How to Add Next / Previous Links in WordPress (Ultimate Guide)

Do you want to add next / previous links in WordPress?

Next and previous links are dynamic links that allow users to view the next or previous post.

In this article, we’ll show you how to easily add next/previous links in WordPress and how to make the most out of them.

What Are Next / Previous Links in WordPress?

Next / Previous links are dynamic links added by a WordPress theme that allow users to easily navigate to the next or the previous post. This can help to increase pageviews and reduce your bounce rate.

By default, WordPress blog posts are displayed in a reverse chronological order (newer posts first).

This means the next post is the one published after the current post a user is viewing, and the previous post is the one that was published before the current post.

The next/previous links allow users to easily navigate individual articles and blog archive pages. It also helps you get more pageviews for your blog.

Most WordPress themes come with built-in next and previous posts links which are automatically displayed at the bottom of each post. However, some themes don’t display them, or you may want to customize where and how they appear on your WordPress website.

That being said, let’s take a look at how to easily add next and previous links in WordPress.

Following is the list of topics we’ll cover in this article.

• Adding Next / Previous Links to WordPress By Using a Plugin
• Adding Next / Previous Links to a WordPress Theme
• Styling Next / Previous Links in WordPress
• Adding Next / Previous Links to Pages
• Adding Next / Previous Links with Thumbnails
• Removing Next / Previous Links in WordPress

Adding Next / Previous Links to WordPress by Using a Plugin

This method is easier and recommended for beginners who are not comfortable adding code to their websites.

First, you need to install and activate the CBX Next Previous Article plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit the Settings » CBX Next Previous page. From here, you can choose where you want to show the next and previous links on your website.

The plugin allows you to show Next and Previous link arrows on single posts, pages, archive pages, and more.

To make your next and previous links more relevant, you can also choose to display the next and previous posts from the same category or tag.

The free version of the plugin only allows you to display arrows for next and previous articles. You can upgrade to pro version to unlock other display options such as slide-in popup.

If you choose to display next / previous posts from same taxonomy, then you need to switch to the Navigate by Taxonomy tab.

From here, you need to choose which taxonomy you want to use to select next and previous links.

Optionally, the plugin also allows you to track clicks using Google Analytics. To use this feature, you’ll need to first install Google Analytics in WordPress.

After that, switch to the Google Analytics tab in plugin settings and enable click tracking options.

Once you are finished, don’t forget to click on the Save Settings button to store your changes.

You can now visit your WordPress website to see the next/previous links in action.

This method is easier but it does not give you much flexibility. For instance, the free version doesn’t display the next or previous post title.

If you need more flexibility, then continue reading.

Adding Next / Previous Links to a WordPress Theme

For this method, you’ll need to edit your WordPress theme files. If you haven’t done this before, then take a look at our guide on how to copy and paste code in WordPress.

Next, you’ll need to connect to your WordPress website using an FTP client or by using the File Manager app in your WordPress hosting control panel.

Once you are connected, you need to navigate to the /wp-content/themes/your-current-theme/ folder.

Now, you’ll need to locate the single.php file. This is the file responsible for displaying the single post items on your website.

Some WordPress themes may reference other files inside single.php file. These files are called template parts and are located inside the template-parts folder of your WordPress theme.

For more details, see our article on which files to edit in the WordPress theme.

After that, simply copy and paste the following code at the location in the template file where you want to display the next and previous links.

<?php the_post_navigation(); ?> 

You can now save your changes and visit your website to see Next / Previous links in action.

The above template tag will simply show the link to next and previous posts with post title as the anchor text. It doesn’t say that these are the links to the next and previous articles.

Let’s change this a bit and provide users some context about these links. We’ll do this by adding the available parameters for the the_post_navigation template tag.

Simply replace the above code with the following:

<?php the_post_navigation( array(
 'prev_text'  => __( 'Previous Article: %title' ),
 'next_text'  => __( 'Next Article: %title' ),
 ) );
?>

You can now save your changes and preview your website.

Here is how it looked on our test site:

You can also use special characters and arrows along with next and previous post titles.

Simply replace the code with the following:

<?php the_post_navigation( array(
 'prev_text'  => __( '← %title' ),
 'next_text'  => __( '%title →' ),
 ) );
?>

Here is how this code looked on our test website:

Now let’s say you want to make the next and previous links more relevant to the article the user is currently viewing.

You can do that by showing the next and previous links from the same category or tags.

<?php the_post_navigation( array(
 'prev_text'  => __( '← %title' ),
 'next_text'  => __( '%title →' ),
 'in_same_term' => true, 
 'taxonomy'     => __( 'category' ),
 ) );
?>

This code tells WordPress to display next and previous posts in the same category. You can change taxonomy parameter to tags or any other custom taxonomy if needed.

Styling Next / Previous Links in WordPress

Now that we have learned how to add Next / Previous links in WordPress, let’s take a look at how to style them properly.

By default, WordPress automatically adds several default CSS classes to the post navigation links. You can use these CSS classes in your WordPress theme to style these links.

Here is some basic CSS that you can add to your theme.

.nav-links,
.posts-navigation .nav-links,
.post-navigation .nav-links {
        display: flex;
}

.nav-previous,
.posts-navigation .nav-previous,
.post-navigation .nav-previous {
        flex: 1 0 50%;
}

.nav-next,
.posts-navigation .nav-next,
.post-navigation .nav-next {
        text-align: end;
        flex: 1 0 50%;
}

This basic CSS simply displays next and previous links next to each other but on the different sides of the same line.

You can also make your navigation links standout by adding background color, hover effect, and more.

Here is some sample CSS code that you can use as an starting point.

.post-navigation {
background-color:#f3f9ff;
padding:0px;
}
.nav-previous, .nav-next{
padding:10px;
font-weight:bold
}
.nav-previous:hover,.nav-next:hover {
background-color:#0170b9;
}
.nav-previous:hover a:link ,.nav-next:hover a:link {
color:#fff;
}

This code styles the link text and adds some background color and hover effect to make next and previous links more prominent.

Adding Next / Previous Links to WordPress Pages

Normally, the post navigation links are used for blog posts in WordPress. That’s because those items are published in reverse chronological order.

On the other hand, WordPress pages are not generally published in chronological order. For more details, see our guide on the difference between posts and pages in WordPress.

However, some users may need to display page navigation so that users can find the next page easily.

Luckily, you can use use the same code we used earlier for pages. However, you’ll need to add the code inside page.php template.

<?php the_post_navigation( array(
  'prev_text'   => __( '← %title' ),
  'next_text'   => __( '%title →' ),
   ) );
?>

Here is how it looked on our demo site:

Adding Next / Previous links in WordPress with Thumbnails

Want to make your next and previous links more noticeable? Images are the easiest way to attract user attention and make these links more engaging.

Let’s add next and previous links with post thumbnail or featured image next to them.

First, you need to add the following code to theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin.

function wpb_posts_nav(){
    $next_post = get_next_post();
    $prev_post = get_previous_post();
     
    if ( $next_post || $prev_post ) : ?>
     
        <div class="wpb-posts-nav">
            <div>
                <?php if ( ! empty( $prev_post ) ) : ?>
                    <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $prev_post ); ?>">
                        <div>
                            <div class="wpb-posts-nav__thumbnail wpb-posts-nav__prev">
                                <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $prev_post, [ 100, 100 ] ); ?>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                        <div>
                            <strong>
                                <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="24" height="24"><path d="M13.775,18.707,8.482,13.414a2,2,0,0,1,0-2.828l5.293-5.293,1.414,1.414L9.9,12l5.293,5.293Z"/></svg>
                                <?php _e( 'Previous article', 'textdomain' ) ?>
                            </strong>
                            <h4><?php echo get_the_title( $prev_post ); ?></h4>
                        </div>
                    </a>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </div>
            <div>
                <?php if ( ! empty( $next_post ) ) : ?>
                    <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $next_post ); ?>">
                        <div>
                            <strong>
                                <?php _e( 'Next article', 'textdomain' ) ?>
                                <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="24" height="24"><path d="M10.811,18.707,9.4,17.293,14.689,12,9.4,6.707l1.415-1.414L16.1,10.586a2,2,0,0,1,0,2.828Z"/></svg>
                            </strong>
                            <h4><?php echo get_the_title( $next_post ); ?></h4>
                        </div>
                        <div>
                            <div class="wpb-posts-nav__thumbnail wpb-posts-nav__next">
                                <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $next_post, [ 100, 100 ] ); ?>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </a>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </div>
        </div> <!-- .wpb-posts-nav -->
     
    <?php endif;
}

This code simply creates a function that displays the next and previous posts with featured images or post thumbnails.

Next, you need to add the wpb_posts_nav() function to your theme’s single.php file where you want to display the links.

If your theme already has next and previous links, then you may want to find the line that contains the_post_navigation() function and delete it.

Now add the following code to display your custom next and previous links.

<?php wpb_posts_nav(); ?>

After adding the code, don’t forget to save your changes and visit your website to see the links in action.

Now, you may notice that these links don’t look very clean.

Let’s change that by adding some custom CSS to style them.

.wpb-posts-nav {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
    grid-gap: 50px;
    align-items: center;
    max-width: 1200px;
    margin: 100px auto;
}
 
.wpb-posts-nav a {
    display: grid;
    grid-gap: 20px;
    align-items: center;
}
 
.wpb-posts-nav h4,
.wpb-posts-nav strong {
    margin: 0;
}
 
.wpb-posts-nav a svg {
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0;
    vertical-align: middle;
}
 
.wpb-posts-nav > div:nth-child(1) a {
    grid-template-columns: 100px 1fr;
    text-align: left;
}
 
.wpb-posts-nav > div:nth-child(2) a {
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 100px;
    text-align: right;
}
 
.wpb-posts-nav__thumbnail {
    display: block;
    margin: 0;
}
 
.wpb-posts-nav__thumbnail img {
    border-radius: 10px;
}

You can now save your changes and visit your website to view next and previous links with thumbnails.

Here is how it looked on our test site:

For more details, you can see our guide on how to add thumbnails to previous and next post links.

Bonus: Remove Next and Previous Links in WordPress

Some users may want to remove next and previous links in WordPress.

For instance, some users may find that these links are less helpful. Some may want to display related posts or popular posts instead.

There are two ways you can remove the next and previous links in WordPress.

Method 1. Delete The Code in Your WordPress Theme

To remove the next and previous links in WordPress, you’ll need to remove the code responsible for displaying the links in your WordPress theme.

The problem with this approach is that as soon as you update your theme, the deleted code will come back.

To avoid this, you’ll need to create a child theme.

Next, you need to find the code responsible for displaying the next and previous links in your parent theme.

Usually, it is found inside single.php or content-single.php templates.

Basically, you’ll be looking for the code that includes the following function.

<?php the_post_navigation() ?> 

This code may have a slightly different format and parameters to it. For instance, on our test site the theme used this code to display the links:

the_post_navigation(
                                array(
                                        'prev_text' => '<span class="nav-subtitle">' . esc_html__( 'Previous:', 'mytheme' ) . '</span> <span class="nav-title">%title</span>',
                                        'next_text' => '<span class="nav-subtitle">' . esc_html__( 'Next:', 'mytheme' ) . '</span> <span class="nav-title">%title</span>',
                                )
                        );

If you are using a child theme, then you need to duplicate this particular template in your child theme and then delete the lines used to display next or previous links.

If you would rather just delete it in your parent theme, then you can do that as well.

Deleting the code will stop WordPress from displaying next and previous links.

Method 2. Hide The Next and Previous Posts Links

This method doesn’t really remove the next and previous links. Instead, it just makes them invisible to human readers.

Simply add the following Custom CSS to your WordPress theme.

nav.navigation.post-navigation {
    display: none;
}

Don’t forget to save your changes and visit your website to see the navigation links disappear.

How to Accept ACH Payments in WordPress

Do you want to accept ACH payments on your WordPress website?

ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments are a bank-to-bank payment method in the United States. ACH payments help save transaction fees for business owners since they are a lot lower than a credit card or digital wallet transaction fees.

In this article, we’ll show you how to accept ACH payments in WordPress.

Why Accept ACH Payments in WordPress?

If your business is located in the United States, then you can lower your transaction fees by a lot when you accept ACH payments on your WordPress site. It’s a perfect payment method if you regularly accept large amounts of money from customers.

For example, the Stripe fee for accepting ACH payments is just 0.8% per transaction, with a maximum cap of $5.

On the other hand, a typical credit card or digital wallet payment fee is 2.9% + USD 0.30 per transaction. Even newer methods like Apple Pay charge a 1.5% fee, nearly double ACH.

Keeping these fees in mind, let’s say a customer pays $100. Through ACH payments, the transaction fee would be roughly $0.80. At the same time, the transaction fee for the same amount through a credit card or digital wallet would be $3.20.

Similarly, on an $800 payment amount, the transaction fee through ACH would be $6.40, and through cards or digital wallets would be $23.50. What this means is that the higher the transaction amount, the more you’ll save in transaction costs.

Another advantage of using ACH payments is getting higher customer retention and reducing the churn rate. Credit and debit cards expire after a certain period, which means that customers will stop doing business until their cards are renewed. With ACH payments, you can overcome this issue and reduce involuntary churn.

That said, let’s look at how you can accept ACH payments in WordPress.

Accepting ACH Payments in WordPress

The best way to allow ACH payments in WordPress is by using the WP Simple Pay plugin. It’s the best Stripe plugin for WordPress and will let you set up one-time payments or recurring payments without setting up a shopping cart.

We’ll use the WP Simple Pay Pro version for this tutorial because it includes ACH payments, on-site payment forms, and other features. There is also a free version of the plugin, but it doesn’t have an ACH payment option.

First, you’ll need to install and activate the WP Simple Pay plugin. If you need help, then please see our detailed guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Once the plugin is active, it will automatically launch the setup wizard. Go ahead and click the ‘Let’s Get Started’ button.

On the next screen, you’ll need to enter the license key. You can easily find the license key in your WP Simple Pay account area.

After entering the key, you can click the ‘Activate and Continue’ button.

Next, you’ll need to connect WP Simple Pay with Stripe.

Stripe is a popular payment gateway that allows you to collect ACH payments on your WordPress site.

Go ahead and click the ‘Connect with Stripe’ button.

After that, you can log in to your Stripe account and connect it with WP Simple Pay.

Just a note that Stripe requires websites to have HTTPS encryption. If you don’t already have an SSL certificate for your website, then please see our step-by-step guide on how to get a free SSL certificate for WordPress.

Once your Stripe account is connected, WP Simple Pay will show different email options to configure. You can enable emails for payment receipts, upcoming invoices, and payment notifications.

Next, enter your business email address where you’d like to receive these emails, and then click the ‘Save and Continue’ button.

After that, you’ll arrive at the last step in the setup wizard, where you’ll need to create a payment form. Simply click on the ‘Create a Payment Form’ button.

Setting Up a WP Simple Pay Payment Form

You can also create a payment form in WP Simple Pay by going to WP Simple Pay » Add New from your WordPress dashboard.

You will see a number of payment form templates. You need to hover over the ‘ACH Direct Debit Form’ template and then click the ‘Use Template’ button that appears.

You’ll find yourself on the ‘General’ tab of the payment form editor. If you like, you can rename the form and give it a description.

We’ll leave the other settings with their default values.

Next, go to the ‘Payment’ tab in the payment form and enter the price amount and label.

You should also set up whether it is a one-time payment or a recurring subscription.

After that, head down to the ‘Form Field’ tab.

Under the Payment Method section, you’ll notice that the ‘ACH Direct Debit’ and ‘Card’ payment options have already been selected for you. If you like, you can also select any other payment methods that you’d like to use.

Next, you can preview your ACH payment form and then publish it.

To do that, simply click the ‘Publish’ button in WP Simple Pay.

You can now add your ACH payment form anywhere on your WordPress website.

To start, go ahead and add a new page or edit an existing one. Once you’re in the content editor, simply add a WP Simple Pay block. After that, you should select your ACH form from the dropdown menu.

Once that’s done, you can preview your page and publish it.

Now you can visit your website to see the ACH payment form in action. Here’s a preview of what it looks like on our demo site.

Final Thoughts on Adding ACH Payments in WordPress

The above method is the simplest way to accept ACH payment in WordPress without using a shopping cart.

However, if you’re using WordPress for your online store or to sell digital downloads, then most of those eCommerce plugins also support ACH payments.

For example, you can use Easy Digital Downloads to sell digital downloads like eBooks, software, music, etc, and it lets you accept ACH payments.

Alternatively, WooCommerce will allow you to sell physical goods and accept ACH payments.

How to Set a Default Featured Image in WordPress (Easy Way)

Do you want to set a default featured image in WordPress?

Many themes use featured images (a.k.a post thumbnails) to make your content look more appealing and attention-grabbing. But finding the right featured image for each post can be time-consuming, and if you forget to add a featured image, then your posts might look incomplete.

In this article, we will show you how to fix that by setting a default featured image in WordPress.

Why Set a Default Featured Image in WordPress?

Featured images, sometimes known as thumbnail images, are the primary image for your WordPress posts and pages.

All popular WordPress themes come with built-in support for featured images.

However, you may sometimes forget to upload a featured image to your posts. If you have other authors posting on your site, then they may not realize the importance and skip over adding a featured image.

WordPress themes typically use featured images in multiple different areas. If you forget to add a featured image, then you may end up with lots of gaps in your website’s design including in important places like your blog archive or homepage.

For example, in the following image you can see that OptinMonster shows featured images on their blog index.

People also find images more engaging than plain text. Posts that don’t have a featured image may get less traffic and lower conversion rates.

With that in mind, it’s a good idea to set a default featured image in WordPress. This gives your site something to show when no featured image is available.

To make it easy for you, we have created quick jump links for the sections:

• How to set a default featured image in WordPress
• How to set a default featured image for social media sharing

How to Set a Default Featured Image in WordPress

The easiest way to set a default featured image is by using the Default Featured Image plugin. This plugin adds a new setting to the WordPress Media page where you can upload a fallback featured image.

First, you’ll need to install and activate the

Default Featured Image plugin. If you need help, then please see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, head over to Settings » Media. Once you’ve done that, just click on the ‘Select default featured image’ button.

You can now either choose an image from the WordPress media library or upload a new file.

After choosing your fallback, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on ‘Save Changes.’

WordPress will now use the image that you selected as your default thumbnail for any posts or pages where you don’t provide a featured image.

You can change the default image at any point by repeating the same process above.

If you no longer want to use a default featured image, then simply go to Settings » Media. Then just click on the ‘Don’t use a default featured image’ button.

Don’t forget to click on ‘Save Changes’ when you’re done.

How to Set a Default Featured Image for Social Media

Social media platforms are a great place to reach new readers, build a following, and get more people to visit your site. To do this, you’ll need to post interesting and engaging content to your social media accounts.

The featured image that’s shared alongside your post can also encourage more people to visit your site.

However, social media sites don’t automatically display your featured image when you share your content. Sometimes they’ll even show the wrong thumbnail, here’s how to fix the incorrect thumbnail issue in WordPress.

With that in mind, you may also want to set a default featured image for the different social media platforms. These platforms will then use this fallback for any posts that are shared without a unique featured image.

To do this, we recommend using All in One SEO (AIOSEO) plugin.

AIOSEO is the best SEO plugin for WordPress in the market used by over 3 million websites including WPBeginner. It offers the most beginner friendly and comprehensive SEO toolkit to help you fine-tune your WordPress blog or website for the search engines.

Upon activation, the plugin will launch the setup wizard. To configure the plugin, simply click the ‘Let’s Get Started’ button and follow the onscreen instructions. If you need help, then please refer to our guide on how to properly set up All in One SEO in WordPress.

Once you’ve done that, go to All in One SEO » Social Networks.

You will now see tabs for Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. You can use these tabs to set a unique default image for these different platforms.

As an example, let’s see how you can set a default featured image for Facebook. To get started, click on the ‘Facebook’ tab.

After that, open the ‘Default Post Image Source’ dropdown.

You can then choose ‘Default Image (Set Below).’

Next find the ‘Default Post Facebook Image’ section.

Here you’ll see some tips on how to make sure your image looks great when people share it on Facebook.

For more information, please see our complete social media cheat sheet for WordPress.

To set your default featured image, click on the ‘Upload or Select Image’ button.

This opens the WordPress media library. You can now either choose an image from your media library, or upload a new file.

Finally, click on the ‘Save Changes’ button. After completing this step, Facebook will use this image whenever there’s no featured image available.

To set a default image for Twitter or Pinterest, simply click on the ‘Twitter’ or ‘Pinterest’ tab. You can then choose a fallback image following the same process described above.

21 Best WordPress Full Site Editing Themes of 2022 (Mostly Free)

Are you looking for the best full site editing WordPress themes?

Full Site Editing (FSE) in WordPress gives you more control over your website design. It offers custom blocks for styling your website’s header, footer, sidebar, and other sections.

In this article, we will share some of the best WordPress full site editing themes for your site.

What is WordPress Full Site Editing (FSE)?

Full Site Editing (FSE) is a set of modern features for the default WordPress Block Editor. It was first released in WordPress 5.9.

Previously, the WordPress Block Editor allowed you to add and customize the layout of content within your pages and blog posts. The rest of your website’s layout and design was determined by your WordPress theme.

Now, WordPress full site editing lets you completely change the theme layout and add new sections to your website, without writing any code. You can also add site-wide global styles that apply to your entire website or individual styles for specific WordPress pages or posts.

The styling options include color schemes, font settings, layout spacing, image borders, and more.

However, you can only use full-site editing features if your theme supports them.

Below you’ll find our hand-picked list of the best full-site editing (FSE) themes for WordPress.

1. SeedProd
