I have a problem with the products navigation. I’ll give you an example, based on your demo site: When you are on the product list, there are some products, click one but remember the previous and the next one. Now on the single product page there are arrows that goes you to the previous and the next product. When you click them you will see that the product that will be displayed is not the next or the previous one. Could you help me?

Hi

The arrows are category based, so it will show the next/previous one in the category

Hi,

I’ve a question about the product navigation and the arrows. I’ve categories that have subcategories inside. When I enter in one of these subcategories, I see all the products fine. But when I try to navigate inside a product page, it shows me the next products of the category, not of the subcategory.

Example: I have a category called “Sheets” with 3 subcategories “Digital Sheets”, “Letterpress Sheets” and “Custom Sheets”. When I enter inside a product in Digital Sheets and I click the next button, it shows me a product of Custom Sheet, not the next product in the subcategory.

How can I solve it?

Thanks!
Damián.

Hi,

The WP navigation functions used next_post_link() and prev_post_link() only accept the parent category as a parameter, you cannot refine to the child category.

Thanks,
David.
