   I am using custom post type that is hierarchical.

   I have no trouble excluding children from the query by using:
   parent=0

   This exclusion, however, doesn't apply to the next_posts_link and previous_posts_link. I want to navigate using only the parent.

   Here is my code:

   <?php $showposts = new WP_Query('post_type=events&post_parent=0'); while($showposts->have_posts()) : $showposts->the_post(); ?>
   <?php the_title( '<h2><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="' . the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) . '" rel="bookmark">', '</a></h2>' ); ?>
   <div>
     <?php the_content(); ?>
     <p><?php next_post_link('%link', '« Newer Issue' ) ?></p>
     <p><?php previous_post_link('%link', 'Older Issue »') ?></>
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   is it on purpose that you are using the link to the next/prev single post?
   i.e. `next_post_link() http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link

   in your text, you are talking about:
   next_posts_link()

   sorry: typo

   I am using next_post_link.

   I was able to download a plugin called "Ambrosite Next/Previous Post Link Plus" that allowed me a solution.

   This plugin allows a next_post_link_plus command that works just fine.

   I try to avoid plugins, though.
