Next/Previous Navigation links stopped showing up

  • I just updated WordPress today to 3.0.1. I was using 3.0.1 with a local install of WordPress and had no problems so I updated on my server. It seemed everything was working okay. Then I noticed that I have no Next/Previous links anywhere — on page, single page, archives. I tried changing to a theme I used before and the links are absent there too.

    How do I get these back? I am pretty new at PHP and HTML. I’ve tried Googling, but not finding anything I understand.

    Please advise. Check out what I mean at So Humor Me

  • Go to your theme directory (wordpress/wp-content/themes/your-theme)
    find index.php and where you want the next/previous put this:

    <?php posts_nav_link('∞','&laquo;&laquo; Go Forward
In Time','Go Back in Time &raquo;&raquo;'); ?>

    and refresh the your index, report back what happens

    I will do that right now, but just thought I would report that if I go thru WP-Admin and “View” the posts, the links are there.

    I tried the code in my local index.php and not only did it show the Go Forward/back links, but it brought back the named links of the earlier/later posts. I removed code and the original links I had lost were still there. When I logged in accessed the actual webpage on the server, the links were all in place without touching the server theme at all. Could this have been a temporary glitch by WordPress?

    Thank you for your quick response.

    No problem, glad to help. What I think may have happened was possibly was, you were using old cache, the server was trouble bringing it up or possibly a wordpress glitch, honestly I don’t know for sure without seeing it.. but the point is.. it worked didn’t it?

    Thank you. Actually the Older/Newer links on the full page were still missing so I placed your code near the end of the content section, and the links magically appeared. I tried the trick of removing the code and they disappeared, so for now I’m leaving the code in.

    Thank you for your expertise. I have no idea what I just did, hence the blog — So Humor Me

    No problem, like I said, its hard to tell without actually seeing it.
