Hey there, thanks for the kind words about the theme.
I’d always recommend against hacking the theme directly.
You’re almost always better off creating a child theme or plugin.
To that end, please revert any changes to the theme as we won’t need them here.
Also, the $next_post_btn code isn’t really used and should be removed. Sorry for the false lead.
If you were to dig around in class-tube-pagination.php, you’d find that (unfortunately) the theme doesn’t use (or expose for filtering) the in_same_term, excluded_terms, or taxonomy arguments for get_next_post_link and get_previous_post_link.
This would be a lot easier if it did.
Since it doesn’t, the best approach would be to create a simple plugin.
I’ve put one together below that you can drop into your plugins folder.
It’s nothing glamorous, but based on my quick testing it should do exactly what you need.
Drop a reply with any questions.
