Previous/next page order

[cpennetier]

Hello,

I put the code below in the child functions.php but I don’t understand the displaying order.
Ideally, I would like an order with date, in the same pages of a parent page. Possible?
Thanks so much

add_action( 'the_content', 'add_next_post_item_link' );

function add_next_post_item_link ( $content ) {
    if ( is_singular('page') ) {
	    $next_name = '<span>Page suivante</span><br/> ' . get_the_title( get_next_post()->ID );
	    $prev_name = '<span>Page précédente</span><br/> ' . get_the_title( get_previous_post()->ID );
	    $next_link = get_next_post() ? '<a class="prev" href="' . get_permalink( get_next_post()->ID ) . '">' . $prev_name . '</a>' : '';
	    $prev_link = get_previous_post() ? '<a class="next" 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;
    }
}

Hi Cedric,

Thanks for reaching out.

The next and previous features are usually for a post with category taxonomy, as by default.

get_next_post() | Function | WordPress Developer Resources

get_adjacent_post() | Function | WordPress Developer Resources

With that, it could be by order of date for the page, but I’m not really sure since it’s a Wordpress feature. Hence, if you’re going to use it other than post, you’ll have to do some customization that will allow it, example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10376891/make-get-adjacent-post-work-across-custom-post-types

It’s a Wordpress function and we can’t cover or provide customization here in the forum. What I provided is just a reference. The function get_next_post() calls get_adjacent_post(), and they are connected. You can only apply your own through customization.

Thanks!
