 * I am trying to modify my previous/next post navigation on a custom post type 
   page. I want to exclude the “Link” post formats from the navigation, so only 
   standard posts are included, but I can’t seem to get it to work. It works perfectly
   otherwise.
 * Here is my code:
 *     ```
       <?php // Previous/next post navigation.
       $next_post = get_next_post();
       $previous_post = get_previous_post();
       the_post_navigation( array(
           'next_text' =>  get_the_post_thumbnail($next_post->ID,'thumbnail') . '<h4>' . __( 'Next Project:') . '</h4> ' .
               '<h3>%title</h3>',
           'prev_text' =>  get_the_post_thumbnail($previous_post->ID,'thumbnail') . '<h4>' . __( 'Previous Project:') . '</h4>' .
               '<h3>%title</h3>',
       ) ); ?>
       ```
   
 * I have also tried using the previous/next_post_link query, this one shows nothing
   at all when the in_same_term variable is set to true:
 *     ```
       <?php previous_post_link( '%link', 'Previous project: %title', TRUE, '', 'post_format' ); ?>
       <?php next_post_link( '%link', 'Next project: %title', TRUE, '', 'post_format' ); ?>
       ```
   
 * Anyone have any suggestions? This is beyond frustrating.
