Next/Previous Post text change

Hi @danildilawar

Yes, theres a built in filter function for that. (see inside examples.txct in the plugin root) which you add to your functions.php file or similar location (I suggest a child theme)

For your use case, you’ll need to use a conditional check for modifying the text on a per category use case.

Something like: (not tested on a live environment so please check the code)

function wp_post_nav_translate( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
//project category
if (is_category(‘project’)) {
switch ( $translated_text ) {
case ‘Category: ‘ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Project Category: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
case ‘Previous Post’ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Previous Projext: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
case ‘Next Post’ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Next Project: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
}
}
//portfolio category
elseif (is_category(‘portfolio’)) {
switch ( $translated_text ) {
case ‘Category: ‘ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Portfolio Category: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
case ‘Previous Post’ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Previous Portfolio: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
case ‘Next Post’ :
$translated_text = __( ‘Next Portfolio: ‘, ‘wp-post-nav’ );
break;
}
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘wp_post_nav_translate’, 20, 3 );

Ah so that does make a difference as the above is for the default ‘post’ post type.

You need to adjust it for your custom post types so instead of using the is_category wordpress filter, you need to use a post type check.

if ( ‘portfolio’ == get_post_type() ) {
}

elsif ( ‘project’ == get_post_type() {
}

Hi @quanvan

Thats not currently possible and is a really limited use case to work that way.

It would require a customised solution as getting posts of the same tag is a custom query and not something that can easily be built in to the plugin.
