Post Nav/Pagination Not Showing

[robertrhu]

As always, thank you so much for FoundationPress. Its my favorite!

For some reason I am unable to get next and previous pagination navigation to appear on the bottom of my single-*.php pages. This usually works out of the box but not working for me this time. Previous and next links don't appear on my posts.

I haven't changed anything in the functions.php pagination function.

Here's what I've using in my single-*.php files...

//CODE I'M USING ON MY SINGLE PAGES

<?php /* Display navigation to next/previous pages when applicable */ ?>
        <?php if ( function_exists( 'foundationpress_pagination' ) ) { foundationpress_pagination(); } else if ( is_paged() ) { ?>
            <nav id="post-nav">
                <div class="post-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '&larr; Older posts', 'foundationpress' ) ); ?></div>
                <div class="post-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts &rarr;', 'foundationpress' ) ); ?></div>
            </nav>
        <?php } ?>

Hi, I also can't get the pagination to work on single.php.

Hello folks, there seems to be slight confusion what kind of navigation should appear and where.

The single.php is equipped with wp_link_pages function:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_link_pages

I agree single.php should contain previous_post_link and next_post_link function:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post_link
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link

The snippet @robertrhu suggests is meant to be used only on archive templates.

Hi Eccola, here's my template code, do you know why I can't get pagination to show here?

`

<div class="row">
    <div class="large-6 large-offset-3 columns post-box">
        <?php do_action( 'foundationpress_before_content' ); ?>
        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
        <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
            <article <?php post_class('main-content') ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
                <header>
                    <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
                    <?php foundationpress_entry_meta(); ?>
                </header>
                <?php do_action( 'foundationpress_post_before_entry_content' ); ?>
                <div class="entry-content">

                <?php
                    if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) :
                        the_post_thumbnail('large');
                    endif;
                ?>

                <?php the_content(); ?>
                </div>

                <footer>
                    <?php wp_link_pages( array('before' => '<nav id="page-nav"><p>' . __( 'Pages:', 'foundationpress' ), 'after' => '</p></nav>' ) ); ?>
                    <p><?php the_tags(); ?></p>
                </footer>

            </article>


        <?php endwhile;?>


        <?php else : ?>
            <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
        <?php endif; ?>



        <?php do_action( 'foundationpress_after_content' ); ?>
    </div>
</div>

@joewellmade, what FP version you are using?

Try paginating your single post content:

Post Page 1 Content

<!--nextpage-->

Post Page 2 Content

<!--nextpage-->

Post Page 3 Content

Thanks, much appreciated, I have it working now. I just added:
<?php previous_post_link(); ?> <?php next_post_link(); ?>

[colin-marshall]

@eccola you think we should add the previous_post_link() & the next_post_link() to FoundationPress on single.php? I'm all for adding it, if others think so too.

Anybody else have an opinion on adding this? @olefredrik @Aetles?

[olefredrik]

I'd say yes.

[Aetles]

Isn't that what the_post_navigation() does? It's already in single.php. Or am I misunderstanding the questing here?

(Whenever I am in doubt I usually check what Underscores are doing and they are using the_post_navigation() in their single.php and no sign of previous_post_link() or next_post_link().)

[colin-marshall]

@Aetles thank you, that is correct. I only read this thread and should have looked at the theme first.

@robertrhu is <?php the_post_navigation(); ?> present in your single-*.php?
