Next/Previous Post text change

Hi @danildilawar

Yes, theres a built in filter function for that. (see inside examples.txct in the plugin root) which you add to your functions.php file or similar location (I suggest a child theme)

For your use case, you’ll need to use a conditional check for modifying the text on a per category use case.

Something like: (not tested on a live environment so please check the code)

function wp_post_nav_translate( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
//project category
if (is_category(‘project’)) {
switch ( $translated_text ) {
case ‘Category: ‘ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Project Category: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
case ‘Previous Post’ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Previous Projext: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
case ‘Next Post’ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Next Project: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
}
}
//portfolio category
elseif (is_category(‘portfolio’)) {
switch ( $translated_text ) {
case ‘Category: ‘ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Portfolio Category: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
case ‘Previous Post’ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Previous Portfolio: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
case ‘Next Post’ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Next Portfolio: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
}
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘wp_post_nav_translate’, 20, 3 );

Hi John,

I have tried this code but it is not working nothing changed. Just to add up I am using custom post type so if there is any concern with that.

Thanks,

@danildilawar

Ah so that does make a difference as the above is for the default ‘post’ post type.

You need to adjust it for your custom post types so instead of using the is_category wordpress filter, you need to use a post type check.

if ( ‘portfolio’ == get_post_type() ) {
}

elsif ( ‘project’ == get_post_type() {
}

Hi John,
We only use Tags.
How can we change from Categogies to Tags?
Please help.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi @quanvan

Thats not currently possible and is a really limited use case to work that way.

It would require a customised solution as getting posts of the same tag is a custom query and not something that can easily be built in to the plugin.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
Can you add 2 choice:
1. Categories
2. Tags

I don’t know well English so i hope you will understand mine.

Thanks,

Hi John,

I have one custom post type & 2 different categories so I used this code but it is not working please check this code:

$type = get_post_type();
if ($type = 'astra-portfolio') {
function wp_post_nav_translate( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
  //Showreel category
  if (is_category('showreel')) {
    switch ( $translated_text ) {
      case 'Category: ' :
        $translated_text = __( 'Showreel Category: ', 'wp-post-nav' );
        break;
      case 'Previous Post' :
       $translated_text = __( 'Previous Showreel: ', 'wp-post-nav' );
      break;
       case 'Next Post' :
       $translated_text = __( 'Next Showreel: ', 'wp-post-nav' );
      break;
    }
  }
  //Photographic category
  elseif (is_category('photographic')) {
    switch ( $translated_text ) {
      case 'Category: ' :
        $translated_text = __( 'Photographic Category: ', 'wp-post-nav' );
        break;
      case 'Previous Post' :
       $translated_text = __( 'Previous Photographic: ', 'wp-post-nav' );
      break;
       case 'Next Post' :
       $translated_text = __( 'Next Photographic: ', 'wp-post-nav' );
      break;
    }
  }
  return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'wp_post_nav_translate', 20, 3 );
}

Please let me know.

Thanks,
