Blog Next & Previous button not working

Hello WordPress Members,

I am trying to create a template from a scratch but I have a small issue with the Next & Previous button.

I placed the below codes in the home.php after the <?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?> code.

<?php previous_posts_link('<span class="glyphicons glyphicons-arrow-left valign"></span> Nieuwe Posts') ?>

<?php next_posts_link('Oude posts <span class="glyphicons glyphicons-arrow-right valign"></span>') ?>

Any ideas why the buttons don’t show up ?
If I need to post more information please let me know ! 🙂

Edited:
I just inserted this code <?php posts_nav_link() ?> which shows a next & previous button. But when clicking on next or previous button it sents me to another page with the same posts.

Hello nesoor,

I think this code can help you:


<?php
		// Start the loop.
		while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

			// Include the single post content template.
			get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'single' );

			// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template.
			if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) {
				comments_template();
			}

			if ( is_singular( 'attachment' ) ) {
				// Parent post navigation.
				the_post_navigation( array(
					'prev_text' => _x( '<span class="meta-nav">Published in</span><span class="post-title">%title</span>', 'Parent post link', 'twentysixteen' ),
				) );
			} elseif ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
				// Previous/next post navigation.
				the_post_navigation( array(
					'next_text' => '<span class="meta-nav" aria-hidden="true">' . __( 'Next', 'twentysixteen' ) . '</span> ' .
						'<span class="screen-reader-text">' . __( 'Next post:', 'twentysixteen' ) . '</span> ' .
						'<span class="post-title">%title</span>',
					'prev_text' => '<span class="meta-nav" aria-hidden="true">' . __( 'Previous', 'twentysixteen' ) . '</span> ' .
						'<span class="screen-reader-text">' . __( 'Previous post:', 'twentysixteen' ) . '</span> ' .
						'<span class="post-title">%title</span>',
				) );
			}

			// End of the loop.
		endwhile;
		?>

That code should go in the home.php ?
I am creating a theme completely from a scratch I don’t have any themes installed not even the themes that come with WordPress.
