I am trying to:
I would like the NEXT and PREVIOUS posts links "<" ">" to link to the next item in the category.
If there are 5 shoes in the Ashton category then it will only go forward and backward with those 5 shoes.
If there are 8 shoes in the Bailey category it will only go forward and backward with those 8 shoes.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link

I expected to see:
I would like to link within the categories.

Instead, I got:
The only option currently is the entire product line.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Your observation is correct and the way next and previous post link feature works in WordPress and Toolset, it cycles through the entire post type and not just posts attached to a specific category.

To achieve this, you'll need a custom shortcode that can get the next and previous post links from a view, using PHP code. You can create a view which returns the IDs of all the posts from a specific category and then only return the links for the next and previous posts, with respect to the current post.

This kind of custom shortcode will require a fail deal of familiarity with PHP code and for personalized assistance around customizations, you can consider hiring a professional from our list of recommended contractors:
