With this extension for the WordPress plugin PostLists it is possible to add next-/prev- navigation links to a PostLists list.
The following placeholders can be used to create the links in the before- and after- fields of the list configuration: 
%ple_navigation_next_link% will get replaced to the next-link you defined in the “navigation next link” field of your list (you need to configure that field and can use %navigation_next_url% there), if the configured number of posts to display was reached. 
%ple_navigation_prev_link% will get replaced to the prev-link you defined in the “navigation prev link” field of your list if the prev-link is really needed (you need to configure that field and can use %navigation_prev_url% there). 
%ple_navigation_variable% will get replaced to the the name of the get-variable to overwrite the offset of this list. 
%ple_navigation_next_offset% will get replaced to the offset to get the posts after the last post of this list. 
%ple_navigation_next_url% will get replaced to the url to this list showing the posts after the last post of this list. 
%ple_navigation_prev_offset% will get replaced to the offset to get the posts before the first post of this list. 
%ple_navigation_prev_url% will get replaced to the url to this list showing the posts before the first post of this list.
