Hello There,

Thanks for writing in!

Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released.

Kindly use following code in your child theme’s functions.php file:

add_action ('the_content', 'add_next_post_item_link' );

function add_next_post_item_link ( $content ) {
	if ( is_singular('post') ) {
		$next_name = "Next Post <i class=\"x-icon-chevron-right\"></i>";
		$prev_name = "<i class=\"x-icon-chevron-left\"></i> Previous Post";
		$next_link = get_next_post() ? '<a style="float: left;" href="' . get_permalink( get_next_post()->ID ) . '">' . $prev_name . '</a>' : '';
		$prev_link = get_previous_post() ? '<a style="float: right;" href="' . get_permalink( get_previous_post()->ID ) . '">' . $next_name . '</a>' : '';
		$posts = '<div class="wp-post-navigation-next">'.$next_link.$prev_link.'</div>';
		return $content . $posts;
	} else {
		return $content;
	}
}

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks.
