Next/Previous Buttons not working

The next and previous buttons are not working on my dynamic page. I’ve created a page where my customer can create updates and showcase them on her website. I need the buttons to work so viewers can go through each update.

https://www.goingtheextrayardformarcus.com/MarcusUpdates/7.25.2017/Best-Numbers-Today! is one of two entries in the database and by going to that page you can see the buttons are greyed out.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

this currently does not work with Single item Dynamic Pages. Please use Category Dynamic page. Specifying no category will allow you to navigate through all of the items.

Let me know if there are any issues and have fun Wix Coding!

We just added a new article demonstrating how create previous and next buttons for a dynamic item page.

https://support.wix.com/en/article/how-to-create-previous-and-next-buttons-for-a-dynamic-item-page

We’d appreciate any feedback on whether or not the article helped you create previous and next buttons on your dynamic item pages.

Hey Dave,

If this solution works for you, great. However, there are some other users that were expecting a different experience from the previous and next buttons. We will be rewriting the article shortly to reflect that behavior. In the meantime, you can follow the discussion and pull some code snippets from here:

Thanks Sam
I got there in the end, but one thing i had trouble with was when following the instructions at the section below. It states ‘but make sure not to add any links to the buttons’
So i did not.

(Item Page

On the dynamic item page, begin by adding two buttons to the page. Feel free to change the design and text of the buttons, but make sure not to add any links to the buttons.)

Then i completed adding the code and changing what i need to, the buttons were functional but not taking me to my previous or next page. So a little frustrated i went in to the Properties Panel of the button and went down to ‘Connection Options’ and changed ‘Link connects to’ Next dynamic page/Previous dynamic page. Previewed my site and then it worked.

Its probably an obvious thing to do, but might be an idea to add that to the tutorial.

Hope that helps any real non-coders out there and loving WIX code

thanks a million
