Useful stuff!
by Michael Krivoshey·6 years ago
An useful plugin, pure and simple . Do everything out of the box
but why no updates?
Please update it or make a fork.
What I wanted

Exactly what I expected! Also on mobile device
It works!

I love the plugin. It allows my visitors to hit on the next/previous post by clicking on the buttons. However, my only complaint is that, visitors can only go to the next/previous post FROM THE SAME CATEGORY. But what if my visitors wants to browse through the LATEST posts on the homepage? It would be nice to have both! 🙂
I believe this is a WordPress issue and not a plugin issue. Anyway, I love this reliable plugin nonetheless. Good work Devs! 😀
Thank you!

I’ve been trying to create my own navigation links for category nav and archive nav respectively. This plugin does exactly what I need it to do! Thank you 🙂
No category sorting to be selected
by JK·9 years ago
I think the plugin is working with WP 4.5 (April 2016) though it has not been updated for 2 years.
But what I need it for is not working, not available: sort by category. There is no field in the backend to switch from sorting by date to sorting by category.
I guess it requires programming abilities, which I do not expect from a plugin. I am not a programmer and like to use WordPress´ CMS.
Have to go on searching for another plugin that sorts by category… (weird enough to me that is not in the theme or WP in general as I would think it is useful for everyone in general).
