Hello,

I am trying to get the prev/next arrows to only change within a category in my shop. I used this code in the functions.php of the child theme:

function x_entry_navigation() {

$stack = x_get_stack();

if ( $stack == ‘ethos’ ) {
$left_icon = ‘<i class=”x-icon-chevron-left”></i>’;
$right_icon = ‘<i class=”x-icon-chevron-right”></i>’;
} else {
$left_icon = ‘<i class=”x-icon-arrow-left”></i>’;
$right_icon = ‘<i class=”x-icon-arrow-right”></i>’;
}

$is_ltr = ! is_rtl();
$prev_post = get_adjacent_post( true, ”, false );
$next_post = get_adjacent_post( true, ”, true);
$prev_icon = ( $is_ltr ) ? $left_icon : $right_icon;
$next_icon = ( $is_ltr ) ? $right_icon : $left_icon;

?>

<div class=”x-nav-articles”>

<?php if ( $prev_post ) : ?>
” title=”<?php __( ‘Previous Post’, ‘__x__’ ); ?>” class=”prev”>
<?php echo $prev_icon; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( $next_post ) : ?>
” title=”<?php __( ‘Next Post’, ‘__x__’ ); ?>” class=”next”>
<?php echo $next_icon; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php

}

But as soon as I implement it, the arrows are gone on the site. If I change the get_adjacent_post to (TRUE,,…) in the main theme, the same results happen – arrows are gone. I tried setting up a development site with only the theme and WooCommerce active, added the function to the child theme – and again the arrows vanished.

Do you know what I need to do to get the arrows working in my Shop?

Thanks in advance,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

You can try this code instead.

function x_entry_navigation() {

  $stack = x_get_stack();

  if ( $stack == 'ethos' ) {
    $left_icon  = '<i class="x-icon-chevron-left" data-x-icon=""></i>';
    $right_icon = '<i class="x-icon-chevron-right" data-x-icon=""></i>';
  } else {
    $left_icon  = '<i class="x-icon-arrow-left" data-x-icon=""></i>';
    $right_icon = '<i class="x-icon-arrow-right" data-x-icon=""></i>';
  }

  $is_ltr    = ! is_rtl();
  $prev_post = get_adjacent_post( false, '', false ,'category');
  $next_post = get_adjacent_post( false, '', true,'category' );
  $prev_icon = ( $is_ltr ) ? $left_icon : $right_icon;
  $next_icon = ( $is_ltr ) ? $right_icon : $left_icon;

  ?>

  <div class="x-nav-articles">

    <?php if ( $prev_post ) : ?>
      <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $prev_post ); ?>" title="<?php __( 'Previous Post', '__x__' ); ?>" class="prev">
        <?php echo $prev_icon; ?>
      </a>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php if ( $next_post ) : ?>
      <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $next_post ); ?>" title="<?php __( 'Next Post', '__x__' ); ?>" class="next">
        <?php echo $next_icon; ?>
      </a>
    <?php endif; ?>

  </div>

  <?php

  }

Hope that helps.

Hi!
Thanks for the quick reply. I implemented this code, but unfortunately it doesn’t do anything. The arrows show up, but switch between categories when at the end of one.
I also think that the $taxonomy only gets called if $in_same_term is set true. https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_adjacent_post

Do you have any other ideas maybe? 😉

Hi,

Yes, it should be true.

Kindly change the code to this.

function x_entry_navigation() {

  $stack = x_get_stack();

  if ( $stack == 'ethos' ) {
    $left_icon  = '<i class="x-icon-chevron-left" data-x-icon=""></i>';
    $right_icon = '<i class="x-icon-chevron-right" data-x-icon=""></i>';
  } else {
    $left_icon  = '<i class="x-icon-arrow-left" data-x-icon=""></i>';
    $right_icon = '<i class="x-icon-arrow-right" data-x-icon=""></i>';
  }

  $is_ltr    = ! is_rtl();
  $prev_post = get_adjacent_post( true, '', false ,'category');
  $next_post = get_adjacent_post( true, '', true,'category' );
  $prev_icon = ( $is_ltr ) ? $left_icon : $right_icon;
  $next_icon = ( $is_ltr ) ? $right_icon : $left_icon;

  ?>

  <div class="x-nav-articles">

    <?php if ( $prev_post ) : ?>
      <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $prev_post ); ?>" title="<?php __( 'Previous Post', '__x__' ); ?>" class="prev">
        <?php echo $prev_icon; ?>
      </a>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php if ( $next_post ) : ?>
      <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $next_post ); ?>" title="<?php __( 'Next Post', '__x__' ); ?>" class="next">
        <?php echo $next_icon; ?>
      </a>
    <?php endif; ?>

  </div>

  <?php

  }

If that doesn’t help, please provide us wordpress admin login private reply.

Thanks

Hi there,

Please try product_cat instead of category.

$prev_post = get_adjacent_post( true, '', false ,'product_cat');
  $next_post = get_adjacent_post( true, '', true,'product_cat' );

Products aren’t the same as post, it uses different taxonomy.

Thanks!

[steinmacher]

That was it. Thank you so much!

You’re more than welcome, glad we could help.
