Portfolio page – Next and Previous buttons

[metzger_1]

Is there a way to exclude a specific portfolio category from the Previous and Next Buttons on the Portfolio-Single page template?

We do not want Client coverage to show up as users flip through our portfolio itmes

Hi

Unfortunately not sorry. I’ve noticed you have removed the navigation now? That is the only solution

I think there is actually a way to adjust the PHP code in the single-portfolio.php to exclude a specific category (since I am not a PHP expert – I reached this) however all the code I have added to the file doex not seem to exclude the one category I am trying hide.

<ul class=”pagination-wrap bar-styling portfolio-pagination clearfix”>
<li class=”prev”><?php next_post_link(‘%link’, ‘<i class=”ss-navigateleft”></i>’); ?>
<?php if ($portfolio_page) { ?>
<li class=”index”>“><i class=”ss-layergroup”></i>
<?php } ?>
<li class=”next”><?php previous_post_link(‘%link’, ‘<i class=”ss-navigateright”></i>’); ?>

I know there is a way to exclude a specific category in this piece of code I just haven’t found the right code to do it. I am hoping your PHP experts can tell me the proper way to do it.

I have only hidden the post navigation temporarily, until I can implement the exclude category code.

I will forward this to the developer to see if it is possible

I was actually trying to solve a similar problem but came across this that should help you. It has an example for excluding the category.

Thanks audiophreak, but I tried both both the
$excluded_terms = ‘293’, and the
TRUE, ‘293’,

In the PHP code above. But neither of them seemed to work. Here is how I had the code listed

<ul class=”pagination-wrap bar-styling portfolio-pagination clearfix”>
<li class=”prev”><?php next_post_link(‘%link’, TRUE, ‘293’, ‘<i class=”ss-navigateleft”></i>’); ?>
<?php if ($portfolio_page) { ?>
<li class=”index”>“><i class=”ss-layergroup”></i>
<?php } ?>
<li class=”next”><?php previous_post_link(‘%link’, TRUE, ‘293’, ‘<i class=”ss-navigateright”></i>’); ?>

AND

<ul class=”pagination-wrap bar-styling portfolio-pagination clearfix”>
<li class=”prev”><?php next_post_link(‘%link’, $excluded_terms = ‘293’, ‘<i class=”ss-navigateleft”></i>’); ?>
<?php if ($portfolio_page) { ?>
<li class=”index”>“><i class=”ss-layergroup”></i>
<?php } ?>
<li class=”next”><?php previous_post_link(‘%link’, $excluded_terms = ‘293’, ‘<i class=”ss-navigateright”></i>’); ?>

Do you think I might be missing something else?

This is the code you want:

<?php next_post_link('%link', '<i class="ss-navigateleft"></i>', true, '', 'portfolio-category'); ?>

and

<?php previous_post_link('%link', '<i class="ss-navigateright"></i>', true, '', 'portfolio-category'); ?>

Sadly that did not work. Any other ideas?

[Swift Ideas – Ed]

Sorry, misread the question. I haven’t tried it, but this should be correct:

<?php next_post_link('%link', '<i class="ss-navigateleft"></i>', false, '293', 'portfolio-category'); ?>

and

<?php previous_post_link('%link', '<i class="ss-navigateright"></i>', false, '293', 'portfolio-category'); ?>

[metzger_1]

nope this didn’t work either.

[Swift Ideas – Ed]

Hmm.. Well that is the code as specified here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link

Nothing in the theme would cause that not to work.

I know I am confused too.
