Post navigation

Displays navigation links to previous and next posts.

The element uses WordPress adjacent-post navigation. Previous points to the previous post according to WordPress’s post-date order, and Next points to the next one. This can look reversed when visitors arrive from a posts list sorted by date in descending order.

Settings

Section titled “Settings”
  • Direction (direction) - Layout direction for navigation items.
  • Max. post width (number) - Maximum width for post navigation items.
  • In same term (checkbox) - Navigate within same taxonomy term.
  • Excluded terms (select) - Terms to exclude from navigation.
  • Taxonomy (select) - Taxonomy for same term navigation. Default: category.

Label

Section titled “Label”
  • Show label (checkbox) - Display navigation labels. Default: true.
  • Prev label (text) - Label for previous post. Default: “Previous post”.
  • Next label (text) - Label for next post. Default: “Next post”.
  • Label typography (typography) - Typography for navigation labels.

Title

Section titled “Title”
  • Show title (checkbox) - Display post titles in navigation. Default: true.
  • Title tag (text) - HTML tag for post titles. Default: h5.
  • Title typography (typography) - Typography for post titles.
  • Alignment: Previous post (justify-content) - Alignment for previous post section.
  • Alignment: Next post (justify-content) - Alignment for next post section.

Arrows

Section titled “Arrows”
  • Prev arrow (icon) - Icon for previous post navigation.
  • Next arrow (icon) - Icon for next post navigation.
  • Typography (typography) - Typography for arrow icons.

You can change the labels and arrows to match the wording used by your design. The element does not include a setting that reverses the underlying adjacent-post lookup. Changing that order requires custom PHP through WordPress’s adjacent-post filters, or a custom navigation implementation.

  • Show image (checkbox) - Display post featured images. Default: true.
  • Size (select) - WordPress image size. Default: Thumbnail.
