 [Michael Krivoshey](https://profiles.wordpress.org/michaelukr/) June 8, 2019

An useful plugin, pure and simple . Do everything out of the box but why no updates?
Please update it or make a fork.

I love the plugin. It allows my visitors to hit on the next/previous post by clicking
on the buttons. However, my only complaint is that, visitors can only go to the 
next/previous post FROM THE SAME CATEGORY. But what if my visitors wants to browse
through the LATEST posts on the homepage? It would be nice to have both! 🙂 I believe
this is a Wordpress issue and not a plugin issue. Anyway, I love this reliable plugin
nonetheless. Good work Devs! 😀

I’ve been trying to create my own navigation links for category nav and archive 
nav respectively. This plugin does exactly what I need it to do! Thank you 🙂

### 󠀁[No category sorting to be selected](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-category-sorting-to-be-selected/)󠁿

 [JK](https://profiles.wordpress.org/worldwidej/) September 3, 2016

I think the plugin is working with WP 4.5 (April 2016) though it has not been updated
for 2 years. But what I need it for is not working, not available: sort by category.
There is no field in the backend to switch from sorting by date to sorting by category.
I guess it requires programming abilities, which I do not expect from a plugin. 
I am not a programmer and like to use WordPress´ CMS. Have to go on searching for
another plugin that sorts by category… (weird enough to me that is not in the theme
or WP in general as I would think it is useful for everyone in general).
