[Resolved] What is the process to put the rel = prev and rel = next tags in the blog?

[Fernando]

Hi,
I am using GeneratePress + Elementor Pro. In the options of the blog of elementor pro I have put the pagination (https://www.jmpacheco.com/blog/), but when entering in page 2, and view source code, the tags rel = prev and rel = next aren’t shown as recommended by Google.

This is an example of the source code of a blog that has what I want to do:

<link rel=”canonical” href=”http://luismvillanueva.com/categoria/seo/page/3&#8243; />
<link rel=”prev” href=”http://luismvillanueva.com/categoria/seo/page/2&#8243; />
<link rel=”next” href=”http://luismvillanueva.com/categoria/seo/page/4&#8243; />

Greetings!!

Hi there,

I think something like this would be better suited for a plugin. I believe Yoast SEO has it built in: https://yoast.com/rel-next-prev-paginated-archives/

Hi Tom,

Yes, it seems that Yoast has implemented that function, but at least I don’t take it.
I want to think that maybe it’s because I have blog posts through an Elementor widget, instead of taking them natively … 🙁

You should implement the function so that you can write on category pages as if they were pages. So then we should not do it this way …

Something SEO related like this belongs in a plugin. You don’t want themes to have this kind of stuff in it, as it’s not something you’d want to lose if you ever change themes.

GP also couldn’t recognize an archives page if you’re using Elementor – it would need to use the same logic that Yoast does, which relies on core WP functionality.

Ok thanks Tom!

No problem 🙂
