next project link WordPress
- SOLVED
on my site, karenmessing.com there are 3 pages that contain multiple posts. i am building a child theme using thematic.
i need help fixing the next project link that appears on each individual post page, ex: http://karenmessing.com/?p=55.
i want the next project to link to the next post within that category, for example from http://karenmessing.com/?p=55 i want the next project to link to this post
http://karenmessing.com/?p=27
at the last post in the category i would like the "next project" link to be "print projects" (to link to the next page posts).

Already fixed this for him,i had to add the thirst argument of this function and to set it to true
karenmessing comments:
which file did you edit?
the last post on the page doesnt link to the next page.
ex:
http://karenmessing.com/?p=578
should say "WEB PROJECTS" where "NEXT PROJECT" appears on the other posts.
Erez S comments:
i edited the single.php and i'll be able to do this for in 5 minutes from now
Erez S comments:
okay,i fixed this,now you need to edit three classes to your css :
web-projects , print-projects , identity-projects
each one is for the links to the categories on the last page in the category
karenmessing comments:
i see the changes but the print projects identity projects and web projects do not link to their respective pages.
print projects should link to this page http://karenmessing.com/?page_id=68 etc
Erez S comments:
ok,i added the links,now you need to style them with css
Erez S comments:
ok,i did the style for you,now everything works great :)

Could you post the current code used to generate that part of the page?

this is my single.php code
<?php
global $options;
foreach ($options as $value) {
if (get_option( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; }
else { $$value['id'] = get_option( $value['id'] ); }
}
?>
<?php get_header() ?>
<div id="container">
<div id="project">
<div id="title"> <?php get_custom_field('title', TRUE); ?> </div>
<div id="description"> <?php get_custom_field('details', TRUE); ?> </div>
<div id="singlepostnav">
<div id="count"> <?php get_custom_field('count', TRUE); ?> </div>
<div id="slidenav"> <?php get_custom_field('slidenav', TRUE); ?> </div>
</div>
<div id="nav-below" class="navigation">
<!--
<div class="nav-previous"><?php previous_post_link('%link', '<span class="meta-nav"></span> previous project') ?></div>
<div class ="thumbnails"> |</div>
-->
<div class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link('%link', ' <span class="meta-nav"> </span>') ?></div>
</div>
</div>

This should work:
<?php next_post_link('%link', 'Next Project', true); ?>
Later Edit: more precise
<div class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link('%link', ' <span class="meta-nav"> </span>', true) ?></div>
Dan Fraticiu comments:
<div class="nav-previous"><?php previous_post_link('%link', ' <span class="meta-nav"> </span>', true) ?></div>
<div class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link('%link', ' <span class="meta-nav"> </span>', true) ?></div>
Note that if the post is the last in it's category, the link will not show. Also if it's the first previous will not show. Hope that helps.
