All you need to do is replace this piece:

echo '< span>«Previous< /span>';

with something like:

echo '< img src="xyz.png" alt="Previous" />';

You can even replace the img HTML code with a variable:

$image = '< img src="xyz.png" alt="Previous" />';

echo $image;

I was having trouble with email notifications so I apologize for the delayed response. If you take a look at the functions above you’ll see that they take a comma separated list of excluded categories as the second parameter. So to exclude categories 4 and 6 you would put:

< ?php if(!get_adjacent_post(false, '4,6', true)) { echo '«Previous'; } ?>

<?php if(!get_adjacent_post(true, '', true)) { echo '«Previous'; } // if there are no older articles ?>

<?php if(!get_adjacent_post(true, '', false)) { echo 'Next »'; } // if there are no newer articles ?>

Because i tried that and it just scrolls through all the posts, i am using this in a news category and want it to work just with say cat id 9..

Take a look above, below the heading that says “The solution, with sample markup.” The get_adjacent_posts() function takes the $in_same_cat as the first parameter. Set it to “true” if you only want to retrieve posts that are in the same category as the one you’re viewing; “false” if you want to retrieve posts in any category.

What exactly is not working for you? Maybe I can be of more help if you provide some more details.

Where and how do i add the $in_same_cat into your simple example?

Cannot seem to get it to work..

Cheers

Thanks for ya help. It works
