Post pagination showing random posts (or no posts)

[Christina]

My post navigation is showing either random posts, no posts at all, or showing one post and then linking to another. Could anyone tell me what the problem might be? Here's my function:

function prev_next_post_nav() {
	if( !is_singular('post') ) 
		return;

		if( $prev_post = get_previous_post() ): 
			echo'<span class="prev-next-navigation previous">';
			$prevpost = get_the_post_thumbnail( $prev_post->ID, 'thumbnail-portrait', array('class' => '.pagination-previous')); 
			previous_post_link( '%link',"$prevpost  <p>Previous</p>", TRUE ); 
			echo'</span>';
		endif; 
	
		if( $next_post = get_next_post() ): 
			echo'<span class="prev-next-navigation next">';
			$nextpost = get_the_post_thumbnail( $next_post->ID, 'thumbnail-portrait', array('class' => '.pagination-next')); 
			next_post_link( '%link',"$nextpost  <p>Next</p>", TRUE ); 
			echo'</span>';
		endif; 
}

Which hook are you using?

I moved it from entry content to after entry. Is that the problem?

I moved it to the entry footer, but it's still not working properly.
add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'prev_next_post_nav' );

I don't think so. When i test the code it works.

Hmm, any ideas of where I could start looking for the cause of the problem on the live site? I don't even know where to start.

On the latest posts, it just shows a blank spot for the previous post. It works on some posts, but on others it will show a post that was 3 or 4 posts previous, not immediately previous (same for "next" posts).

And thank you very much for your help so far!

When i test the code it shows a previous post after the latest post. You might want to test the code in a fresh copy of the Genesis Sample theme to find out if its a problem with your theme.

Yeah, it's a problem with the theme. I've replicated it on a staging site, but even after stripping almost all other code in the child theme, it's still happening. I'll keep looking. Thanks for verifying that the code is good Brad!
