You can create a shortcode which can be used anywhere inside a post. The shortcode would be responsible for fetching a random post and displaying it. Example code: <?php /* * Plugin Name: Random Post * Description: Display random post * Version: 1.0 * Author: windyjonas * Author URI: https://www.jonasnordstrom.se */ function display_random_post() { ob_start(); … Read more

did you search around the functions get_adjacent_post() ? A long time ago, I made a Woocommerce plugin (an old outdated Woocommerce product navigation on the repo) that use it in the same case and it used to work. The class I created, use a fallback function to get all ids to exclude. Hope it helps … Read more
Trying to get_adjacent_post – in same category not working
The arguments for get_adjacent_post is not formatted correctly. $excluded_terms needs to be either a string or an array. Also be careful with the category. If ‘portcats’ is a category name and not a taxonomy, that won’t work. This is looking for posts that are in the same ‘portcats’ taxomony with certain terms in ‘portcats’ excluded. … Read more

Then it passes %title onto previous_post_link and … Read more
When in_same_term parameter in get_next_post() / get_previous_post() function is set to TRUE, a post is selected from any category assigned to the current post. As you wrote, you can not use the exclude parameter in this case. Using the get_{$adjacent}_post_where filter, you can skip product in the category list, which you are looking for posts. … Read more
So from the research I have done into this I’ve found out the follow: To display the Text as a Link, without the Post Title but within the same category you would use the follow <?php next_post_link( ‘%link’, ‘Next post in category’, TRUE ); ?> To do it with the same custom taxonomy the following … Read more
From the Codex (emphasis mine): In standard usage (within the default, unaltered loop) next_post_link will generate a link to a post that is newer (more recent) than the current post. This is in contrary to the similarly-named previous_posts_link, which will typically link to a page of posts that is older than the current batch. It … Read more
