Template Tags/previous posts link

Contents

Description

This creates a link to the next posts. Yes, it says "previous posts," but it's named that just to confuse you. It assumes that your posts are displaying in reverse chronological order (most recent posts first) causing the previous page to show posts from later in the timeline.

Parameters

$label
(string) (optional) The link text.
Default: '« Previous Page'
$max_pages
(integer) (optional) Limit the number of pages on which the link is displayed
Default: 0

Examples

Default Usage

<?php previous_posts_link(); ?>

<?php previous_posts_link('« Newer Entries', '0') ?>
