single.php has wrong function and format to show next and/or previous post link.

/bp-themes/bp-default/single.php has a wrong function and format to show the next and/or previous post link.

[ Original ]
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link( ( '&larr; Previous Entries', 'buddypress' ) ) ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link( ( 'Next Entries &rarr;', 'buddypress' ) ) ?></div>

Should be

[ Changed to ]

<div class="alignleft"><?php next_post_link('%link', ( '&larr; Previous Entries', 'buddypress' ) ) ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_post_link('%link', ( 'Next Entries &rarr;', 'buddypress' ) ) ?></div>

However, this still will collapse the format of page, thus I recommend:

[ Changed to ]

<table>
<tr><td class="alignleft">
<?php previous_post_link('%link', '&larr;&nbsp;%title') ?>
</td><td class="alignright">
<?php next_post_link('%link', '%title&nbsp;&rarr;') ?>
</td></tr>
</table>

Note that %title can be changed to the default of "( '&larr; Previous Entries', 'buddypress' )" and "( 'Next Entries &rarr;', 'buddypress' )"

Not using a table for this as it is a semantically inappropriate element. I also think it's a bad idea to add this at the very top of the page (i.e. where it is already, if it worked) as it pushes down the entire post. That position works on archive pages as the format of the page is very different, and you're not expecting a headline.

Does anyone have a good idea about where we can put these links in?

Css for next / prev links

.meta-nav-item-options {

width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 15px;
display: inline-block;

}

Screenshot looks okay to me, thanks modemlooper. What do others think?

(In [4126]) Use next/prev post links in single.php. Also tweaks next/prev page links on archive/index/search templates. Props chestnut_jp and modemlooper, fixes #2982
