 * Hi. I’ve got a custom post type and need to exclude a post’s child posts on the
   single page when using next_post_link / previous_post_link. I’ve searched up 
   and down here and on the web but no luck. Anyone want to steer me in the right
   direction?
 * thanks

   thing, and am coming up short on info.

 * nope. I had a finite number of posts so the solution was hard-coded logic to 
   skip those particular two/three child posts. let me know if you end up figuring
   anything out though.
