Keep Pagination in Same Taxonomy

Description

Instantly join separate posts together by making the Previous/Next Post links look for other posts that share the same taxonomies.

This lightweight plugin simply adds a filter to your selected taxonomies (both default and custom) so that any theme can have its post navigation links stay in the same category as the currently viewed post.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/keep-pagination-in-same-taxonomy/ directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
  3. Go to the Settings -> Reading page to configure the plugin, picking which taxonomies should be affected.

FAQ

Why Isn’t It Linking To The Post I Expected?

Be sure that you’ve only selected the taxonomies that are shared between the posts you want to link together AND that you aren’t asking for the posts to match them all!

Eg. With the “ALL” option, if you select both Categories and Tags, then a post which has a category and some tags will NOT find other posts that only have the same category but no tags.

Thanks for this piece of superb plugin! Been trying to confine users to navigate the same category! I have tried so many methods, including modifying the single.php but to no avail. Thank you!

Highly recommended! Just tried it after many hours of fighting with a Bravada WP Theme! Works wonderfully! Thank you, Keith!
