next page previous page

bump?! can anyone help?
much appreciated

Hey there,

Try using these lines of code instead:

<?php /* Display navigation to next/previous pages when applicable */ ?>
<?php if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
	<div id="nav-above" class="navigation">
		<div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
		<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
	</div><!-- #nav-above -->
<?php endif; ?>

That’s taken from the Twenty Ten theme that ships with WordPress so that should work a treat.

unfortunately that code doesn’t work ??

i’m trying to make it like sparknotes because my website is full of books ??

Hmm if that doesn’t work then it sounds like there might be something wrong with you WordPress Loop.

Can you please post all the code in your page.php here? That way I can see how you are doing the loop and see if I can recommend an adjustment for you ??

Thanks!

thanks bronson!

Cheers for that. Try moving the line:
<?php endwhile; ?>
so that it’s underneath
<!-- END: content-article -->

I think you’re closing the WordPress Loop too early from the looks of it. I haven’t tested it on a site yet so if that doesn’t work then let me know and I’ll upload that to one of my sites and have another look.

thanks for your reply

i tried your method and it came up with an error, but when i put the code just below the next/previous code it was ok. however it still doesn’t show up. Is this because i need to put a code into the particular pages i want to have next/previous links? Or is there something else additional i need to do after having that code in page.php
regards!

Oh wait a second. I’m an idiot. It only just clicked that this is for a page and not a post. Have a go with this code instead:

<?php
$pagelist = get_pages('sort_column=menu_order&sort_order=asc');
$pages = array();
foreach ($pagelist as $page) {
   $pages[] += $page->ID;
}

$current = array_search($post->ID, $pages);
$prevID = $pages[$current-1];
$nextID = $pages[$current+1];
?>

<div class="navigation">
<?php if (!empty($prevID)) { ?>
<div class="alignleft">
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($prevID); ?>"
  title="<?php echo get_the_title($prevID); ?>">Previous</a>
</div>
<?php }
if (!empty($nextID)) { ?>
<div class="alignright">
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($nextID); ?>"
 title="<?php echo get_the_title($nextID); ?>">Next</a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div><!-- .navigation -->

which is from Next and previous links
