# Next/Previous Navigation

 * Are there any Next/Prev navigation plugins for posts? I know that there is the
   Scripty Goddess one, but it doesn’t seem to work for me; only the “Home” link
   shows up, not the previous/next. So, is there another way to automatically add
   prev/next navigation? Or perhaps someone can help me with the one from Scripty
   Goddess? Thanks!

 * I have this, and I think it works in 1.2 …..
    `<?php if ($single) { ?> <center
   > <?php previous_post('%', '', 'yes', 'no', 1, '') ?> < < || Home || > > <?php
   next_post('%', '', 'yes', 'no', 1, '') ?> </center> <?php } ?> That goes directly
   above this line: <div class="post"> Obviously you’ll need to alter a couple of
   details…

 * I’m sorry, I’m really lost. I’m using WP 1.2.1 and Kubrick 1.2.6 and when I click
   on an individual entry’s permalink, on that individual post’s page it shows the
   previous and next posts up on the top. But what I want to have is that on my 
   main page it shows the 5 latest entries and then at the bottom have a link saying
   Next Page, which then goes to the next 5 entries, and so on. I also want this
   to happen on when I view my posts by category or by month.
 * I’ve looked at the other next/previous posts, but they aren’t very helpful to
   me. Could anyone help me out please? Thank you very much!
