Navigation for CPT and restricting posts to same category conflicting
5 replies · Started by Bandara on April 16, 2021
I am trying to do two things (maybe 3)
1) restrict previous/next on posts to the same category
2) show previous/next on custom posts types
And the third which I haven't figured out at all
3) restricting CPT prev/next to specific taxonomy
To do #1, I added
add_filter( 'generate_category_post_navigation', '__return_true' );
That works.
However, when I do #2 using this code, it only works when I remove the code from #1 above
add_action( 'generate_after_entry_content', 'tu_cpt_footer_meta' );
function tu_cpt_footer_meta() {
if ( is_singular( 'podcast' ) ) : ?>
<footer class="entry-meta">
<?php generate_entry_meta(); ?>
</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
<?php endif;
}
How do I get these two bits of code to work at the same time?
And then the follow up is how do I achieve #3, for example restricting previous/next of the podcast CPT to the same taxonomy series?
Hi there,
For #2, you can actually tell GeneratePress that your CPT exists and that you want the footer meta to appear there: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate-footer-meta-post-types/
#3 is a bit more tricky, but possible with this filter:
add_filter( 'generate_post_navigation_args', function( $args ) {
if ( is_singular( 'your-cpt' ) ) {
$args['in_same_term'] = true;
$args['taxonomy'] = 'your_taxonomy';
}
return $args;
} );Hope this helps :)
Great! It all works now! Thank you.
So for number 3, I have added this:
/* Limits by custom post type taxonomy */
add_filter( 'generate_post_navigation_args', function( $args ) {
if ( is_singular( 'podcast' ) ) {
$args['in_same_term'] = true;
$args['taxonomy'] = 'series';
}
return $args;
} );What should I do if I have a second cpt with a different taxonomy? Can I just duplicate the whole thing replacing podcast and series?
No need to duplicate the entire thing, just add another is_singular() block:
/* Limits by custom post type taxonomy */
add_filter( 'generate_post_navigation_args', function( $args ) {
if ( is_singular( 'podcast' ) ) {
$args['in_same_term'] = true;
$args['taxonomy'] = 'series';
}
if ( is_singular( 'series' ) ) {
$args['in_same_term'] = true;
$args['taxonomy'] = 'something-else';
}
return $args;
} );Glad I could help!
Thanks!! I'm so glad I picked GP. You should be happy knowing that you are making so many good things possible in the world through your work.
Really appreciate that - thank you! :)
