<p>Plugin to support navigation by pages – similar to built in function the_posts_navigation() for posts.<br />
Pages in navigation are filtered by provided menu (Primary menu by default) and sorted in the same order as in menu.<br />
By default, main menu is used, but different menu could be used by calling function for displaying with different menu as parameter.</p>
<h3>Disclaimer!</h3>
<p>This plugin works only with classic themes. With FSE themes it will not work, since it depends on classic menus.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<h4>Basic</h4>
<p>Just install and call <code>the_pages_navigation()</code> in your php template. There is also a <code>get_the_pages_navigation()</code> function which returns string with same content.<br />
Arguments to these functions could be supplied, all optional.<br />
* $menu – a menu ID, slug, name, or object (WP_Term) for which to show pages<br />
* $start_position – start position from which position in menu to start navigation<br />
? $end_position – to which position in menu to show navigation</p>
<h4>Advanced</h4>
<p>There are filters that can help to customize plugin output.</p>
<p>Change menu filter</p>
<pre><code>apply_filters('page_nav_menu', $default_menu)
</code></pre>
<p>Filters menu used for navigation.</p>
<ul>
<li>$default_menu – a menu ID, slug, name, or object (WP_Term)</li>
</ul>
<p>Arrow filters</p>
<pre><code>apply_filters( 'page_nav_left_arrow', $HTML )
apply_filters( 'page_nav_right_arrow', $HTML )
</code></pre>
<p>Filters arrow output.</p>
<ul>
<li>$HTML – HTML of arrow, coded as SVG, img or something else.</li>
</ul>
<p>Filter output</p>
<pre><code>apply_filters( 'arrow_wrapper', $HTML_output, $left, $enabled, $output_image, $output_link, $output_div, $output_text )
</code></pre>
<p>Filters whole HTML output.</p>
<ul>
<li>$HTML_output – as the name says</li>
<li>$left – output is for left side (previous)</li>
<li>$enabled – navigation on that side is enabled</li>
<li>$output_image – html of arrow image</li>
<li>$output_link – URL of link to which arrow leads</li>
<li>$output_div – wrapper of text besides arrow</li>
<li>$output_text – text besides arrow</li>
</ul>
<h4>Examples of filtering</h4>

    return '<svg width="53" height="32" viewBox="0 0 53 32" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M51.77 15.994H1M16.622 31L1 15.998 16.622 1v30z" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"/></svg>';
} );
</code></pre>

<p><strong>IMPORTANT: Make sure you are using the right plugin.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Next/Previous Post Link Plus</strong> is intended for use in <strong>single post</strong> templates.</li>
<li><strong>Next/Previous Page Link Plus</strong> is intended for use in <strong>page</strong> templates.</li>
</ul>
<p>The two plugins have similar sounding, but different, function names. If you mistakenly install the wrong plugin, you will get a “call to undefined function” error. If you want to create next/previous links for your pages, please check out:<br />

<p><strong>IMPORTANT: This plugin is not compatible with PHP 4.</strong> If you try to install it on a host running PHP 4, you will get a parse error. WordPress has officially ended support for PHP 4 as of version 3.2, so you should upgrade to PHP 5.2 now. For those who cannot upgrade, you can download the alternate PHP 4 compatible version of the plugin. The only difference with the PHP 4 version is that the <em>%category</em> variable will not work with custom taxonomies.<br />

<p>This plugin creates two new template tags — <strong>next_post_link_plus</strong> and <strong>previous_post_link_plus</strong> — which are upgraded versions of the core WordPress next_post_link and previous_post_link template tags. The new tags include all of the functionality of the core tags, plus the following additional options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sort the next/previous post links on columns other than post_date (e.g. alphabetically).</li>
<li>Sort next/previous links on custom fields (both string and integer sorts are supported).</li>
<li>Full WordPress 3.3 compatibility, including support for custom post types, custom taxonomies, and post formats.</li>
<li>Loop around to the first post if there is no next post (and vice versa).</li>
<li>Retrieve the first/last post, rather than the previous/next post (for First|Previous|Next|Last navigation links).</li>
<li>Display post thumbnails alongside the links (WordPress 2.9 or higher).</li>
<li>Truncate the link titles to any length, and display custom text in the tooltip.</li>
<li>Display the title, date, author, category, and meta value of the next/previous links.</li>
<li>Specify a custom date format for the %date variable.</li>
<li>Restrict next/previous links to same category, taxonomy, format, author, custom field value, custom post ID list, or custom category list.</li>
<li>Exclude categories, custom taxonomies, post formats, or individual post IDs.</li>
<li>Three category exclusion methods for greater control over the navigation stream.</li>
<li>Return multiple next/previous links (e.g. the next N links, in an HTML list).</li>
<li>Return the ID, title, date, href attribute, or post object of the next/previous links, instead of echoing them to the screen.</li>
<li>Return false if no next/previous link is found, so themes may conditionally display alternate text.</li>
<li>Works with Post Types Order and other popular post reordering plugins.</li>
</ul>

Ambrosite Next/Previous Post Link Plus

Has many options to customize as well.  Hasn't been update for a while, but still works perfectly with WP 4.5.3.



Excellent - does what it says.

Provides next/previous post link template tags that work the way you'd expect the built-in WP functions to work!



A beautiful thing

This plugin has saved me countless hours and does exactly what it needs to do with easy setup and lots of options. Love it.

Highly recommended

Upgrades the next/previous post link functions to reorder or loop adjacent post navigation links, display post thumbnails, and customize link format.
