_posts_link( 'Older posts' ); ?></div>
<div class="nav-next alignright"><?php previous_posts_link( 'Newer posts' ); ?></div>

    these two lines doesn’t displya Older posts, and Newer posts link even though there are 6 posts in databases.

    What does the browser source show? Are <div class="nav-previous"> and <div class="nav-next"> appearing?

    Note that previous_posts_link() displays newer posts, and next_posts_link() displays older posts – but both only output if there are multiple pages of posts to display.
