12407	Inconsistent use of (next|previous)_post_link and (next|previous)_posts_link functions in default themes	solarissmoke	iandstewart	"There is an inconsistency in the way the functions {{{next_post_link()}}}/{{{previous_post_link()}}} (used in single.php) and {{{next_posts_link()}}}/{{{previous_posts_link()}}} (used in index.php and archive.php) are used in the default themes.

The current behaviour (in the default themes) is as follows:

- next_post_link() and previous_post_link() generate an anchor tag with post title plus either {{{»}}} or {{{«}}} '''outside''' the tag.

- next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link() generate an anchor tag with post title and {{{»}}} or {{{«}}} '''inside''' the anchor tag.

Since these functions are all used in the same visual space (div.navigation) the position of the {{{»}}}/{{{«}}} (inside out outside of the anchor tag) should be consistent. Personally I prefer having the additional text inside the anchor tag.

It just requires changing the arguments supplied to the functions in the themes. Proposed patch to follow."	defect (bug)	closed	low	WordPress.org	Themes		normal	fixed
