Keep post filter for one page loop
I would like wordpress to keep the query filter inside a single page loop. For example, when a user sorts by category X, the category page only gets posts from category X. However, when the user clicks on a post and navigates to one page, the next post link will go through all posts.
Here is the code in single.php:
<?php if ( have_posts() ): ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ): the_post();
...
<!-- pagination functions here. -->
<div class="nav-previous pull-left">
<?php next_post_link('%link', '<span class="hidden-xs btn-black btn"><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> Next Question </span><span class="visible-xs btn btn-black"><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> Next </span>'); // next post ?>
</div>
<div class="nav-next pull-right">
<?php previous_post_link('%link', '<span class="btn btn-black hidden-xs"> Previous Question <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></span><span class="btn btn-black visible-xs"> Previous <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></span>'); // previous post ?>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<!-- pagination functions ends here -->
<br />
<br />
<!-- comments template -->
<?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script("comment-reply"); ?>
<?php comments_template(); // include comments.php ?>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
</article>
<!-- end post-format -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
How can I ensure that the_post () only returns posts in the category the user was looking for in category.php?

I just completed a very intense mail link feature for the same exact thing this week. This feature does not use sessions, cookies, or HTTP paging sources. I posted this on WPSE as well, so I'll just post this post here.
A FEW PREVENTIONS
-
I have this function written not only for categories but also for tags, taxonomy, authors, and search terms. You can delete what you don't want.
-
By default, on any other page, when one entry is clicked, the next and previous messages will be from the same term, this can be turned off, as in the part of use right at the bottom of the message
-
This post should be read in conjunction with this post at WPSE
REPORT FROM WPSE
The original intent of this question was to find out where one mail was sent from and then, according to that, serve the next and previous post according to the referrer message
What I wanted to accomplish was for eaxample:
The page is clicked on by Pages, Taxonomies, Tags, Search Pages, or Authors. These archives serve as referrers. Now you can usually use, like in my question wp_get_referer()
, to get this referrer and use it in further queries. As @GM described in his accepted answer above , this method is not reliable, so I went and used his Alternative solution
Another problem was that you need to use some kind of cookie or session to store this referrer so that you still add messages from the original referrer when you navigate from the original separate entry that was clicked from a specific archive. Since cookies are also controlled by the end user and are therefore not reliable, and the fact that Wordpress does not use sessions by default, I refactored the next and previous links using @GM Alternative solution to have a reliable way to validate and store my original referrer
Here's what I came up with and I hope someone finds it useful in the near future. Please use and abuse the code according to your needs, just one request, leave a link to this question. :-)
NOTES TO CODE FOLLOWING
-
This code is quite long and intensive, so I won't go into details. The code was well commented
-
This code has the ability to post messages between pages within the same term as the default function
next_post_link()
andprevious_post_link()
in Wordpress. Like native functions, you must set up a taxonomy. The default value forin_same_term
istrue
, and taxonomycategory
-
Most importantly, this code requires PHP 5.4+

USE IN SINGLE TEMPLATES

$args = [
'post_types' => ['post', 'my_cpt'],
'in_same_term' => false,
'previous_text' => __( 'Vorige Pos' ),
'next_text' => __( 'Volgende Pos' ),
];
