Automatic Next/Previous Pages

    Hi,
    I’m wondering if there is a plugin that will automatically create and update Next/Previous buttons at the bottom of a page that sorts by Category.

    Towards the bottom of the post in the link I added, you can see the Previous/TOC/Next buttons and these buttons are currently manually added. Is there something that will automatically add them and sort by category?

    I want something similar to the “Next post/previous post” button that wordpress automatically generates but specific to certain categories.

    For example, every time I post something in the category “The Interstellar Male God” the button will update to the next post and only to posts in that category.

    The reason I need this is because I post stories by chapters. I want to update two different stories, but want the buttons to only connect to the chapters in its own story.

    Thanks in advance!

    The function get_the_post_navigation() has an in_same_term argument which makes this possible.

    In your theme (Astra), there’s a filter hook for the navigation arguments called astra_single_post_navigation. So this code hooks onto that and updates it to the behavior you want.

    You can place this in your functions.php file or use the Code Snippets Plugin.

    add_filter('astra_single_post_navigation', 'wpsf_category_pagination');
function wpsf_category_pagination($args)
{
  $args['in_same_term'] = true;
  return $args;
}

    That’s exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you!
