previous_posts_link() WordPress Function
The previous_posts_link() function in WordPress is used to display a link to the previous set of posts, if available. This is typically used in conjunction with the next_posts_link() function to create a set of links for navigating between posts.
previous_posts_link( string $label = null ) #
Displays the previous posts page link.
Parameters
- $label
(string)(Optional) Previous page link text.
Default value: null
More Information
If you need the values for use in PHP, use get_previous_posts_link().
Because post queries are usually sorted in reverse chronological order, next_posts_link() usually points to older entries (toward the end of the set) and previous_posts_link() usually points to newer entries (toward the beginning of the set).
