Okay, I can’t edit the subject anymore, but I’ve tested it with another default theme (2013) and I had exactly the same problem. So…… Apparently it’s a plugin problem.
The subject should be:
The Pluging breaks the link rel=prev & link rel=next in the actual page.
I’ve been looking into it a little bit more and here’s what I find:
In the head of the page the link rel are perfect:
<link rel='prev' title='Gallery test 10' href='http://fantasygamecreations.com/2014/06/11/gallery-test-10/' />
<link rel='next' title='test om te zien hoe de permalink uitvalt.' href='http://fantasygamecreations.com/2014/06/11/test-om-te-zien-hoe-de-permalink-uitvalt/' />
They’re exactly what they should be. However, when they’re displayed on the page they give:
Previous Post
Hello world!
Next Post
Gallery test 2
And I find the following code in the debug screen of Firebug debugger:
<nav class="navigation post-navigation" role="navigation">
<h1 class="screen-reader-text">Post navigation</h1>
<div class="nav-links">
<a href="http://fantasygamecreations.com/2014/06/09/hello-world/" rel="prev"><span class="meta-nav">Previous Post</span>Hello world!</a><a href="http://fantasygamecreations.com/2014/06/11/gallery-test-2/" rel="next"><span class="meta-nav">Next Post</span>Gallery test 2</a> </div><!-- .nav-links -->
</nav><!-- .navigation -->
So… It appears somehow Slideshow Gallery messes with the post navigation once the header.php has been loaded.
Okay, apparently the people from Tribulant are NOT (or maybe hardly?) paying ANY attention to their OWN forums, cause I’ve posted about this problem there too and gotten no response and I’ve seen other people’s post didn’t get any responses either for at least the last two weeks.
And since they’ve not been responding here either in I think about two weeks, I thought I’d better dig a little deeper.
As it turns out, there’s one particular problem:
If you use pictures from another post, the previous/next links break!!!
So…. Here’s a clear warning:
Do NOT use pictures from another post. That screws up your post navigation.
I figured this out when I decided to directly add images to my default WP library instead of through the post. When I tried to do this through my post the plugin says there are no slides available (the post actually shows the pictures I included in the post, go figure!).
So… how do you get this thing to work? Like this:
1. Make a post and save it as a draft.
2. Add your images directly to your WP library
3. Attach your images to your saved draft
4. Use the code: [tribulant_slideshow post_id="x"] Where x is the id of your saved draft (NOT another post!!!!).
5. Now publish your post.
So…. for me this is resolved now, but of course this is not how it should function. It’s rediculous! I hope someone else with a similar problem finds this solution helpful.
