[Resolved] Behavior of Next/Previous Post links

[Earl]

I’m not sure of the specific descriptive terminology, but below each post there are navigation links for the Category, next post and previous post, thus:

I’d like for the next/prev links to be limited in scope to the current post category. As it works now, if you continue following the chain of posts with either ‘next’ or ‘prev’ links you will exit the current category and go on to the next one.

Is this an easy one?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Try this PHP:

add_filter( 'generate_category_post_navigation', '__return_true' );

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Let me know 🙂

Tom –

I just ran a quick test, and this seems to work fine.

Thank you!!

Adding PHP:
add_filter( 'generate_category_post_navigation', '__return_true' );
where?

My Custom Post Navigation code:

<div id="post-nav">
	<?php global $post;
    $prevPost = get_previous_post(false);
        if($prevPost) {
            $args = array(
                'posts_per_page' => 1,
                'include' => $prevPost->ID
            );
            $prevPost = get_posts($args);
            foreach ($prevPost as $post) {
                setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
        <a class="post-previous" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
				<div class="post-nav-wrap" style="background: linear-gradient(0deg,rgba(52,62,71,0.1),rgba(52,62,71,0.3)),url('<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>');">
            <div class="post-nav">Previous</div>
            <h3 class="post-nav-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
        </div></a>
    <?php
                wp_reset_postdata();
            } //end foreach
        } // end if
         
        $nextPost = get_next_post(false);
        if($nextPost) {
            $args = array(
                'posts_per_page' => 1,
                'include' => $nextPost->ID
            );
            $nextPost = get_posts($args);
            foreach ($nextPost as $post) {
                setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
        <a class="post-next" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
        <div class="post-nav-wrap" style="background: linear-gradient(0deg,rgba(52,62,71,0.6),rgba(52,62,71,0.3)),url('<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>');">
            <h3 class="post-nav-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
            <div class="post-nav">Next</div>					
        </div></a>
    <?php
                wp_reset_postdata();
            } //end foreach
        } // end if
    ?>
</div>
