I have the following issue with a theme I am developing:
in my index this code
<?php previous_posts_link(); ?>
<?php next_posts_link(); ?>
returns blank results…
if instead i use
<?php previous_post_link(); ?>
<?php next_post_link(); ?>
it shows the next post (a single page). Why is that you think? Any idea?
I use the above within the loop.
On the face of it the difference is only the slightly different spelling. The actual difference is that previous_posts_link should be used outside the loop, providing a means to paginate through posts i.e. view/page/2 where page 2 can be taken into a query_posts call getting the next batch of posts.
Whereas previous_post_link/next_post_link should be used inside the loop, providing a link to previous/next post in the publish chronology.
