Next Post Link

Share on FacebookTweet about this on TwitterShare on Google+Share on LinkedInPrint this page


Being used mainly on single post template, this tag display a link to a next post relative to the current post, from a sort list.

This tag must be used within the query loop.

The default WordPress function used for next navigational link is next_post_link. This is very limited in functionality and there is no possibility to apply a sort list and a specific taxonomy term to which the post is related to.

An improvement for that function is next_post_type_link

Arguments:
next_post_type_link($format, $link, $argv);

If $argv is empty the archive order will be used.

Parameters
$format
(string) Format string for the link. This is where to control what comes before and after the link. ‘%link’ in the string will be replaced with whatever is declared as ‘link’ (see next parameter). ‘Go to %link’ will generate “Go to <a href=…” Put HTML tags here to style the final results. Defaults to ‘« %link’.

$link
(string) Link text to display. Defaults to next post’s title (‘%title’).

$argv(array) List of function arguments:
sort_id – the sort id, which order apply
taxonomy – use a specified sort taxonomy
term_id – use a specified sort taxonomy term

Examples

Return next post link using order from taxonomy ‘Features’ within term_id 10

$args   =   array(
                        'sort_id'   =>  25,
                            'taxonomy'  =>  'features',
                            'term_id'   =>  10
                        );
next_post_type_link( '%link', __( '<span class="meta-nav">Next Post</span> %title', 'twentyfourteen' ), $args );

Using WPML return next post link using order from taxonomy ‘Features’ within term_id 10

$args   =   array(
                        'sort_id'   =>  25,
                            'taxonomy'  =>  'features',
                            'term_id'   =>  apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', 10, 'category', TRUE  )
                        );
next_post_type_link( '%link', __( '<span class="meta-nav">Next Post</span> %title', 'twentyfourteen' ), $args );

How do I do this with multiple categories other than using the archive?

Jacob Raccuia

you have to use conditionals. for having to pay $25, its ridiculous.

Sorry but this is only an Advanced Post Types Order plugin feature.

Jacob Raccuia

I actually set the first term id ( since it was restricted to one term ) to a variable, which I just put into the line. Works surprisingly nice.

[…] function format has been deprecated, see this post instead Next Post Link for v3 […]

Next/Previous Post Link Plus

Which page should i write this cod? each post page? Can i set each category? (My post included in only 1 category)

nspcode

You should place the code within theme template file where use the navigational links.
You can set a category (term_id) see the code example on this page.

Can someone please explain me what is “sort_id”?
Thanks!

nspcode

Hi
Within admin sort page, there’s the first metabox titled Sort List Settings ( ID XX ). What’s XX is what you looking for.

Thanks

Milenko R

Thanks for a quick reply.
Can I get that sort_id inside template in case I know taxonomy and term?

Milenko R

I get this message if I try to use this code:
