A closer look.
- 01Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/keep-pagination-in-same-taxonomy/ directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
- 02Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
- 03Go to the Settings -> Reading page to configure the plugin, picking which taxonomies should be affected.
Why Isn’t It Linking To The Post I Expected?
Be sure that you’ve only selected the taxonomies that are shared between the posts you want to link together AND that you aren’t asking for the posts to match them all!
Eg. With the “ALL” option, if you select both Categories and Tags, then a post which has a category and some tags will NOT find other posts that only have the same category but no tags.
Why Can’t I See Any Difference?
Check your theme is actually using Previous/Next Post links on the Single Post pages – eg. you may need to add that block to the default 2022 and 2023 WP themes, as they no longer seem to have that initially set up for you.
