If you have a custom post type (for example – Portfolio), you might want to add Previous and Next buttons under each portfolio piece.
Here’s an example of that on this website: Single Porfolio piece. Notice at the bottom Previous and Next links go to other single pages of custom post type – Portfolio.
You need to add this code to your functions.php file (this example uses ‘portfolio’ custom post type, but you can change it to your custom post type):
Gist – Previous/Next Post Navigation in Genesis:
If you want to style your links, you can add this in your styles.css:
Gist – Style Previous/Next Post Navigation
Thank you for this! Exactly what I was looking for. I have one little problem: The next arrow actually goes to the previous page (and visa versa). I know nothing about PHP, is this an easy fix?
I updated the code to display actual post titles for Next/Previous links (just like on this website for Portfolio and Testimonials custom post types). Hope this fixes it.
Hi Irina, thank you for the article!
But I can’t seem to make it work.
I have a custom post type named cases, so I changed the code to “is_singular( ‘cases’ )”
but it didn’t work, is there something else I need to do?
Hi Victor,
It should work if you replace ‘portfolio’ with ‘cases’, if that’s your custom post type. Check to see if your singular_name is ‘cases’ or ‘case’ where you registered your custom post type. If it’s ‘case’, then make sure to put “is_singular(‘case’)”. It might also not work if there is a syntax error somewhere. If you’re using a text editor, like Sublime Text 3, it will show you any syntax errors.
Hope this helps
