Link to the next item in the same category?

Is there any way to display a link (on the individual pages catablog-items.php) to the next and to the previous item in the same category?

It should look something like this:

<< Previous item 2/14 Next item >>

And the problem is that <?php next_post_link(); ?> works but the “Next” “Previous” links go through all categories.
I want that the “Next” link would not appear when the catalog end is reached.

Example.
Cats page 2
<< Cats page 1 Cats page 3 >>

not
Dogs page 2
<< Dogs page 1 Cats page 1 >>

P.S. – I have exactly the same problem as this guy had in this topic but in the end there was no helpful answer.

Just want to let it know that after few days of searches I finally solved it.
If someone someday meets with the similar problem – here is how to solve it.

1. I installed the plugin “Previous and Next Post in Same Taxonomy”.
2. Next – I changed code
```
<?php previous_post_link('%link', '%title', false); ?>
<?php next_post_link('%link', '%title>', false); ?>
```
to:
```
<?php be_previous_post_link('%link', '%title', true, '', 'catablog-terms'); ?>
<?php be_next_post_link('%link', '%title', true, '', 'catablog-terms'); ?>
```
If you changed the Default Catablog Options – instead of ‘catablog-terms’ use the “Category Pages Slugs” you have written under Catablog -> Public -> Category Pages Slug.
Cheers! 🙂

Hello spakainas, that is great news and it looks great your sample above.

I am just a bit curious with your code above. I understand your code except the be_, where did get that code from? I am thinking of adding the above information to my blog for others to view but I need to know more about the be_ code.

Kind regards

Thank you.

I just followed the plugin guidelines the author provided
http://wordpress.org/plugins/previous-and-next-post-in-same-taxonomy/

I read through plugin author channel that in future WordPress release 3.8 this plugin expansion I used will be available without plugin.

All the best. 🙂

P.S. – Might as well add your blog to favorites since I might find some info I need it in the future. 🙂
