I have created a custom hierarchical taxonomy that I use to filter the posts in a blog. This is done in the loop using this code: * ``` global $wp_query; query_posts( array_merge( array( 'personality' => 'geek'), $wp_query->query ) ); ``` * where “personality” is the taxonomy name and “geek” is the value in question. So this shows only posts flagged with the geek personality. * Obviously next_post_link and previous_post_link don’t take a taxonomy into consideration, and they also seem not to use the returned results of the loop (which does), which is irritating. * But it led me to this plugin, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to use what you have to restrict the results based on the value of a custom taxonomy? So for example, I’d like to code this: * _Get the previous post where the personality is geek_. * or maybe * _Get the previous post where the personality is not nerd_. * with “nerd” being another of the taxonomy values. * Trying * ``` '%link »', 'link' => '%title', 'in_same_cat' => false, 'ex_cats' => '311', ) ); ?> ``` * didn’t work (note that “311′ is the tag_ID of the “nerd” value). * …Mike * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Special characters in titles = title being skipped whe restoring a backup](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/special-characters-in-titles-title-being-skipped-whe-restoring-a-backup/) * Thread Starter [gendem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gendem/) * (@gendem) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/special-characters-in-titles-title-being-skipped-whe-restoring-a-backup/#post-1738599) * Is there a more technical forum where I should be asking these questions? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How do I modify the loop to show only posts of a specific custom taxonomy value?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-modify-the-loop-to-show-only-posts-of-a-specific-custom-taxonomy-value/) * Thread Starter [gendem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gendem/) * (@gendem) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-modify-the-loop-to-show-only-posts-of-a-specific-custom-taxonomy-value/#post-1707113) * OK, I figured this out. For future reference, when you do the following * `query_posts( array( 'color' => 'red', 'showposts' => 10 ) );` * “red” should be the slug name, not the taxonomy value. This is what was tripping me up. * …Mike * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How do I modify the loop to show only posts of a specific custom taxonomy value?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-modify-the-loop-to-show-only-posts-of-a-specific-custom-taxonomy-value/) * Thread Starter [gendem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gendem/) * (@gendem) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-modify-the-loop-to-show-only-posts-of-a-specific-custom-taxonomy-value/#post-1707098) * For example: * ``` 'red', 'showposts' => 10 ) ); ?> ``` * returns everything regardless of the color it was assigned. From what I have read, this should have worked if executed before the loop.

And without this ability, I can’t create the url to point to the theme folder in a portable way. * In other words * `previous_posts_link('');` * doesn’t work. I can’t be the first person to ask for this, but I ahve yet to find a solution. * …Mike * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [How to show posts having both a specified category and tag applied](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-show-posts-having-both-a-specified-category-and-tag-applied/) * Thread Starter [gendem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gendem/) * (@gendem) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-show-posts-having-both-a-specified-category-and-tag-applied/#post-1316434) * I’ll just use categories then until this is sorted out. * As for the second part, [this post](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/273357?replies=3) gave me the answer 🙂 * Thanks * …Mike * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [How to strip all formatting from wp_get_categories(), including trailng
