   Is there any way of appending a variable onto the URL generated by the next_post_link function?

   next_post_link('%link', 'Next', FALSE, '1');

   As is stands, this would link to, for example:

   http://mysite.com/films/oliver-twist/

   When I need it to link to:

   http://mysite.com/films/oliver-twist/?new=1

   from certain pages.

   Any help appreciated!

   I dont think you can do it with next_post_link. try it with get_adjacent_post.
   something like this:
   

   <?php
   $next_post = get_adjacent_post( false, '', false );
   $previous_post = get_adjacent_post( false, '', true );
   if($previous_post) : ?>
   <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($previous_post->ID); ?>?new=1"><?php echo get_the_title($previous_post->ID) ?></a>
   <?php php endif; ?>
   <?php if($next_post) : ?>
   <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($next_post->ID); ?>?new=1"><?php echo get_the_title($next_post->ID) ?></a>
   <?php php endif; ?>

   Hi traumm, instead of next_post_link, have you tried the get_next_posts_link function? I believe this is a similar thread:

   I ended up get_adjacent_post in the end - it's working fine now!

   Thanks both!
