Extended Description

[]czoyNDpcIm5leHRfb3JfbG9vcF9wb3N0X2xpbmsoKVwiO3tbJiomXX0=[] is identical to WordPress’s []czoxNjpcIm5leHRfcG9zdF9saW5rKClcIjt7WyYqJl19[] in every way except when called on the last post in the sequence, in which case it links back to the first post in the sequence.

[]czoyODpcInByZXZpb3VzX29yX2xvb3BfcG9zdF9saW5rKClcIjt7WyYqJl19[] is identical to WordPress’s []czoyMDpcInByZXZpb3VzX3Bvc3RfbGluaygpXCI7e1smKiZdfQ==[] in every way except when called on the first post in the sequence, in which case it links back to the last post in the sequence.
