I hope there are multiple ways to accomplish this, but I suggest you use the following simpler function for this purpose. This is an attempt to grab a post for the current post which excludes it and the previous post: // A custom function in your functions.php file function get_related_previous_post($previous = 0) { global $post; … Read more
This is standard WordPress functionality, contained in previous_post_link and next_post_link. You don’t need to edit functions.php. Just add to your template: <div class=”buttons”> <span class=”previous-button”><?php previous_post_link() ?></span> <span class=”next-button”><?php next_post_link() ?></span> </div> Now you can style the buttons with css. Follow the codex links for customizing options to the functions.
Here’s a good place to start: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/previous_post_link http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/next_post_link As you will see, keeping the links to posts of the same category is as simple as setting an argument in the function. I would give an example but there are really good examples on the pages linked above.
Just put them between endwhile; and endif;
You could try the following plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/ambrosite-nextprevious-post-link-plus/ It is very customizable in terms of link options and should, as far as I can see, do the job for you. I have very good experience using it up to WP 3.5.
Maybe I don’t understand the question, sorry in that case. But can’t you just retrieve the last 6 posts excluding the current? Something like: global $post; $footer_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( array(‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘6’, ‘exclude’ => $post->ID), 1 ); if ( ! empty($footer_posts) ) { foreach ( $footer_posts as $post ) { setup_postdata($post); echo … Read more
$prev = get_previous_post(); $next = get_next_post(); $prev_title = $prev ? get_the_title($prev) : ‘Current is First Post’; $next_title = $next ? get_the_title($next) : ‘Current is Last Post’; See get_previous_post and get_next_post on Codex for some details and additional params you can use.
Getting meta content from get_next_post & get_previous_post
I figured it out! After a lot of research and trial and error, I managed to figure out how to get the paging to work for both versions…my original code and the simplified code update. Original Code Solution: <?php $cat = get_cat_ID(“Photos”); $categories = get_categories(“child_of=$cat”); $limit = 9; $total = count($categories); $pages = ceil($total / … Read more
WordPress has a function called wp_get_referer() that you could use to do this. Codex link $page_referrer = wp_get_referer(); if ( $page_referrer == ‘campaign-1-url’) { // Campaign 1 css } You’ll have to craft the conditional statement to fit yours needs.
