Blog filter and next/previous article

[theFencer]

Hi,
I’ve got a problem with blog category filter.
In the “news”, I stated that should be shown just articles in the “news” category.
The initial filter works correctly but, when I read a single post, the next/previous article doesn’t respect this filter.
As you can see in the first picture (filter categories.png), the next article is ok but the previous is not.
I also setted the flag in the theme options (filter categories 2.png) for the “same category post navigation” but nothing changed.
Same behaviour in another blog section where I setted the blog option to show just articles categorized as “DN15-16”.

Thanks.

PS: every time I edit something in the theme options, <br>’s in the footer are always deleted also if I leave it in text mode visualization…

It’s because the posts have more then one Category. The single nav is not limited to the ‘News’ category you have selected, rather the category the post has.

As you can see in the first picture, the “previous article” (AUGURI) has a category (Archivio) completely different from the one actually shown (DN15-16 and News).
Moreover, what does it means the flag “Same category post navigation”? The description seems very clear: “Enable this if you would like to set it so that the SINGLE POST pagination only includes items within the same category”.

Ah yes, I do see your issue. Please install and activate the supplied child theme, inside the child theme functions.php file paste this code. let me know if that resolves the issue.

Thank you David, that’s almost perfect.
As you told me before, it’s not filtered for the category setted in the Blog Swift Page Builder, but has one of the category in the shown article.
What you gave me is a good starting point to reach what I wish.
Can you tell me if, in the function you gave me, do I know the categories setted in the Page Builder?
I mean, in that function do I have an array with the starting categories (not the categories of the shown article)?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Glad to help where possible.

It will only stay within the current posts category. Not the post category set within the theme options.

I see.
So the only solution is to mark articles with single categories that belongs to the one set within the theme options?

Yes, that would work.

Thanks.
