[Resolved] Turn next and previous post links to theme buttons?

[James]

Hey guys,

I am using the latest GP premium and the the Read theme, I am wanting the next post and previous post text links to be buttons. Please can somebody assist me?

Thanks

[Augustine]

Hi, To turn next and previous post links to buttons go to your Theme Customizer >> Layout >> Blog.

Should incase you’re still having issues do let me know and i’ll be happy to assist.

Hey,

Thanks for the fast reply, however that just changes the read more option to a button. I’m looking to change the post navigation text links seen in this screenshot below.

post nav text link

Thanks

Hi there,

do you have an example of the style you want to achieve ?

[James]

I was thinking something that just stands out more like in the screen below.

Not overly fussy on the end result, just think the current text links are very blended in. I’d be happy to use the theme buttons style, but I dont know how to convert the text link to a button link, so appreciate any help provided! 🙂

Thank you!

Try this CSS:

#nav-below {
    margin-top: 10px;
}

.nav-previous,
.nav-next {
    position: relative;
    margin-top: 10px;
}
#nav-below .nav-previous a,
#nav-below .nav-next a {
    display: block;
    padding: 20px 40px;
    background-color: #ff0000;
    color: #fff;
}
#nav-below .nav-previous a:hover,
#nav-below .nav-next a:hover {
    background-color: #565656;
}
.nav-previous .gp-icon,
.nav-next .gp-icon {
    position: absolute;
    top: calc(50% - 15px);
    left: 10px;
    font-size: 20px;
    color: #fff;
}
.nav-next .gp-icon {
    left: unset;
    right: 0;
}
@media(min-width: 600px) {
    #nav-below {
        display: flex;
        justify-content: space-between;      
    }
    .nav-previous,
    .nav-next {
        max-width: calc(50% - 10px);
    }
}

Let us know. May want to change its behaviour for mobiles.

[James]

That is perfect! Thank you very much! 🙂

Just one final thing, you are correct it needs its behavior changing on mobile. At the moment, they are side by side on mobile and the text looks like a long vertical list of words haha. Can we stack them vertically on mobile at all?

Thank you

[David]

Updated the CSS above.

[James]

Perfect!

Thank you very much David! Top support as always! <3

@David,

I have added the provided CSS, which is working fine on desktop, but on mobile it not rendering properly see – https://i.postimg.cc/rsjH7cPD/Whats-App-Image-2023-03-22-at-14-42-01.jpg

Hi Ravi

do you want to raise a new topic where you can share a link to your site, and i can take a look ?

[Ravi Saive]

@david,

Here is the link to site

[Ying]

Do you want the nav links stacked on mobile?

If so, try adding this CSS:

@media(max-width:767px) {
.single-post nav#nav-below {
    flex-direction: column;
}

.single-post nav#nav-below > * {
    width: 100%;
}
}

[Ravi Saive]

@David and @Ying

All I want is the prev and next nav should look like this on:
