This plugin does most of what you want, otherwise you can use it as starter perhaps.

This plugin doesn’t apply for posts itself.
I need to modify the “page.php” & “single.php”.
This plugin is for the archive.php, index.php or search.php files.
I did try to replace the line of code I mentioned above with the code provided in the installation document of the plugin you suggested but it didn’t go for it.
In short, replacing:
<?php link_pages('<p><strong>' . __('Pages:') . '</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>
with:
<?php if(function_exists('wp_page_numbers')) { wp_page_numbers(); } ?>
and the plugin doesn’t work.
No page numbers are displayed at all below a post.

That’s weird. I don’t use it myself, but many people do. Perhaps you could ask the author what’s wrong. Otherwise, the code might inspire you in making the thing happen yourself?
[Edit], you’re right it works only at the pages with more posts. Understandably too. You can’t use the plugin and its files as a starting point? Apparently it only looks in the section where it is installed, but perhaps you can have it look in the index-file (or so) by default.

I’m affraid that my knowledge of PHP isn’t extensive enough to modify the script.
I was hoping for a simple solution/plugin.
It amazes me that there isn’t something like this standard in WordPress.

I’ve managed to create this piece of code:
<?php link_pages(‘<p>‘ . __(‘Pages:’) . ‘ ‘, ‘</p>’, ‘next’, ‘ Next Page »’, ‘« Previous Page ‘); ?>
This shows the Previous/Next option at the bottom of a multi paged post.
However it doesn’t show the page numbers.
Any idea’s on how to achieve this?

A bit futher, where i really need some help:
I’ve got these 2 lines of code:
<?php link_pages(‘<p>‘ . __(‘Pages:’) . ‘ ‘, ‘</p>’, ‘number’); ?>
<?php link_pages(” . __(‘ ‘) . ”, ”, ‘next’, ‘ Next Page »’, ‘« Previous Page ‘); ?>
This results in:
Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
« Previous Page Next Page »
However I would like it to look like this:
« Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Page Next Page »
But I doubt that this is possible, worst case I could live with:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
« Previous Page Next Page »

This last view should look like (can’t edit my post???):
Row1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 (center aligned)
Row2: « Previous Page (left aligned) (right aligned) Next Page »
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
With a table it doesn’t work because the syntax can’t be broken.
Also I would like to know if it’s possible to ‘gettext’ the “Next Page” and “Previous Page”. I’ve tried this in the syntax but it’s not accepted.

No one who can help me out on this?
I can’t imagine that I am the only one with this query!
How about
<p><?php previous_post('%', 'Previous Page', 'no'); ?>
| <?php next_post('%', 'Next Page', 'no'); ?></p>
And link_pages is depreciated function use wp_link_pages, something like
<?php wp_link_pages('before=<p>&after=</p>&next_or_number=number&pagelink=page %'); ?>

Hi, the first suggestion you posted (using link_pages) only returns the | symbol. Looks like the code isn’t processed.
The wp_link_pages code doesn’t seem to accept a combination of
&next_or_number=next&pagelink=page %
either of those works fine, but a combination doesn’t…
Also I can’t seem to style the Previous/Next links to show up all the way on the left and right of the post.
Try <?php previous_post_link(); ?> and <?php next_post_link(); ?> rather than
<p><?php previous_post('%', 'Previous Page', 'no'); ?>
| <?php next_post('%', 'Next Page', 'no'); ?></p>

Those are meant for skipping to the next post. Not for skipping to the next page of a post.
I did find this, I’m testing with right now:
<?php
wp_link_pages(‘before=<div class=”next”>&after=</div>&next_or_number=next
&previouspagelink=« Previous Page’);
wp_link_pages(‘before=<div class=”number”>&after=</div>
&next_or_number=number’);
wp_link_pages(‘before=<div class=”next”>&after=</div>&next_or_number=next
&nextpagelink=Next Page »’);
?>

Driving me nuts!
The code above turns into (can’t figure out why!):
Next Page
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Next Page
Should be:
Next Page
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
WHen I click to the next page, it shows up like:
Next Page
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Previous PageNext Page
(no typo! It really says this!)
The last page is the only one that shows corretly…
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Previous Page
I feel like I’m almost there, but it’s still not turning out the way I want it to, any tips/suggestions?
Well if you feel you have something that nearly works then do some styling to make it appear to the left and right.
Have a look at the Default theme for wordpress which has something like this
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
</div>
You will need to do the same styling (i.e. <div class=”navigation”>) to make your thing work as you want it to.
If you are not good with CSS, get someone else to do it for you.
