    <p>I have an archive template I'm working on, and at the bottom of the page I'm using </p> <pre><code>&lt;?php next_posts_link("&amp;laquo; Older Posts", $wp_query-&gt;max_num_pages); ?&gt; &lt;?php previous_posts_link("Newer Posts &amp;raquo;", $wp_query-&gt;max_num_pages); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>to display the pagination.</p> <p>These functions, it seems, check whether or not there are newer/older posts to display, and conditionally determines whether or not to display the prev/next links.</p> <p>The behavior I am trying to achieve is that if there are not older/newer posts to be displayed on a given page, That an anchor tag is still created, but not given an href attribute and given a separate class.</p> <p>i.e. - on a page that contains the most recent posts, I want to show</p> <pre><code>&lt;a class="previous-posts" href="THE_PREVIOUS_POSTS_PAGE"&gt;&amp;laquo; Older Posts&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="next-posts disabled"&gt;Newer Posts &amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>instead of just an "Older Posts" link with nothing next to it (for layout reasons).</p> <p>Any ideas about either where I can edit the behavior of the default functions or how I can craft my own?</p> <p>UPDATE:</p> <p>Mike Lewis' answer was perfect for Next_posts, but I still seem to have messed up previous_posts.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if ($prev_url = previous_posts($wp_query-&gt;max_num_pages, false)){ // next_posts url was found, create link with this url: ?&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;?= $prev_url ?&gt;"&gt;&amp;laquo; Newer Posts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;?php } else { // url was not found, do your alternative link here ?&gt;&lt;a class="disabled"&gt;&amp;laquo; Newer Posts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;?php if ($next_url = next_posts($wp_query-&gt;max_num_pages, false)){ // next_posts url was found, create link with this url: ?&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;?= $next_url ?&gt;"&gt;Older Posts &amp;raquo; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;?php } else { // url was not found, do your alternative link here ?&gt;&lt;a class="disabled"&gt;Older Posts &amp;raquo; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>The first function always displays the disabled link, while the second behaves exactly as expected. Any idea what's up here?</p>

    1. COLook at the source for previous_posts() function. In Eclipse, you can CTRL+CLICK a function to 'goto', or press F3 while the text cursor is on that function name. Your editor might be different.

    2. COAnyhow, the `previous_posts()` function takes 1 parameter: $echo, which you want false, so use `previous_posts(false)`

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
