I just upgraded to Wordpress 2.9 and I am happy to see this plugin still works great. I am looking over the code and I am hoping the new post thumbnail function with WP2.9 might somehow be incorporated into this plugin. Whereas the next prev links also shows post thumbnails.

This is what I have been looking for. Has there been any recent development on the code for WP 2.8? I am about to try this on my blog and see if it still works. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Ricky! I think I’ve got it all sorted out. Here’s the link: http://gobecky.net/2008/10/06/prev-next-by-cat/

It’s not just my first plugin, but my first time writing a function (pretty pathetic considering I’ve been building sites with PHP and MySQL for 5 or 6 years!) – I’d love to hear any feedback you might have.

Heh, thats what normally happens to me. I get something thats nearly there, then I have to modify it to get it to work. Most of the owrk is in the overly complex SQL statement for getting the previous and next posts in a catagory. So hopefully your work shouldn’t be too hard. If you manage to get a plugin written, give me a link, and I’ll link to it from here.

This is SO cose to what I’m looking for, but no cigar.

It’s actually just the display of the links that I prefer to be different. I’d like it to be like so:

Category A
- next
- prev

Category B
- next
- prev

and so forth. I think I can use your queries as a starting point and just wrap it all in a foreach loop, but any thoughts you have would be much appreciated!
