Might look at how the WordPress Default theme uses those in wp-content/themes/default/single.php
MichaelH, I appreciate the tip. I’ve tried it already. The default theme was one of the first ones that I tried activating. It still isn’t showing up, even when using that theme. I took a look at the single.php file and the code is there, it just isn’t showing up.
Is there an option to turn on or off? Or has there been issues with this with certain types of hosting or database issues?
And you’re checking for these links on single entry pages (for posts) to see the links? (just to be sure)..
You of course must have enough entries for this to work..
If it’s a new install (1 post default) then you’ll not see the links because there’s only 1 post.. unless you’ve created more..
Hi t31os_,
Yes, I have about 30 or so posts and these are for the single posts view.
Ok, well simply for testing sake, if you enter a bit of random text before the next posts link, does that then show up ok?…
Yep, text shows up just fine. I’ve tested this in the past. In fact, I had a pipe (|) separating my next_post_link and previous_post_link and the pipe shows up just fine.
If this problem is present on a clean install i’m baffled…
Unless you’re making modifications to placement of next posts link or elsewhere in the single.php (such as query_posts), then i can’t see what the problem could be (though you said it happens with non-modified default themes, or other themes).
If this is just a test install, perhaps turning on debugging would help..
define('WP_DEBUG',true);
in wp-config.php
It might not help at all, but then again it may give an indication of a problem that relates..
How about DB tables (database), checked these for problems?
