Previous/Next don’t work. Everything else does.

I am using the links on navigation buttons. The Random, First and Last links work. (First is just hard-coded). On adding debug it reports not found and just spits out the home page – which it goes to on clicking Previous or Next.

Keep up the good work!!

Please post the complete URL that you use with previous/next, before redirecting.

Thanks.
The order of the posts is (oldest to latest) : Euler’s Dimension – The Lies District – Virtual HappYness – Harmony – Food v/s Shampoo.

When I go to infinitless.com it is automatically redirected to https://infinitless.com/244 – the latest post. From here if I click on “Prev” it goes to a page – https://infinitless.com/privacy-policy

If I go to (say) the second post https://infinitless.com/243 and click on “Next”, it again goes to the last post https://infinitless.com/244

The redirection of homepage to latest post is handled by a plugin called “Redirection” by Joh Godley. I have used the URL
“http://www.infinitless.com?redirect_to=latest” from this plugin to feed into the “Redirection” plugin so that it redirects the homepage to the latest post. If this can be done using this plugin (or even without using any plugin) I would rather prefer it but just don’t know how!

The various links I am using are:
<< = http://www.infinitless.com/?redirect_to=first
< = http://www.infinitless.com/?redirect_to=prev
Random = http://www.infinitless.com/?redirect_to=random
> = http://www.infinitless.com/?redirect_to=next
>> = http://www.infinitless.com/?redirect_to=latest

Thanks again!

P.S. I don’t know where the #8221 is coming from in the URL I wrote above.

Any updates? 🙂
I even updated the permalinks to simple numbers. Still no luck 🙁

I tried to implement the solution here – removed the “/” from my links but still no luck! 🙁

OK. I managed to solve it. In the URL for the button – instead of typing https://www.infinitless.com?redirect_to=next I only typed ?redirect_to=next and the same for previous. Now all buttons worked.

Just for consistency I updated all URLs to eliminate the initial part even though the last, first and random were working before.

“Previous” and “Next” work only reliably for URLs of posts. See the documentation: https://documentation.chattymango.com/documentation/redirect-url-to-post/getting-started-redirect-url-to-post/sort-order-parameters/#previous-or-next-post There needs to be an order of posts of the same post type, as determined by their dates. The home page, however, is usually a page that was automatically generated to show a list of post and it doesn’t have a post type or date.

So, the pattern is:

https://www.infinitless.com/url-of-a-post?redirect_to=prev

or

https://www.infinitless.com/url-of-a-post?redirect_to=next
