Secondary title – next pages and ALT-Text

Hi @jodamade,

Problem 1: It looks like your theme is overwriting the output. There are several ways to fix this, but without knowing the full code of your template and giving me access to test it myself, I can’t give you a snippet for your to copy and paste. If you’d like me to fix this for you myself, please contact me privately via [email protected].

Problem 2: We’ve had this issue recently somewhere else in another thread. Short answer: You’d have to insert the get_secondary_title() PHP function manually into your theme. Since I’ve no idea what theme files display those icons, I can’t give you a direct instruction. Again, if you feel comfortable in giving me direct access, I’d offer to fix it for you.

After working together with @jodamade, the issue has been fixed. In case other users encounter the same problem, follow these steps:

1. Find and open the file that contains the previous/next page function (usually the_post_navigation()).

2. Insert the following code above the function:

$previous_post_secondary_title = “”;
$next_post_secondary_title = “”;

if(function_exists(“get_secondary_title”)) {
$previous_post = get_previous_post();
$next_post = get_next_post();

$previous_post_secondary_title = get_secondary_title($previous_post->ID);
$next_post_secondary_title = get_secondary_title($next_post->ID);
}

3. Add the variables $previous_post_secondary_title and $next_post_secondary_title to the location where you’d like it to be displayed. Example:

the_post_navigation(
array(
‘next_text’ => ‘<span class=”meta-nav” aria-hidden=”true”>’ . __(‘Next’, ‘afterlight’) . ‘</span> ‘ . ‘<span class=”screen-reader-text”>’ . __(‘Next post:’, ‘afterlight’) . ‘</span> ‘ . ‘<span class=”autor”>’ . $next_post_secondary_title . ‘</span><span class=”post-title”>%title</span>’,
‘prev_text’ => ‘<span class=”meta-nav” aria-hidden=”true”>’ . __(‘Previous’, ‘afterlight’) . ‘</span> ‘ . ‘<span class=”screen-reader-text”>’ . __(‘Previous post:’, ‘afterlight’) . ‘</span> ‘ . ‘<span class=”autor”>’ . $previous_post_secondary_title . ‘</span><span class=”post-title”>%title</span>’
)
);
