How can I append NAMED ANCHOR to next_post_link()?

Hello everyone,

I thought this would have been a commonly done thing, but I can't seem to find any information on how to do this.

So on my single.php template, I have a link that goes to the next published post:

<?php next_post_link('<p class="nextPostLink">%link</p>' ,'Next Post');?>

Code (markup):

Output:

<a rel="next" href="http://localhost/wordpress/next-post-name.html">Next Post</a>

HTML:

At the end of the link I want to put a named anchor link at the end. So it would look like this:

<a rel="next" href="http://localhost/wordpress/next-post-name.html#postBeginning">Next Post</a>

HTML:

Anyone know how I can do this?

 

Open link-template.php file from the directory wp-includes, find the function adjacent_post_link and change the line

$string = '<a href="'.get_permalink($post).'" rel="'.$rel.'">';

PHP:

to

$string = '<a href="'.get_permalink($post).'#postBeginning" rel="'.$rel.'">';

PHP:

But it will be affect all next and previous posts links.

 

Thanks for that s_ruben!

I'm trying to think... is there a reason I wouldn't want the named anchors on all next or previous post links?
