I would like my next/previous links on multi page and single page posts to be within a single category (the one containing the current post). How do I do this? There's not a single.php file.

Thanks!

Added an RFE to http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=3650

This plugin works beautifully, even with posts belonging to more than one category:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smarter-navigation/

Somehow the plugin detects from which category page the user comes from.

I'm using ATA 3.4.4 and WP 2.8.6

Hope this helps!

Using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smarter-navigation/ works on two sites http://www.paperflame.com/content & http://www.enduro.nl but it has to be configured somehow with atahualpa and I'm not sure how. So far it's not working for me. I have installed the plugin and put <code><?php echo '<div class="newer">'; previous_post_smart();echo '</div>'; ?>
<?php echo '<div class="older">'; next_post_smart();echo '</div>'; ?></code> into ATA->CENTRE COL->THE LOOP, but if you look at http://travelhorizonstyle.com.au/cat...e-east/turkey/ and then click "Cappadocia & coastal-splendours" the next/prev is not showing all four posts (tours), ie (Taste of Turkey) is not displayed at all.

I was going to ask exactly the same question

I love Atahualpa so far, but keeping Next/Previous in the same category is important to me and I don't have any idea about how it can be done (with or without a plugin).

I had the same problem, I solved it with the following changes in bfa_next_previous_links.php (bold are the changes)

/* Next/Previous POST Links (on single post pages)
   in next_post_link "next" means newer posts
   Available parameters for $location: Top, Middle, Bottom. Default: Top  */

function bfa_next_previous_post_links($location = "Top") {

global $bfa_ata;

	if ( is_single() AND strpos($bfa_ata['location_single_next_prev'],$location) !== FALSE AND
	
    // don't display on WP Email pages
    intval(get_query_var('email')) != 1 )  {

		echo '<div class="navigation-'.strtolower($location).'">
		<div class="older' . ($bfa_ata['home_single_next_prev'] != '' ?
        '-home' : '') . '">';

		$bfa_ata['next_prev_orientation'] == 'Older Left, Newer Right' ? 
		previous_post_link('%link', '%title', 'yes', TRUE) : 
		next_post_link('%link', '%title', TRUE);

		echo ' &nbsp;</div>' . ($bfa_ata['home_single_next_prev'] != '' ?
        '<div class="home"><a href="' . $bfa_ata['get_option_home'] . '/">' .
        $bfa_ata['home_single_next_prev'] . '</a></div>' : '') .
		'<div class="newer' . ($bfa_ata['home_single_next_prev'] != '' ?
        '-home' : '') . '">&nbsp; ';

		$bfa_ata['next_prev_orientation'] == 'Older Left, Newer Right' ? 
		next_post_link('%link', '%title', TRUE) : 
		previous_post_link('%', '%title', 'yes', TRUE);

		echo '</div><div class="clearboth"></div></div>';

	}

}

sorry for my poor english........

thank, Chiara - did not even think of this before, a great addition to some of my blogs.

chiara7, Thanks for the php code, which eventually helped to solve my problem, that was a real pain for me!

With Atahualpa 3.5.3, there is an theme option for that purpose:

"Center Column" / "Next-Previous Navigation" / "New: Keep next/prev. links on SINGLE post pages to same post category?"

Unfortunatly, it doesn't work for me.

The links are not visible in the single post view, while I am locking a ast that another one of the same category.

Any idea ?

- Meantime, I have tested with a categery having more post, and in that case, no pb...
How to report a bug?

BTW, I very thank the team for this so great/configurable theme!!!

what version of Atahualpa and WP?
What is the url?
How many categories do you have on each post?
