The standard WordPress template tags used for post navigation (next_post, previous_post, next_post_link, and previous_post_link) don’t offer this functionality, leaving you with nothing returned if there isn’t a post. This plugin changes that.

NOTE!!! This plugin only works (without a hack in your template) on single post pages.

You can find the plugin home page (and leave comments) here.

Usage

plr_[next|previous]_post_link(‘format’, ‘link’, ‘in_same_cat’, ‘excluded_categories’)

Example

This would show “Next Post Title →” as a link if there was a post that came after the currently-viewed post, or “next post:” as plain text if the current post is the most recent.

Parameters

This plugin uses the same parameters and format as the next_post and previous_post WordPress functions. For more info on these functions, please visit the codex.
