Hi,
Thanks for the feedback – the problem with posts is that they don’t have a ‘parent’ so we don’t know how to categorize them on a ‘next page’ basis.
How did you imagine it working? Adding the shortcode to a post simply adds the ‘next / back buttons’ along with the ‘Marked as read’ options and then next / back buttons go to the next post ordered by date?
I’m sure we can add posts if you give me a better understanding of how it would paginate.

Hi Alex
Thanks for replying I know you must be busy so appreciate it.
our website model basically uses Posts which are like Tasks that contain To-Do’s. Progress Tracker is perfect because it allows tracking these tasks, i.e. Not Started, Completed, etc. Pages on the other hand are just static About, Contact Us, etc. pages.
I understand what you’re saying about Posts not having a parent, but was wondering if this could work with Post Categories as Parent? Or maybe even including in the plugin a way to add a Parent Post by manipulating SQL.
Ultimately though, if this plugin worked with Posts, I would pay top dollar for it 🙂

Top dollar eh? Ok, I think we can work something out for a couple of billon in gold bullion.
I like the category idea, it makes sense to me. What about the order though? It would have to be either a-z by title or by date posted asc to desc
Does that sound about right?
Alex
Yep, top dollar! *within the reach of affordability for me 🙂 These changes would also benefit others. For example you could have the free plugin do pages, and the premium (paid) do posts!
I think there are a few ways to go about the grouping of posts. Most of which I am not qualitified to compare if good or bad. But have done some research and some options may be:
Register custom post type that uses Parent post 🙂

Group posts by taxonomies (tags/categories)
