Adding Conditional Pagination to Pages

[Dan]

Hi there,
Could someone help me figure out what I need to add / edit in this code block to set up pagination conditionally on 4 pages please?

//Adds Pagination to Story Pages
add_action('genesis_after_entry', 'custom_post_nav', 5); 
function custom_post_nav(){ 
if ( is_page(array(176,184,192,196))) { ?>   
<div class="post-nav"> 
<div class="prev-post-nav"> 
<?php previous_post_link(); ?> 
</div>
<div class="next-post-nav"> 
<?php next_post_link(); ?> 
</div><hr> 
</div> 
<?php 
}
}

The issue I have is that the first page in the series picks up and displays the previous link of the page created chronologically prior to it, despite that page (ID 82), not being in the array.

(Note: the last page in the array does not display the link of the next page - go figure!)

Many thanks!

If you are seeking single post navigation, you can place the P/N links using this code, adapted from a navigation post by @braddalton:

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'kp_single_post_nav', 10 );

function kp_single_post_nav() {

     if ( ! is_page( array( 176, 184, 192, 196 )  )  )
        return;

    echo '<div class="pagination-previous alignleft">';
    previous_post_link('%link', 'Previous Post', FALSE);
    echo '</div>';

    echo '<div class="pagination-next alignright">';
    next_post_link('%link', 'Next Post', FALSE);
    echo '</div>';

}

I made this work, but not reliably in brief testing, likely due to chronological page creation. Anomalies, as you also found.

For your code and this, you could hide the links with CSS similar to:

.page-id-497 .pagination-previous a {
    display: none;
}

If you are seeking real pagination, why don't you simply use <!--nextpage--> in the pages where you want to trigger pagebreaks within the page/post? The pagination happens automatically, is reliable and reusable without code.

Hi Tom,
Many thanks for your help!

I didn't think to try hide that link with CSS, so I'll go play around, see if I can't get that to do the job.
