previous_post_link in same taxonomy in custom post type

Question

Im trying to make previous_post_link and next_post_link work inside a custom post type, inside a same category (taxonomy) but its not working.

It this posible ?

Im trying

<?php previous_post_link('<div class="posts-next">%link</div>', 'Next in category',TRUE); ?>

Answer 1

I'd suggest using a plugin for this. next_post_link and previous_post_link will use the category taxonomy (literally)*, so they will not work as expected with custom taxonomies, which I think you are using here.

I've used both Smarter Navigation by Scribu and Ambrosite Next/Previous Post Link Plus, which are both great plugins for this sort of thing.

*See the source for get_adjacent_post() which is used by WP's next/previous_post functions in \wp-includes\link-template.php to see how "category" is hard-coded.
