Please, tell about realization of button “Older posts” which show previous posts, is it a plugin or function of theme? How I can do the button on my site?

Hi @Fynfastik,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

The button “Older posts” which shows previous posts is developed in a Sparkling theme using the following builtin WordPress function next_posts_link and developing custom CSS code to style it as button.

You can develop a similar button on your site by using the above function and styling it developing CSS code.

Please advise if you have more questions.

Cheers,
Vinod Dalvi

I’m interested button which are not reload page, like this: https://colorlib.com/sparkling/

Just one button, which load new page

Ok, JetPack has options for setting such button on the main page, but what about another pages, if I have done show posts on not main page, it’s my own file of template which like separated archives.php, only without <header>…</header> part and with query_posts() for loop. Why aren’t button “Older posts” showed there? My be it needs special call?

it’s code of page, where the button is not showed, but buttons “Newer posts” & “Older posts” are.

get_header(); ?>

                <?php /* Start the Loop for this Page Content */ ?>
                <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                    <?php
                    get_template_part( 'content-top', get_post_format() ); //Show this page content
