We’ve received a few queries about the next/previous link in our WordPress themes from people wanting to know how to implement it in their themes. Well, the answer is simply insert the posts_nav_link() template tag into the php files of your theme that has the if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) loop. These files include index.php and archive.php. When you use the posts_nav_link() tag the next/previous links are generated automatically when required. However, the tag only works for pages of posts.
So where do you insert the posts_nav_link() tag?
You insert it after the loop. In other words, after the <php? endif; > towards the bottom of the file.
If you want to find out more about the posts_nav_link() tag visit the following WordPress pages:

Quite a beautiful website. I recently built mine and i was looking for some design ideas and your website gave me some. Did you develop the website alone?
Thank you
Why, thank you Cherish. Glad to have been of service and yes, this is an in-house website development.
