Description

Hi all,

By cheking the code of paginate_links() to make new SEO enhancements for buddypress(check the buddypress trac
​https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4981).

There is no filter in paginate_links or param to include attributs to a href links.

I suggest to wordpress team to add a filter (or directly a rel="next" rel="prev" attribut to the href with next and prev class).

For more information about SEO and Pagination, please check this video :

Regards,
Mounir

As noted in #25336:

Discussed the issue of rel attributes with ocean90 at #wcchh14 contributor day.

As joostdevalk pointed out, adding rel attributes doesn't necessarily help SEO. ​An article on the Official Google Webmaster Blog even suggests:

rel=”next” and rel=”prev” only need to be declared within the <head> section, not within the document <body>

Since we already do define these in the head section of applicable documents, this should not be necessary.
