Use Arrows for Post Navigation and limit to category

[Amy Kvistad]

I would like to hide my post titles and just use an arrow to navigate between posts. If I remove the title then I am also removing the link! I would also like to limit the navigation to within the same category.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Amy,

I did something like this once. In this case, above the post title itself, I wanted the arrows to show. In my child theme's functions.php, I wrote this:

/**
 * Single Post next/prev links
 *
 */
function s25_prev_next_post_nav() {
	if ( ! is_singular( 'post' ) )
		return;
	?>
	<div class="navigation">
		<div class="prev"><?php previous_post_link('%link', '&laquo;', TRUE); ?></div>
		<div class="next"><?php next_post_link('%link', '&raquo;', TRUE); ?></div>
	</div>
	<?php
}
add_action( 'genesis_before_post_title', 's25_prev_next_post_nav' );

Hi, this is great and works well. I added background color and pulled them off to the sides of the browser. One more thing I would love to fix and can't figure out is 1) how to hide the link of it is the first/last one, or 2) link to the first/last post so there is a continual loop.
