Hello,
I'm trying to add previous/next links/buttons to individual posts using the Beautiful theme. I went to this tutorial: http://wpsites.net/web-design/next-previous-post-links-genesis/ but am not sure where to add the code. (Forgive me, but I'm not HTML savvy.) I went in to the Beautiful child theme's functions.php file, as instructed, and tried adding the given code at the end of that file to no effect. If someone could tell me where exactly to add this code, that would be great.
Thank you!
Deonne
http://www.deonnekahler.comMarch 12, 2014 at 11:20 am #94460Brad DaltonParticipantYou could use code like this in your child themes functions.php file
Or this
//* Remove the post navigation (requires HTML5 theme support) remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content_nav', 12 );

Thanks for the speedy response! I added that first one and it worked, but my only remaining needs are padding it so it doesn't run into the comments, and making a space between the two links, previous and next. (Again, forgive my ignorance. I'm a writer, not a tech genius, ha.)
You can see what I mean here:

What do you think? I feel like there's a whole lot of stuff going on in general at the bottom of posts and I'd like to clean them up somehow.
Thanks!

March 12, 2014 at 1:44 pm #94498DeonneMemberBrad - that worked, thank you! Now I need to work on neatening everything up. Have a great day.
March 12, 2014 at 1:58 pm #94499DeonneMemberBrad,
So sorry, I spoke too soon. What I want is the link to move through the posts chronologically, not by category. I assume there's a different code for that?
Thank you!

Forgive my lameness. I did that - took out the previous code and put in that second one:
//* Remove the post navigation (requires HTML5 theme support)
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content_nav', 12 );But nothing happened, no links. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much for your help,
Deonne
March 13, 2014 at 12:47 am #94596Brad DaltonParticipantThis should work:
//* Remove the post navigation (requires HTML5 theme support) add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content_nav', 12 );
March 13, 2014 at 8:45 am #94659DeonneMemberBrad,
What the heck am I doing wrong? Now I'm getting this error when I plug in the code you gave me.:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home3/deonne/public_html/wp-content/themes/beautiful-pro/functions.php on line 261
I'm adding the code at the end of the child theme's functions.php file - is there a different place it should go? (I had to replace the functions file with the original to get it back to normal. Deleting the code didn't work. Argh.)

March 13, 2014 at 8:57 am #94665Brad DaltonParticipantMarch 13, 2014 at 9:08 am #94668DeonneMemberWeird. I had copied your code from the email and not this page and it gave me extra weirdness, apparently. I just plugged in the code from this page and nothing is showing up on my posts. It's just those two lines of code, correct? Any ideas?
March 13, 2014 at 9:33 am #94679Brad DaltonParticipantMarch 13, 2014 at 9:37 am #94682DeonneMemberBrad - I'm sorry to be dense. Fix what? It's back to the original functions file but with those two lines of code added. Shouldn't that work?

I just tried doing this to add the previous and next buttons to my site and now I can't get into my site. I did copy the code from the functions.php file before I made the change. How can I restore my functions.php file back to what it was originally? I can't log into my WP dashboard or see anything but can get into my host.
This is what I had added:
//* Remove the post navigation (requires HTML5 theme support) add_action( ‘genesis_entry_content’, ‘genesis_do_post_content_nav’, 12 );

I got my site back. I'm getting pretty good at troubleshooting these days! I used WP Debug and was able to find what line of code I had to remove to get it back. All's good in the world, except I still don't know how to add the previous and next buttons to a blog post?
