How to Add Next / Previous Links in WordPress -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.
