 * Hi there,
 * I’m trying to insert a next post link, with the default title and limited to 
   the category taxonomy.
 * I’ve tried the [codex page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link)
 * But I am having trouble limiting the category and having the title show up as
   the actual post title. Code used;
 * `<?php next_post_link( $format, '%title', $in_same_term = true); ?>`
 * Could I please get some assistance, or more importantly a reference to how to
   use the php arguments properly?
 * Thanks

 * You haven’t defined `$format` there, so unless this is set somewhere, that’s 
   a problem. You also haven’t defined the parameter for `$in_same_term` the right
   way.
 * You’d need to use something like this:
 * `<?php next_post_link( '%link &raquo;', '%title', true ); ?>`
