I’ve gotten a few emails about my (old) Next/Previous Post in Same Category plugin and about the fact that’s its broken - however, this functionality is now built into wordpress. (and I have it working on the site right now as a matter of fact). I’m a bit behind on what has been included with each new version of Wordpress, so I’m not sure when this made it’s way in there, but.. YAY! Now I don’t have to update the plugin! LOL! So, in any case, if you want to include links to the next/previous post in the same category as the one being viewed, you just need to do this (on the “single.php” template page INSIDE the “Loop“)

<?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link', 'Previous post in category: %title', TRUE); ?>
<?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;', 'Next post in category: %title', TRUE); ?>

Where the first argument (where I have “« %link”) is the format of what is displayed… ie. if you want text before or a tag around the actual link (represented by “%link”) this is where you say how you want it to show.

And the second argument (where I have “Previous post in category: %title” is the text of the actual link. You don’t have to have the “%title” in there - but I think it’s useful)

Had to create a plugin. Guess this means I’m getting back in the groove. ;P Referring back to these posts, this plugin will make a button on your edit post/page making it possible to paste some code you wanted to show, select the code, then click “decode” - which will convert your < to &lt; and > to &gt; in the selection - so that it doesn’t break your page.

Installation instructions:
Download the Decoder Button plugin. (Save that page and just make sure the rename it to “decoder_button.php”) Upload it to your wp-content/plugins folder, and activate on the plugins page in your wordpress admin interface.

I know this has been asked for some time. You can thank the snow storm we got here in the northeast, that made me stick around long enough to get it done.

I’ve updated my wpPaginate plugin to work with WP 1.5. I got a lot of inspiration from the Custom Posts Per Page plugin (and my plugin should work in conjunction with that one).

I’ve seen a few people request the ability to do next/previous posts within the same category. I thought it had already been done and I swear I looked around to see if anyone had, but I didn’t find it. If it has been done, well at least I had fun writing this.

Current Version: v 0.2

So here’s my next/previous post in category plugin:

UPDATE There’s been a bit of debate about the need for a central database of plugins. There’s a lot of developers now developing plugins, and it’s quite a task to find them as a user, as well as a developer to see if something you want to do has already been done. In any case - this plugin has apparently already been done by coffee2code.com (with only some minimal differences).

I’ll leave my post up in case it’s still of value to anyone….

Christine asked for a plugin so that she could have a list of recent commenters on her blog (and the list needed to exclude herself) - as well, she wanted a way to show the posts that have been commented on most recently. While the two requests are different, I still put them in one plugin. (I want to note that this plugin was based heavily on the recent comments plugin by mtdewvirus.com)

Current Version: v 1.0

So here’s the plugin - installation and use are pretty simple:

This plugin will allow you to put next / previous links for date archive pages. For example, you’re looking at the archive page for “January 7, 2004″ - it will put a link to the previous day and next day page. If there are no posts on that day - it will look for the next available day that has posts. So in our example - if we had posts on January 6, January 7 (the page we’re looking at) and there wasn’t another post until January 10. Calling the two functions in this plugin, you could do this:

« January 6, 2004 | Home | January 10, 2004 »

Current Version: v 2.0

The idea of this plugin was to create a version of this for WordPress. I am aware that there is another similar script - but I didn’t want the actual posts pulled in - just the link to go see the posts for that day in the past. As well - I wanted to use it outside the WP Loop.

Current Version: v 2.0

PLEASE NOTE: Development of this plugin has (for some time now) been taken over by Mark - you can download the latest version from his site here

This plugin will allow your readers to get email notifications when comments are left on a post after their own. The install is very simple and does not modify any WP core code. As well, it’s future-proofed to work, as is, with the next version of WordPress without your needing to upgrade the plugin.

Here’s the download

Current Version: 1.5
(Support for 1.2 ends with v. 1.4.4 - still available here)

Here’s the instructions (also included in a text file in the download):

This plugin is designed to paginate your pages (similarly the way the mt-paginate plugin worked). See instructions/information below. (Again - I’m still a WP-newbie - so there may be updates as people use this, and give me feedback. Please check this post to see updates)

Current Version: v. .1.1
Last Updated: 8/18/04 3:34 PM EST
IMPORTANT: Future development on this version has ceased. The latest version of this plugin (compatible with WP 1.5) can be found here.

Here is a plugin for wordpress using the latest version of the “show/hide” script (which lets you include other text inline, as well as opens up the doors to use the same function for comments) as seen here here. (Of course that post was written for MT)

Current Version: v. 1.4
Last Updated: 8/30/04 8:42 PM EST
