If you use a filter like the following to adjust the order of a post type archive, then the next & previous links will work perfectly without need for modification: function wpse_139866_set_order_by( $wp_query ) { if ( ! is_admin() && $wp_query->is_post_type_archive( ‘my_post_type’ ) && $wp_query->is_main_query() ) { $wp_query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘title’ ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, … Read more
using next-page and previous page inside a wp_query
It turns out i solved the problem by renaming my Staff template from archive-staff.php to page-staff.php (or anything else for that matter), thus specifically telling WordPress not to trust the template hierarchy logic and to consider that url as a “page” url, not a custom post type archive. If you happen to have a use … Read more
The Smarter Navigation plugin by scribu has solved this need for me: https://wordpress.org/plugins/smarter-navigation/ Not completely perfect but recognises which taxonomy term is being used and provides appropriate links.
Next/Prev category post in same button
previous_posts_link and next_posts_link are for archive page pagination, they both check if is_single is not true, so will not work on any sort of single post, page, or custom post type. use paginate_links instead or just manually build your pagination links.
looks like your navigation can be found in this function: sixteen_content_nav() I just guess, but have a look into this file: inc/template-tags.php
You should be able to just use the default get_next_post_link with $in_same_term set to true. Have you tried that? Instead of your <?php next_post_link( ‘<div class=”nav-next”>%link</div>’, ‘%title <span class=”meta-nav”>’ . _x( ‘→’, ‘Next post link’, ‘sixteen’ ) . ‘</span>’ ); ?> try this <?php next_post_link ( ‘%link →’, ‘%title’, true, ”, ‘category’ ); ?>
You could for example change <?php next_post_link ( ‘%link →’, ‘%title’, true, ”, ‘category’ ); ?> to <?php next_post_link ( ‘<div style=”float: right”>%link →</div>’, ‘%title’, true, ”, ‘category’ ); ?>
This should work. Wasn’t closed well <div id=”cooler-nav” class=”navigation”> <div class=”wpb_wrapper”> <h3>More Underwater Media</h3> </div> <?php $prevPost = get_previous_post(true); if($prevPost) {?> <div class=”nav-box previous”> <div class=”navig_thumb_wrapper”> <?php $prevthumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail($prevPost->ID, array(100,100) );?> <?php previous_post_link(‘%link’,”$prevthumbnail”, TRUE); ?> </div> <?php previous_post_link(‘%link’,”<p>< %title</p>”, TRUE); ?> </div> <?php } ?> <?php $nextPost = get_next_post(true); if($nextPost) {?> <div class=”nav-box next” … Read more
