 * HEllo zemanelsilva94,
 * Please pass the third parameter as “TRUE” for next_post_link() and previous_post_link()
   template tags in your single page template.

 * I didnt really understand the above answer due to my lack of php skills.
    But
   i managed to solve it.
 * In the Single.php file all you need to change is this part:
 * <?php
    $prev_post = get_previous_post(); $next_post = get_next_post(); ?>
 * to
 *     ```
       <?php
       	$prev_post = get_previous_post(true);
       	$next_post = get_next_post(true);
       ?>
       ```
