Navigate within same category

    I have two categories that I post in. I would like the posts from category 1 to navigate amongst themselves, and the posts from category 2 to navigate amongst themselves. Confused?

    At the bottom of Posts is the Next/Previous navigation thingy. Currently, the next or previous post is whatever was posted chronologically, regardless of category.

    I want the next/previous at the bottom of category 1 posts to direct to only other category 1 posts.

    Similarly for category 2.

    Readers of either category should not be aware of the other category’s posts.

    I’m sure it’s a simple fix, but I can’t figure it out.

    Thanks!

  • A suggestion:

    Look in www.ads-software.com/plugins for categories.

    This should yield a number of plugins that might help do what you want.

    Otherwise, in the loop you can include only post with the category you want on one page and the other category on another page. This requires some coding and a new template page.

    I hope this helps start you on your way.

    I am trying to avoid using plugins as much as possible.

    Why doesn’t this work:

    $next_post = get_next_post($in_same_term = true, $excluded_terms = '', $taxonomy = 'category');
$prev_post = get_previous_post($in_same_term = true, $excluded_terms = '', $taxonomy = 'category');

    Nevermind! lol

    That *does* work – I was just testing it on the wrong page! ??

    For an even shorter version, do this:
    $next_post = get_next_post(true);
    $prev_post = get_previous_post(true);

    Posting in case it helps someone else.

    Thanks!
