Updated on October 15, 2020

This members-only tutorial provides the steps to add previous and next post links on single post pages in Oxygen.

Step 1

Edit your Oxygen template for single blog posts.

Step 2

Add a Section where you want the previous and next post links to appear.

Add a Columns element with 50 50 column layout.

Add a Code Block element in the left column having:

<?php
if ( get_previous_post_link() ) {
	previous_post_link();
}
?>

Add a Code Block element in the right column having:

<?php
if ( get_next_post_link() ) {
	next_post_link();
}
?>

Select the right column div and set Right horizontal item alignment.

Update: How to show previous and next posts in the same category as the current post

In Step 2 above change

<?php
if ( get_previous_post_link() ) {
	previous_post_link();
}
?>

to

<?php
if ( get_previous_post_link() ) {
	previous_post_link( '&laquo; %link', '%title', true, '', 'category' );
}
?>

and

<?php
if ( get_next_post_link() ) {
	next_post_link();
}
?>

to

<?php
if ( get_next_post_link() ) {
	next_post_link( '&laquo; %link', '%title', true, '', 'category' );
}
?>
