   Hi,

   I am trying to exclude posts from two categories from showing in my previous/next navigation links with the following code, but post in 8 and 62 still seem to be showing.
   `<div class="navigation">
   <div class="next-posts"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries', '%title', FALSE, '8 and 62') ?></div>
   <div class="prev-posts"><?php previous_posts_link('« Older Entries', '%title', FALSE, '8 and 62') ?></div>
   </div>`

   Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?

   Thanks,

   Jimmy

   you have the functions for the next/prev posts on multipost pages:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_posts_link
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_posts_link

   these functions do not have the parameters you are trying to apply.

   if you are working on the next/prev of single post,
   then the functions would be:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post_link

   I found the above usefull to a certain point..Is it possible to limit the categories excluded using a query

   <?php
   if ( is_cat=1() ) {
   query_posts( 'cat=-2,-3' )
   if ( is_cat=2() ) {
   query_posts( 'cat=-1,-3' )
   if ( is_cat=3() ) {
   query_posts( 'cat=-1,-2' )

   I would like to use this to include only posts from the same category from showing up in the single post template next/previous link.

   Thanks a bucket

   same category from showing up in the single post template next/previous link.

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post_link

   'in_same_cat' paramter

   conditional tags

   (is_category() would not work in single.php; try in_category() )

   I found the documentation for next_post_link very usefull. Made me thank Wp for being so adaptable. And thanks to you for your response.
