Post-nav links

Hi there,

Try this:

add_action('wp', 'custom_generate_category_post_navigation');
function custom_generate_category_post_navigation() {
	 if ( !in_category('cat-x')) {
	    add_filter('generate_category_post_navigation', '__return_true' );
   }
}

Replace the cat-x with your category slug: https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_Category_Page

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hi there,

Try this snippet:

add_action('after_setup_theme', function() {
    add_filter('generate_category_post_navigation', function($display) {
        // List of category slugs to exclude
        $excluded_slugs = ['articles'];

        // Get the current post's category slugs
        $post_categories = get_the_category();
        $post_slugs = wp_list_pluck($post_categories, 'slug');

        // Check if the current post is in any of the excluded categories
        $is_excluded = !empty(array_intersect($excluded_slugs, $post_slugs));

        // If the post is in an excluded category, return false to disable navigation
        // Otherwise, return the original value
        return $is_excluded ? false : $display;
    });
});

Hi there,

can you share a link to a single post where the navigation needs to be removed ?

Have you tried adding the entire snippet I provided above?

Hi there,

the method Leo provided should work:

add_action('wp', 'custom_generate_category_post_navigation');
function custom_generate_category_post_navigation() {
	 if ( !in_category('articles')) {
	    add_filter('generate_category_post_navigation', '__return_true' );
   }
}

How did you add the PHP code?

And with David’s code, you need to disable the Display post navigation option at customizer > layout > blog > content > single.

In this case, you need to disable the post navigation because the snippet will enable post pagination where the current post is not within the category you chose to exclude in the snippet.

Hmmm… something seems to be conflicting.
How about some CSS to hide it instead ?

.single-post .category-articles #nav-below {
    display: none;
}
