Display next posts when non previous

1 Views

I have a wordpress theme displaying the Next / Previous post but having some trouble when you’re viewing the first post.

Obviously on the first post there are no other posts previous, however I would like to display the next post 2 posts

My current code looks like: 

<?php next_post('%','', TRUE, '1'); ?>
<?php previous_post('%','', TRUE, '1'); ?>
Post Views: 1

  1. I usually get the current page and then apply a class to that page, I don’t know if you can do this in wordpress.

    // find the current page
$current_page = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
$class = '';
 if($current_page === 'index.php'){
   $class = ' hide'; //hide the previous link if the current page is index.php or the first page.
 }
<ol>
   <li class="<?php echo $class; ?>"><a href="somepage.php">prev</a></li>
   <li><a href="somepage.php">1</a></li>
   <li><a href="somepage.php">2</a></li>
 </ol>

    also check this php pagination script on github php paginator

  2. Let’me try. You can check the position on the loop, to check if it is on beginning or in the end.

    $firstPost=( $wp_query->current_post == 0 && !is_paged() );
$lastPost=( $wp_query->current_post == 0 && $wp_query->current_pos $wp->query->post_count-1 );

    You can change something to get it better.
