Next and/or previous post content

2 Views

How can I show the content in next or previous post?

For example, I use this to display the next post link with title:

Read More
   <div class="alignleftfp">
    <?php next_post_link('%link', '%title'); ?>
    </div>
    <div class="alignrightfp">
    <?php previous_post_link('%link', '%title'); ?>
    </div>

Is it possible to show the content of that post (100 Words)?

  1. Take a look at the get_adjacent_post function.

    It takes three paramters, all of which are optional:

    • a boolean, whether the post should be from the same category
    • a string of category IDs that should be excluded
    • a boolean, whether the previous (true) or next (false) post should be retrieved.

    Hence the previous post, regardless of category can be retrieved via

    $prev_post = get_adjacent_post( false, '', true );

    and the next via

    $next_post = get_adjacent_post( false, '', false );

    If successful, the function will return a complete post object, hence:

    echo $prev_post->post_excerpt;

    should do.
