    Is there any way to grab ONLY the URLs of the previous and next? The next_posts_link tag generates a button with it, I just need to grab the URL dynamically. This code also need to be in the headers so it would have to work outside the loop.

    Many WordPress ‘template functions’ also have a corresponding ‘get_’ so in this case get_next_posts_link.

    See the line number 1113 area of wp-includes/link-template.php in version 2.7.1

    Thanks but it doesn’t seem to be working. Here is the code so you get an idea of what I’m trying to do.

    <link href="<?php get_next_posts_link(); ?>" id="arr-nav-right-link" />

    I want the link to the next posts populate the href. Is this possible?

    When I check the HTML source the href is empty. No link.

    <link href="" id="arr-nav-right-link" />

    I tried doing:

    <?php echo get_next_posts_link(); ?>

    But it returns the entire link with an . All I need is the URL.

    Look at the code in wp-includes/link-template.php looks like it eventually uses next_posts( $max_page, false ) at line 1099

    Michael thanks! That worked! Why isn’t this documented on the Template Tags page?

    Michael, this works for generating the pages urls, but on the a single post page it doesn’t generate a url for the next post. Is there a separate function for that?
