Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

[SOLVED] Using images in Next/Previous Navigation

I would like to use images as links for the next/previous navigation at the bottom of posts. I understand that Atahualpa calls wp_link_pages() to generate the navigation links, and it doesn't look like that function accepts any arg's except string values from the documentation. I can insert an image into the navigation, and it shows up, but I don't understand how to make the image into a link. (Or how to make anything other than %link work, for that matter)

In the options, it says "You can use single and double quotes, and HTML". Can anyone show me an example of the syntax to use something other than %link? I'd be happy with just an "arrow" that functioned as the link if I can't use an image, rather than a text based link.

As of now, anything other than the default %link does not create a link at all, just plain text

Thanks in advance,

Tim

did you look at the doc on the option page? where you can use '→' for a right arrow and '←' for a left arrow?

Yes, I have. It does not make the arrow into a link, just a plain text arrow that does not link. The only way those options create a link is if I include %link.

If I input just "«" , "»" "→", or "←", when you go to the page and hover over the "link" the cursor changes to a text-editing cursor, not a link cursor.

Using only arrows work fine for the comments section, but the post navigation does not.

Looking at the source, it shows:

<div class="clearfix navigation-middle">
<div class="older-home">&laquo; &nbsp;</div><div class="home"><a href="http://www.reformationcomic.com/">Home</a></div><div class="newer-home">&nbsp; &raquo;</div></div>

I'm using Firefox on a Mac

For Next/Previous links on single post pages that does indeed look like the way it works. I know of no way to change that without digging into the code.
