adding pagination to custom post type page template

[dmcleod87]

hi all,

working on a new portfolio website and have setup a CPT named 'portfolio'. I have also created a custom page template for each portfolio item. what i want to do is to add pagination to the bottom of this page to in order to cycle through the other portfolio items. below is the code i've used for my custom page template. the theme is based on the Genesis Sample theme.

can someone point me in the right direction? i've tried a few solutions that i found online but nothing seemed to work...thanks!

<?php
/*
Template Name: Portfolio Item
*/

remove_action('genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop');

add_action('genesis_loop', 'custom_loop');

function custom_loop() {

    global $paged;
    $args = array('post_type' => 'portfolio'); ?>

	<article itemtype="http://schema.org/CreativeWork" itemscope="itemscope" class="post-<?php print $pageid; ?> page type-page status-publish entry">
	<div class="entry-content" itemprop="text">

	<div class="custom-page-content">
	<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post();

	echo '<div class="intro-text-wrapper">';

	/* Display the page title */
	echo '<h1 class="page-title"> ' . get_field('project_page_title') . ' </h1>';

	/* The following code displays the Advanced Custom Fields meta boxes */
	echo '<div class="intro-text"> ' . get_field('project_intro_text') . ' </div>';

	echo '</div>';

	/* Show page content below intro text */
	do_action( 'genesis_entry_content' );

	endwhile; endif; ?>

	</div></div></article>

	<?php }

genesis();

Is this an archive page or a single-portfolio.php?

For single posts/cpt you would use previous_post_link and next_post_link for post navigation
For archives you would use the_posts_pagination for Previous/next page navigation

hi brad,

it's a single-portfolio.php template. is this snippet what i would be looking for? https://wpbeaches.com/add-custom-post-type-navigation-links-in-genesis/

i tried it just then and no luck.

[dmcleod87]

figured it out. using the tutorial i mentioned above and following brad's advice, i added parts of the snippet to my custom template, rather than to functions.php

hope this helps someone else in the future!

<?php
/*
Template Name: Portfolio Item
*/

remove_action('genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop');

add_action('genesis_loop', 'custom_loop');

function custom_loop() {

    global $paged;
    $args = array('post_type' => 'portfolio');

	genesis_markup( array(
			'html5'   => '<div %s>',
			'xhtml'   => '<div class="navigation">',
			'context' => 'adjacent-entry-pagination',
	) )

    ?>

	<article itemtype="http://schema.org/CreativeWork" itemscope="itemscope" class="post-<?php print $pageid; ?> page type-page status-publish entry">
	<div class="entry-content" itemprop="text">

	<div class="custom-page-content">
	<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post();

	echo '<div class="intro-text-wrapper">';

	/* Display the page title */
	echo '<h1 class="page-title"> ' . get_field('project_page_title') . ' </h1>';

	/* The following code displays the Advanced Custom Fields meta boxes */
	echo '<div class="intro-text"> ' . get_field('project_intro_text') . ' </div>';

	echo '</div>';

	/* Show page content below intro text */
	do_action( 'genesis_entry_content' );

	// Add pagination Portfolio Post Type
	echo '<div class="pagination-previous alignleft">';
	previous_post_link();
	echo '</div>';

	echo '<div class="pagination-next alignright">';
	next_post_link();
	echo '</div>';

	echo '</div>';

	endwhile; endif; ?>

	</div></div></article>

	<?php }

genesis();

Good stuff. Genesis do have a function for single post navigation however it includes the conditional

 is_singular('post')

If they changed that to

is_singular()

it could also be used on CPT's

/**
 * Display links to previous and next post, from a single post.
 *
 * @since 1.5.1
 *
 * @return null Return early if not a post.
 */
function genesis_prev_next_post_nav() {

	if ( ! is_singular() )  
		return;

	genesis_markup( array(
		'html5'   => '<div %s>',
		'xhtml'   => '<div class="navigation">',
		'context' => 'adjacent-entry-pagination',
	) );

	echo '<div class="pagination-previous alignleft">';
	previous_post_link();
	echo '</div>';

	echo '<div class="pagination-next alignright">';
	next_post_link();
	echo '</div>';

	echo '</div>';

}

Hi, i tried to add post navigation to single posts, using the snippet provided here : http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/entry-content/

but its just showing link to the post - "Hello World" only after entry.

Any Hint why its behaving like this ?

Thanks in advance

[Brad Dalton]

Must be the first post. Check the 2nd post which should includes links to both the previous and next post.
