[Resolved] Navigation arrows on Single Product Pages are not navigating through all product

[Jack]

Hey there,

The navigation arrows on the WooCommerce single products don’t navigate through the products in a logical order.

They also only navigate through 3-4 products and then show that I’ve reached the end (I currently have 17 products.)

An example is this product: https://fitzroyproject.com.au/product/52-charles-street/

How can I fix this?

Hi there,

how were the navigation arrows added?
Did you import the Imprint site originally ?

let me know

[Jack]

Hi David,

That’s correct. Apart from changing the border, they’re the same arrows.

That’s strange, are all products apart of the same category/do they all have categories?

[Jack]

Sorry for the slow reply Tom.

They are all from the same category…”Jack Magnus McDonald.”

The shop page has a Gutenberg Block displaying all products. And they’re ordered by “most recent”…

But that shouldn’t impact the nav arrows on the single product pages?

[David]

Go to Appearance > Elements and edit the Single Product Next Previous hook

Replace these two lines:

$previous = next_post_link('%link', '←');
$next = previous_post_link('%link', '→');

with:

$previous = next_post_link('%link', '←', TRUE, ' ', 'product_cat');
$next = previous_post_link('%link', '→', TRUE, ' ', 'product_cat');

This should look the navigation to the same category…. and hopefully fix the issue…

Hi David,

I just did this but unfortunately it’s still not working.

Any other ideas?

[David]

Well it has me stumped.
On all my tests it works fine when using Simple products without any taxonomies.
Minute we add anything that complicates the product or involves a taxonomy then it all goes ape…

I am not sure we can fix this….

Bugger. Thanks for your help.
