Question

It seems like {PreviousPost} and {NextPost} is not working on Tumblr for creating custom themes. Here’s my code. Can someone point to my mistake…

<div>
    {block:PreviousPost}<a href="{PreviousPost}"><span>Previous Post</span></a>{/block:PreviousPost}
    {block:NextPost}<a href="{NextPost}"><span>Next Post</span></a>{/block:NextPost}
</div>

You need to wrap it in {block:PermalinkPagination}…{/block:PermalinkPagination} blocks, like this:

{block:PermalinkPagination}
    {block:PreviousPost}
        <a rel="prev" href="{PreviousPost}">{lang:Previous Post}</a>
    {/block:PreviousPost}
    {block:NextPost}
        <a rel="next" href="{NextPost}">{lang:Next Post}<a/>
    {/block:NextPost}
{/block:PermalinkPagination}
