Question

&         


        

Answer 1

Just to be clear:

Colin's answer isn't correct in my opinion. get_previous_post is not deprecated, previous_post is.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_previous_post http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post

For me the use of get_next_post works still fine for me.

if(get_next_post()) {  }
if(get_previous_post()) {  }
