How To Show Naked URL For Previous & Next Post In WP?

by satrap
6 replies
Hi Guys,

You know the previous and next post links that show up under posts in WP, how can you change the code so it only shows the naked URL of the previous and next post, instead of the hyper linked title of the post?...

Example:

Normally it looks like...

Next post 1 New Thread On WF
Previous post 1 New Post On WF

But I want it to look like...

Next Post http://www.warriorforum.com/newthread
Previous Post http://www.warriorforum.com/newpost

Thank you in advance.

    <?php
    $next_post_link_url = get_permalink( get_adjacent_post(false,'',false)->ID );
    $prev_post_link_url = get_permalink( get_adjacent_post(false,'',true)->ID );
    ?>
    <div id="nav-above" class="navigation">
    <div class="nav-previous"><?php echo $prev_post_link_url; ?></div>
    <div class="nav-next"><?php echo $next_post_link_url; ?></div>
    </div>

    Try using the above code and see if this works for you or not.

    But please remember, this is not actually paginating the posts.

    The above code only finds the previous and next adjacent posts of the current post and shows its Permalink.

      Hi,

      Thanks for this. But this doesn't make the naked url clickable, it just shows the naked url as a normal text and not a clickable link?...

      Thanks.

    All you need to do is alter the text between this code <a href="Link to your next/last post">THIS TEXT NEEDS TO BE ALTERED</a>

    Ah, right, That's easy to fix.

    here is updated code. Just add href to the links

    <?php
    $next_post_link_url = get_permalink( get_adjacent_post(false,'',false)->ID );
    $prev_post_link_url = get_permalink( get_adjacent_post(false,'',true)->ID );
    ?>
    <div id="nav-above" class="navigation">
    <div class="nav-previous"><a href="<?php echo $prev_post_link_url; ?>"><?php echo $prev_post_link_url; ?></a></div>
    <div class="nav-next"><a href="<?php echo $next_post_link_url; ?>"><?php echo $next_post_link_url; ?></a></div>
    </div>

      ...
      Thank you very much. it has worked beautifully.

      By the way, since it was just showing the links on top of each other and I wanted to have them align left and right, I edited the code and got them to do that.

      But since I am not savvy with coding, I just wanted to make sure everything is ok and I didn't escrow anything up that's going to bite me later. Here is the code:
      PHP Code:
                    <div class="navigation">
      <?php
             = get_permalink( get_adjacent_post(false,'',false)->ID );
       =       get_permalink( get_adjacent_post(false,'',true)->ID );
      ?>
                  <div class="alignleft"><a href="<?php echo ; ?>"><?php echo ; ?></a></div>
                  <div class="alignright"><a href="<?php echo ; ?>"><?php echo ; ?></a></div>
              </div>
      Does everything look ok?...

      Thank you very much for taking time to help. I really appreciate your help.
