Create shortcode for post navigation left/right arrows portfolio entries

Hi,
Thanks for your patience, thanks for the screenshot, I can help you create a shortcode for the post navigation as two arrows in boxes like this:

Add this code to the end of your child theme functions.php file in Appearance ▸ Editor:

add_shortcode( 'prev', 'prev_shortcode' );
add_shortcode( 'next', 'next_shortcode' );
function next_shortcode($atts) {
    global $post;
    ob_start(); 
    next_post_link( '<div class="next-shortcode">%link</div>', '>' );              
    $result = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $result;
}
function prev_shortcode($atts) {
    global $post;
    ob_start();
    previous_post_link( '<div class="prev-shortcode">%link</div>', '<' );              
    $result = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $result;
}

If you are not using a child theme I recommend the WPcode plugin this plugin supports PHP code snippets, JavaScript code snippets, & CSS code snippets and allows you to export and import your custom code snippets to other sites that you may have or as a backup.
Then add this css to your Enfold Theme Options ▸ General Styling ▸ Quick CSS field or the WPcode plugin

.prev-shortcode,.next-shortcode,.total-count {
    text-decoration: none;
    line-height: 40px;
    width: 40px;
    height: 40px;
    display: block;
    float: left;
    margin-left: -1px;
    overflow: hidden;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-radius: 0px;
    text-align: center;
}
.prev-shortcode a,.next-shortcode a {
	line-height: 40px;
    width: 40px;
    height: 40px;
    display: block;
}

Now you can place the shortcodes [prev] [next] in a code block where you want them to show

I notice that your screenshot showed a box that counted the number of posts, but I didn’t find a way to display the “number of number”.

Best regards,

Hi,
Glad to hear this helped, but to get the post count “number of number” like: [1/76] will be much harder and out of the scope for this forum.
If you really need this I recommend hiring a freelancer on upwork.com
unless there is anything else we can help with on this issue, shall we close this then?

Best regards,
Mike
