    Hi,

    This is a small coding change but an important one for usability.

    Next and previous Pagination links are back to front.

    Typically “Next page ” is right justified and previous left this is what web users are used to should be something like this

    <<Previous Page Next Page >>

    This is very much a web standard and what a sites users will be used to.

    This needs applying to the shortcode.php and the previous events shortcode.php

    Hi,

    I understand what you mean (Codex: next_posts_link() usually points to older entries) but events are listed differently from regular posts: the first upcoming event is listed on top, so next events are events in the future. So I thought this was the best way to do this.

    Well this is the same question I wanted to ask about now. Guido, you missunderstood the request. It is not about wording nor about function which both are fine, it is about where the pagination links are located.

    This is the normal way users are used to:
    <<Previous Page Next Page >>

    At the moment plugin is making it:
    <<Next Page Previous Page>>

    It is like you have to backwards to get to the next page.
    Cheers.

    Ok, you both have a point.

    Found a great article about this issue.

    I thought the ‘older’ posts link (next) should be left aligned (have same alignment in all my themes). I was wrong.

    Need some advice here:
    In case of VSEL and using the upcoming events shortcode.. the ‘next’ posts link points to future events. You don’t find this strange behaviour?

    Nope that is VERY normal behaviour.

    Here is a different calendar it does not have text links but little arrows at the top

    Right arrow moves forward one month

    Left arrow back one month

    Google calendar top left same deal.

    I can see where this gets confusing though.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the examples, it’s now clear to me. Will update VSEL asap.
