Hi,

This seems like it should be an easy fix, but I haven't found the solution yet!

On single post pages, instead of the next/previous post navigation to say the title of the next/previous post, I'd like it to just say "Next Post" and "Previous Post". I tried putting "« Next Post" into the correct box on the Next/Previous Navigation page in Atahualpa, which puts the correct text there, but it doesn't actually link to the next post.

Thoughts?

Remember "Next Post" in WordPress means an older post so you would probably want to put "« Next Post" in to the "Older Post" link box and maybe switch it to "Next Post «"

Thanks, Larry. That makes sense. However, it still doesn't create links to the older/newer posts, just the text.

I misunderstood what the problem was. Can you send a link to the site?

I can't because it's a website I'm developing for a client and it's in maintenance mode, but let me try to clarify. When you're looking at a single post, the default previous/next post navigation will show one post name before and one post name after the current post. I'd like it to just say "previous" and "next" or "older" and "newer." Is there a way to do this?

It should be just as you did. Here is a screen shot to confirm.

OK, I have nothing in the Home Link on single or multi post page fields in Next / Prev Navigation settings.

You may have answered the question though, you said "...then put in just the last code change" - so should I not have kept in the first set of changes you sent to?

Regardless, settings file attached. Thanks! (I offer haiku services incidentally...

your settings and the code change work fine for me. It's possible that you made an error in adding the code change(??)
If you send me a PM with an admin ID/PW I'll take a quick look

Well no problem to do that but can you confirm whether both sets of code changes need to have been made or just the 2nd set. (It was unclear to me when you posted the second set of changes if they were to be made INSTEAD OF or IN ADDITION TO the first set. Right now the code has all 4 lines of code changed....I can easily reset that file and just make the second set if that was the issue?

You should be all set now - my fault doing a copy/paste (head slap)where I had you change 'previous_post_link' to 'next_post_link' and that messed it up.

It didn't happen to me because I didn't copy the code exactly when I tested it, I was just adding teh new parts in ...sigh...
