The default previous_post_link() and next_post_link() have an option to restrict adjacent posts to the current category. This plugin takes one step further:
If you visit an archive page (category, tag, date, author, search etc.) and then visit a single post from that page, the previous_post_smart() and next_post_smart() will point only to the other posts in that archive page.
This is particularly useful for photoblogs (that’s where I use it).
If there isn’t an adjacent post, it will use the normal template tags.
Hi, thanks for this pluguin. I only have one question. In each archive/category page I use a paging navigation (WP-PageNavi), with 5 posts per page. When you get to the last post in a page, then the next-prev links stops and you have to go back to change the referrer page you were in. Is there a way to keep the links showing regardless of the pagination ? Thanks again
I don’t quite understand what you mean. Could you give me an URL with an example?
I’m sorry, our site is off-line.
Here you can see a pagination example: http://www.johntp.com/category/wordpress/
What I wanted to achieve is browsing ‘post to post’ (with your pluguin) from the first to the last post in a category, regardless of the pagination. Now you can browse ‘post to post’ until the end of the page you come from (page/1, page/2, etc). I hope this makes sense now…
Thanks again
Yes, now I get what you’re saying. This is definetly something worth fixing. I’ll see what I can do.
This is an Awesome plugin! Is there any way I can show the title as ‘Previous’ instead of the actual title? As well with Next.
Thank you for the Plugin!
Yes, you just have to add ‘Previous’ as the first parameter.
