My single Post navigation in single.php with previous_post_link() and next_post_link() is not working with post type "post" but is working fine with my custom post types I have also tried get_adjacent_post_link() but of no use.

I'm getting this issue on every theme I'm activating nit just my custom theme that I'm developing.

<div class="pagination-single-post mt-50">

<ul class="post-pagination">

    <li><?php previous_post_link('%link', '<i class="fas fa-long-arrow-alt-left"></i> Previous Post'); ?></li>

    <li><?php next_post_link('%link', 'Next Post <i class="fas fa-long-arrow-alt-right"></i>'); ?></li>

</ul>

My Answer:
To troubleshoot this issue with the single post navigation not working with post type in WordPress, you can try the following steps:

1. Check the post type: Make sure that the post type you are using is correctly registered in your theme or plugin. You can check this by looking at the code where the post type is registered and ensuring that it is set up correctly.

2. Check the post navigation functions: Verify that you are using the correct functions for post navigation in your single.php file. The functions previous_post_link() and next_post_link() should work for standard post types by default, but if you are using a custom post type, you may need to use different functions or customize the existing ones.

3. Check the post type in the functions: If you are using a custom post type, make sure that you are passing the correct post type parameter to the post navigation functions. You can specify the post type by adding the 'post_type' parameter to the functions like this: previous_post_link( '%link', 'Previous post in %title', true, '', 'custom_post_type' ).

4. Check for custom post type support: Ensure that your custom post type supports post navigation by adding support for 'previous_post' and 'next_post' in the 'supports' parameter when registering the post type.

5. Check for conflicting plugins or themes: Disable any plugins or switch to a default WordPress theme to see if the issue is caused by a conflict with a plugin or theme. If the post navigation works with the default theme or without plugins, then the issue is likely related to your current theme or plugins.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the issue with the single post navigation not working with post type in WordPress.
