 * This topic is for you to provide me feedback on how I can make this plugin better
   for you. For example, a new feature. Don’t stay silent, or I will never know.
 * I will read your feedback and will respond accordingly.
 * If you wish to only give me a review then please don’t post it in this topic.
   To leave a review, post it [here](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/auto-load-next-post)
   and give it a rating between 1 – 5.
 * Thank you.

 * Thank you Sebastian for a very great plugin.
 * Wishlist
 * A. The ability to control what get’s output, so it can take other input than 
   next post. For instance custom fields. WordPress doesn’t have the best taxonomy
   support. I get around this by using custom fields to control the logic for post,
   where I, for instance ,have a series of photos that go together. They get the“
   series name” in a custom field, which I then query to output the thumbnails and
   links in the sidebar or below the image. Alternatively it could be able to load
   related posts. Next and previous is a weird way of browsing a site.
 * B. Better documentation of how to install this great plugin for particular themes.
   Or better explaination as to which divs we should select and why we should select
   them. Would it be possible to have the wordpress base themes as preinstalled 
   templates, like for twentyfifteen?
 * Oh, and if you use Theme Test Drive, note that, for some reason, the Theme Test
   Drive plugin somehow chokes the output, when you are testing. I can see that 
   the javescript fires, but nothing is output. If you use another browser, where
   you are not logged in, it works fine, so I hope this saves someone else a few
   hours and grey hairs.
 * Keep up the good work!

 * Hi Mikker.
 * Thank you for liking my plugin. I am currently working on a premium version of
   the plugin that provides a little more support on the type of content that is
   displayed and how it is displayed.
 * Documentation is something that I will be improving on with possible video demonstrations
   but to do it for every theme out there would be a lot of work. That is why I 
   am trying to make the plugin compatible as much as possible, but I do find that
   some themes that are used are not well structured so it becomes more hacky for
   those who use them with my plugin.
 * The plugin comes with a default template based on TwentyFifteen which you can
   copy into your own theme and alter to your needs. So far I have tested the template
   with all default WordPress themes and works fine out of the box once the plugin
   is setup. It also works well with the theme called Make.
 * I hope with other people’s feedback, that I can integrate support for many more
   themes out of the box. One option I am thinking of is the plugin detects the 
   theme that is currently active on the site and if it is in a list of themes I
   have tested with, the plugin will automatically setup the selectors based on 
   that theme. At the moment, the default selectors are TwentyFifteens.
 * I have not actually used the Theme Test Drive plugin when debugging because I
   didn’t think it was the right tool as this is a plugin I am building not a theme.
   If there is a problem with my plugin when using Theme Test Drive I will look 
   into it but I don’t see how it should be affecting the site overall.
 * As for you wanting to display custom content, you can do so using [the hooks](https://github.com/seb86/Auto-Load-Next-Post/wiki/Hooks)
   I have put in place.
 * Thank you for your feedback and if you have any other suggestions, please let
   me know.
 * 🙂

 * Hi Sebastian.
 * I use Theme Test Drive to do tweeks to a theme other than the one shown to visitors.
   I know you shouldn’t tweek on live websites, but this way it is so much easier.
 * As far as I can see, the hooks only deal with post formats. Or maybe I don’t 
   understand the documentation. Could I use `add_action( 'alnp_load_after_content','
   your_function_name' );` with a function that queries the database for certain
   posts with certain custom field values and have the query be used instead of 
   next post.
 * In pseudo code:
    $seriesname = get_post_custom_field(“series name”) $newposts
   = get_post(custom_field_value = $seriesname) while $newposts as $NEXTpost echo
   $NEXTpost->link, $NEXTpost->headline, $NEXTpost->thumbimage
 * Obvously I could rearrange post’s dates and go that route, but I’d rather not,
   as this still would not give me the control I want in directing the user in the
   direction I want them to go.

 * Once you have copied the template file into your theme, you can [query the posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)
   how you want [on line 12](https://github.com/seb86/Auto-Load-Next-Post/blob/master/template/content-partial.php#L12).
 * You can also replace [line 26](https://github.com/seb86/Auto-Load-Next-Post/blob/master/template/content-partial.php#L26)
   with your own content including custom meta data.
 * For the plugin to remain working you need to leave the post navigation within
   the loop.

 * Maybe this is a crazy request, but right now I use the “Next Page, Not Next Post”
   plugin so that visitors can work their way through a hierarchy of pages. It would
   be so much easier if the next page in the hierarchy simply loaded, rather than
   the visitor having to click on a “next page” link.
