Does someone perhaps know a plugin or snippet (besides Yoast's WordPress SEO) to accomplish this perhaps? Pagination with rel=“next” and rel=“prev”
The only thing I've come across seems to be an 3-month old Trac ticket.

you can do this by using query and append it– Niraj ChauhanDec 18, 2011 at 17:40

@ntechi, thank you for your quick reply. My guess is however this answers about 99,9% of all questions listed here. I have to admit I was hoping for something a bit more detailed.– user5424Dec 18, 2011 at 17:49

your aim is to add a rel in next and previous link?– Niraj ChauhanDec 18, 2011 at 17:52

The one Google advises, yes. Not the ones that are currently used by WordPress default.– user5424Dec 18, 2011 at 17:54

@CorvanNoorloos The one Google advices is in the head section, not directly at the link element...– kaiserDec 18, 2011 at 19:44

Try putting this snippet in your functions.php
<?php
function rel_next_prev(){
global $paged;
if ( get_previous_posts_link() ) { ?>
<link rel="prev" href="<?php echo get_pagenum_link( $paged - 1 ); ?>" /><?php
}
if ( get_next_posts_link() ) { ?>
<link rel="next" href="<?php echo get_pagenum_link( $paged +1 ); ?>" /><?php
}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'rel_next_prev' );
?>
And if you don't want the next and prev rel links to show up on the singular pages just wrap the output markup in a !is_singular() if condition

1I would recommend using
is_archive()instead of! is_singular()May 8, 2014 at 21:43 -
get_next_posts_link()not working without themax_num_pagesparameter, how can I get this variable in functions.php? am I missing something ?– HOYAug 14, 2017 at 3:15 -
Does ### if ( get_previous_posts_link() ) ### PHP syntax mean: replace the function get_previous_posts_link() with the function that follows?– ReviousOct 15, 2018 at 9:22
This pretty much does exactly that, as a plugin - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pagination-rel-links/

An answer should be more than just a link to an external site. Please add a solution.– fuxia ♦Jul 6, 2012 at 20:26
Ok then this will be a good solution:
$('YOUR_PAGINATION_A_ID').attr('rel', 'next');
$('YOUR_PAGINATION_A_ID').attr('rel', 'prev');
Try this, it might help you.

If I understand correct you're suggesting to let JavaScript handle this? Since Google or any other search engine doesn't understand JavaScript, I doubt this would be the ideal solution.– user5424Dec 18, 2011 at 18:17

1yaa that would be, better would be you edit that PHP code itself or wait for another answer Dec 18, 2011 at 18:18
