Sorry, it didn’t show all of it. Try this:

ID, array(150,150) );
next_post_link(‘%link’, ”.$nextthumbnail.”, false);
?>

ID, array(150,150) );
previous_post_link(‘%link’, ”.$prevthumbnail.”, false);
?>

Thanks for this, but I did have to do some cleaning up to make it work.

First, you need to add a closing to the first previous link.
Second, I said the first previous link, because you have two of them.
Third, need to change the thumbnail from ‘true’ to ‘false’ to have it work correctly. Doesn’t show up some times, if you don’t.
Fourth, obviously need to change the ‘second’ previous link to ‘next_post_link’.
Here it is, all cleaned up. No need for ‘styling’ just cut and paste:

“ID, array(150,150) );
next_post_link(‘%link’, ”.$nextthumbnail.”, false);
?>

ID, array(150,150) );
previous_post_link(‘%link’, ”.$prevthumbnail.”, false);
?>

”

Remember to remove the ( ” ) at the beginning and end.

I had the same issue, the problem was when copy & pasting “add_theme_support(‘post-thumbnails’);” you get fancy apostrophes around “post-thumbnails”. To fix it just delete the apostrophes and replace them with a normal ‘.

Thanks for the post Matt.

What do you mean the functions aren’t defined?

Hello,

I am testing it but it looks like those functions are not defined?
Is there something that I am missing?

Thank you, Marie
