How To Add Comment Navigation Links To Your WordPress Theme

//* Comment Navigation
add_action( 'genesis_before_comments', function() {
	
	if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option( 'page_comments' ) ) :
	?>
	<nav class="navigation comment-navigation" role="navigation">
		<h2 class="screen-reader-text"><?php _e( 'Comment navigation', 'wpsites' ); ?></h2>
		<div class="nav-links">
			<?php
				if ( $prev_link = get_previous_comments_link( __( 'Older Comments', 'wpsites' ) ) ) :
					printf( '<div class="nav-previous">%s</div>', $prev_link );
				endif;

				if ( $next_link = get_next_comments_link( __( 'Newer Comments', 'wpsites' ) ) ) :
					printf( '<div class="nav-next">%s</div>', $next_link );
				endif;
			?>
		</div><!-- .nav-links -->
	</nav><!-- .comment-navigation -->
	<?php
endif;
});
[/code]

Replace the genesis_before_comments hook in the code above with your themes comment form hook.

Otherwise, you can create a template tag and add the tag directly to your comments.php template, before and after the wp_list_comments function.

[code]
<?php your_comment_nav(); ?>
