[Support request] Rename previous and next links on single blog post

[Tesco]

Hi,

I’m trying to rename the '<' and '>' arrows in single blog posts to: '«« previous blog post' and 'next blog post »»'

add_filter( 'generate_previous_link_text', function() {
	return '«« previous blog post';
} );

add_filter( 'generate_next_link_text', function() {
	return 'next blog post »»';
} );

I’m using the code above on my child theme functions but is not working…

Note: Child theme is correctly implemented and there is several functions and filters functioning from there.

Please help!

Hi there,

Would you consider using this method?
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-post-navigation/

Let me know 🙂

[Tesco]

Maybe… But why is this filter not working for me?

Ideally I would prefer to use a simple filter on functions.php and styling as I want

Hi there,

can you share a link to where its ‘not’ working ?

Try this:

add_filter( 'generate_post_navigation_args', function( $args ) {
    if ( is_single() ) {

        $args['previous_format'] = '<div class="nav-previous"><span class="prev" title="' . esc_attr__( '«« previous blog post', 'generatepress' ) . '">%link</span></div>';
        $args['next_format'] = '<div class="nav-next"><span class="next" title="' . esc_attr__( 'next blog post »»', 'generatepress' ) . '">%link</span></div>';
    }

    return $args;
} );

Works!

Thanks!

[David]

Glad to hear that
