get_next_posts_link() WordPress Function
The get_next_posts_link() function displays a link to the next set of posts, if there are any. This function is useful for paginating through a large number of posts. It accepts a parameter for the maximum number of posts to display on the next page.
get_next_posts_link( string $label = null, int $max_page ) #
Retrieves the next posts page link.
Parameters
- $label
(string)(Optional)Content for link text.
Default value: null
- $max_page
(int)(Optional) Max pages. Default 0.
Return
(string|void) HTML-formatted next posts page link.
More Information
Gets a link to the previous set of posts within the current query.
Because post queries are usually sorted in reverse chronological order, get_next_posts_link() usually points to older entries (toward the end of the set) and get_previous_posts_link() usually points to newer entries (toward the beginning of the set).
