How Do I Add a Previous and Next Button in WordPress?

If you want to add a previous and next button in WordPress, there are a few different ways to do it. The first way is to use the WordPress customizer.

To do this, open the customizer and under the Appearance tab, add a Previous and Next button.

The second way is to use the wp_nav_menu() function. To do this, add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_action(‘wp_nav_menu’, ‘my_menu’); function my_menu() { wp_nav_menu( array( ‘title’ => ‘Previous’, ‘menu_order’ => ‘1’, ‘items’ => array( ‘title’ => ‘Previous Item’, ‘class’ => ‘sub-menu-item’, ‘priority’ => ‘1’, ‘description’ => ‘This is the description for the Previous Item.’, ‘children’ => array( ‘title’ => ‘Next Item’, ‘class’ => ‘sub-menu-item’, ‘priority’ => ‘0’, ‘description’ => ‘This is the description for the Next Item.’, ), ), ), ); }

The third way is to use the WP_Query object.php file:

function my_query() { $query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ); ); if ( $query->have_posts() ) { $query->the_post(); } }

The fourth way is to use the Previous and Next buttons that are built into WordPress. To do this, add the following code to your theme’s header.php file:

The fifth way is to use the Previous and Next buttons that are built into the WordPress media library.php file:

function my_media_library_previous() { wp_nav_menu( array( ‘title’ => ‘Previous Media’, ‘menu_order’ => ‘2’, ‘items’ => array( ‘title’ => ‘Previous Item’, ‘class’ => ‘media-item’, ‘priority’ => ‘0’, ‘description’ => ‘This is the description for the Previous Item in the Media Library.’, ‘children’ => array( ‘title’ => ‘Next Media’, ‘class’ => ‘media-item’, ‘priority’ => ‘1’, ‘description’ => ‘This is the description for the Next Media in the Media Library.

‘, ), ), ), ); } function my_media_library_next() { wp_nav_menu( array( ‘title’ => ‘Next Media’, ‘menu_order’ => ‘3’, ‘items’ => array( ‘title’ => ‘Next Item’, ‘class’ => ‘media-item’, ‘priority’ => ‘1’, ‘description’ => ‘This is the description for the Next Media in the Media Library.’, ‘children’ => array( ‘title’ => ‘Previous Media’, ‘class’ => ‘media-item’, ‘priority’ => ‘0’, ‘description’ => ‘This is the description for the Previous Media in the Media Library.’, ), ), ), ); }.

The sixth way is to use the Previous and Next buttons that are built into the WordPress posts table.php file:

function my_posts_previous() { wp_posts.menu( ‘Previous’, array( ‘title’ => ‘Previous Post’, ‘url’ => ‘/%postname%/previous’, ‘position’ => ‘2’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘previous’, ‘meta_value’ => ‘%postname%’, ), ); } function my_posts_next() { wp_posts.menu( ‘Next Post’, array( ‘title’ => ‘Next Post’, ‘url’ => ‘/%postname%/next’, ‘position’ => ‘3’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘next’, ‘meta_value’ => ‘%postname%’, ), ); }

The seventh way is to use the Previous and Next buttons that are built into the WordPress comments table.php file:
