Hi @javacodeutil, next and previous will appear automatically on most themes as long as you have multiple posts.
They do not appear on pages, though. You could manually add a link to a page if you’d like, though. Or, you could split a page into multiple parts to add links to each section automatically.

Thanks. After read your article, I came to know that we can add next and previous icon in page through HTML content option. Let me implement it. Correct me, if i am wrong.

Hi javacodeutil,
The documentation @supernovia linked to shows how to insert numbered page breaks (pagination). The
<!‐‐nextpage‐‐>reference can be inserted at the point you would like a numbered page break to occur — it won’t add a “next” link though. -

What article are you referring to? I wonder if it’s the Next and Previous Links page in the WordPress.org Codex. That and other pages regarding WordPress.org sites are inapplicable to WordPress.com sites such as yours.
However, as @supernovia suggests you could create links between pages manually. See the Links support page.
Would it be possible to link separate static pages, by chronological order for example, with “Next” and “Previous” links using CSS code?
-
Of course, the use of “Next” and “Previous” links connecting independent pages, without explanation, would presume that the visitor is somehow aware of a connection between the pages, and that the order is somehow understood.
-
Hm, no that wouldn’t be possible with CSS. You can change what they look like, but you can’t change what they link to.
-
Right, I guess I mean we can use CSS to style anything that exists, but we can’t create something that doesn’t exist.
-
Could you please explain how to add Previouse<–> Next button. In every page i wll config independent page url for previous and next button

The only way to do this would be to add regular links to the bottom of your pages, and using “Previous” or “Next” as the anchor text for those links. If you’re using the block editor, I’d suggest using a columns block, with a link in each column, and the text in one column left-alinged, and the other right. That’s the closest you’ll be able to get to how this typically looks on posts without using CSS.
To have them actually appear as buttons you’d need to use custom CSS, and that requires our Premium Plan. Your site is on the free plan, so you won’t be able to use that option.

Some alternatives to using custom CSS for creating buttons that link to other pages:
1. Button Blocks in a Columns Block.
The Columns Block support page says: “You could also use the columns block with button blocks to invite users to take some actions on your site,” and provides an illustration as an example.
2. Inline CSS Button Styles (in the Classic Editor section of the Button Block support page) — The dimensions of the button may be modified by altering the padding, font weight, letter-spacing, etc.
Example, “Previous” button, aligned left:
<p style="text-align: left;"><a style="display: inline-block; padding: 2px 4px; border: 0; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .0625em; text-transform: uppercase; background: #615f8b; color: #fff; text-decoration: none;" href="YOUR-LINK-HERE">Previous</a></p>I haven’t figured out yet how to get two buttons, one aligned left and one aligned right, on the same line.
3. Built-In Button Styles. Not available on all themes, including the Franklin theme presently applied on the site https://javautilcode.wordpress.com/. Even if using one of the themes that has built-in button styles, alignment again might be problem.
4. Image links. You can create your own buttons using images that you create or find, and make image links of them, as described in the Adding Links to Images section of the Links support page. Again having one image aligned left and the other aligned left on the same line might be a little tricky.
