Pagination loop posts so always showing both previous/next?

    Currently the default WordPress pagination will not show a previous button if its the first post on the single.php

    Is there anyway to have the posts just loop forever round, so the first post has a next button to the next post and a previous to the last post. For the purpose of a gallery of posts?

    Currently i have..

    <li class="previous"><?php previous_post_link('%link','<span></span> Prev Project') ?></li>
 <li class="next"><?php next_post_link('%link','Next Project <span></span>') ?></li>

    So just both buttons are always there to navigate in a loop?

    Try replacing your code with this:

    <?php
$previous  = get_adjacent_post( false, '', true );
if(!$previous) :
  $first_post = get_posts('posts_per_page=1&post_status=publish');
  if($first_post) : ?>
   <li class="previous">
   <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($first_post[0]->ID); ?>"><span></span> Prev Project</a>
   </li>
  <?php endif; ?>
<?php else : ?>
  <li class="previous"><?php previous_post_link('%link','<span></span> Prev Project') ?></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
$next  = get_adjacent_post( false, '', false );
if(!$next) :
  $last_post = get_posts('posts_per_page=1&post_status=publish&order=ASC');
  if($last_post) : ?>
   <li class="next">
   <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($last_post[0]->ID); ?>"><span></span> Next Project</a>
   </li>
  <?php endif; ?>
<?php else : ?>
  <li class="next"><?php next_post_link('%link','Next Project <span></span>') ?></li>
<?php endif; ?>

    Thank you, works a treat even for custom posts when you add in their query 🙂
