Title: Prev/Next code Last modified: March 2, 2021 --- # Prev/Next code * Resolved [atventure](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atventure/) * (@atventure) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/prev-next-code/) * I’ve been searching to see if there is a way for the pods to create a Prev and Next link specifically to a category within the same pods post-type. I’ve tried * [pods name=”PODSNAME” limit=”1″ id=”current” orderby=”previous” where=”LOCATION. slug=’CATEGORY1′.”] [Previous](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/prev-next-code/{@permalink}?output_format=md)[/ pods] * and * [pods name=”PODSNAME” limit=”1″ where=”LOCATION.slug=’CATEGORY1′”] [Next](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/prev-next-code/{@peramlink}?output_format=md)[/ pods] * I am not sure if the id and orderby even accepts the command I’ve placed (amateur here). Not sure what else can be added or exclude. * The other thing I could do is use the site template’s Prev/Next but it will capture all the post created instead of the specific category.

This would result in something like this: `[pods name="PODSNAME" limit="1" where ="LOCATION.slug ='CATEGORY1' AND post_date > 'Current post date'" orderby="post_date ASC"]` * Cheers, Jory * Thread Starter [atventure](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atventure/) * (@atventure) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/prev-next-code/#post-14128904) * I see, I was trying to set the shortcode so there would be no need to continuously edit for new posts. * I will try out your shortcode and look into the links provided. Thank you! * Thread Starter [atventure](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atventure/) * (@atventure) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/prev-next-code/#post-14129528) * Following up with the shortcode: unable to get the * > AND post_date > ‘Current post date'” * to work. I tried the where=”LOCATION.slug=’CATEGORY1′ AND post_date=’yyyy-mm- dd’ ” and outside of where: post_date=”yyyy-mm-dd”. Site was unable to show the shortcode. When it does show, the ascending order is the initial post of the category and the descending order is the newest post of the category and not directly the previous or next of the current post. * Not sure how else to specify the current post date within the shortcode. * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/prev-next-code/#post-14133092) * Are you using this code within a Pod template? Also, have you checked the query that was made? (Add &pods_debug_sql=1 to your URL). * Let me know! * Cheers, Jory * Thread Starter [atventure](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atventure/) * (@atventure) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/prev-next-code/#post-14134778) * The code was used on the post. * Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function PodsData:: get_sql()`, 0 passed in ...PodsData.php on line 718 and exactly 1 expected in...
