Just had a client ask this:

“Is there an easy way to have nav at the bottom of an individual blog post that allows you to select the next post? It’s just a dead-end when you click into a post otherwise.”

Thoughts?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully, at this time I am not entirely certain what it is you would like to accomplish based on the information given in your post. If you wouldn’t mind providing us with a little more clarification on what it is you’re wanting to do (a link to a similar example site would be very helpful, or perhaps some screenshots), we’ll be happy to provide you with a response once we have a better understanding of the situation.

LOL, I thought it was pretty obvious.

Just how to add Next/Previous buttons to bottom of posts.

Hi Bill,

To achieve that you can add this in your child theme’s functions.php file.

function add_post_nav(){
  if ( is_singular('post') ){
      x_entry_navigation();
  }
}
add_action('x_after_view_global__content', 'add_post_nav');

function x_entry_navigation() {
  $stack = x_get_stack();
  if ( $stack == 'ethos' ) {
    $left_icon  = '<i class="x-icon-chevron-left" data-x-icon=""></i>';
    $right_icon = '<i class="x-icon-chevron-right" data-x-icon=""></i>';
  } else {
    $left_icon  = '<i class="x-icon-arrow-left" data-x-icon=""></i>';
    $right_icon = '<i class="x-icon-arrow-right" data-x-icon=""></i>';
  }
  $is_ltr    = ! is_rtl();
  $prev_post = get_adjacent_post( false, '', false );
  $next_post = get_adjacent_post( false, '', true );
  $prev_icon = ( $is_ltr ) ? $left_icon : $right_icon;
  $next_icon = ( $is_ltr ) ? $right_icon : $left_icon;
  ?>

  <div class="x-nav-articles">

    <?php if ( $prev_post ) : ?>
      <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $prev_post ); ?>" title="<?php __( 'Previous Post', '__x__' ); ?>" class="prev">
        <?php echo "Prev"; ?>
      </a>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php if ( $next_post ) : ?>
      <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $next_post ); ?>" title="<?php __( 'Next Post', '__x__' ); ?>" class="next">
        <?php echo "Next"; ?>
      </a>
    <?php endif; ?>

  </div>

  <?php
  }

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

I submit this as a feature request– should be an option in the Blog section of the Customizer.
