Next and previous posts on single post

  • Hi there

    I love your theme, and have created a child theme to edit the look and feel, everything is working perfectly except for one small problem.

    I would like the next and previous post links to only show show the next or previous posts from the same category, however I can’t figure out how to do this. At the moment is show the next, or previous, post defined by date from all categories.

    How can I change this?

    Thanks

    By default, WordPress will base the next/previous of what is in the blog which displays posts from all categories. To change that to be just one specific category is a bit of a challenge, but this might help out:

    Searching Google will also bring up a lot of results about this same/similar topic by searching with these keywords:

    Hi

    Yes, thanks, I’ve gone trough all of the articles on wordpress and google, however I’m not sure where this needs to be changed in the template files.

    Thanks

    Just to confirm…is this for the full post next/previous pages? IF so, then it would be the “content-single.php” file found in the “template-parts” folder of the theme. However, this also depends on the code method being used. If you are using the method like the WordPress documentation showed, then this will be the area.

    template-parts/content-single.php

    Look for this:

    morphology_lite_post_pagination();

    …and delete that. Replace it with your own code but without the <?php and the closing ?> parts to it because where you would be putting this would go in the area where that opening and closing php tags are.
