I would like to get_the_category inside the_post_navigation. I created a custom field on Categories to assign a hex color to each category. I would like to use this color as the next / prev link background color when hovering on the post navigation.

How can I get the id of the category of the "next" or "prev" post?

I should clarify that every post has only two categories and I am only trying to get the id of the second category.

• Theres an example at the end of the site you can use. codex.wordpress/Next_and_Previous_Links – Cam Commented Feb 1, 2018 at 15:50
• Sorry Cam - not following. The examples at the end of that page are related to Pages, not Posts. And the Post-related samples don't involve categories. Please clarify / elaborate. – whakawaehere Commented Feb 1, 2018 at 15:59
• $next_post = get_next_post(); var_dump($next_post); $cats= get_the_terms($next_post->ID) var_dump($next_post); exit; But what happens if there's more than one category on a post? – admcfajn Commented Feb 2, 2018 at 0:33
• There will only ever be two categories and I need only [1] thanks for this - I will try in the morning! – whakawaehere Commented Feb 2, 2018 at 0:35

Here was my final solution:

$next_post = get_next_post();
if (!empty( $next_post )){
  $next_categories = get_the_terms($next_post->ID,'category');
  $next_cat_data = get_option('category_'.$next_categories[1]->term_id);
  if (isset($next_cat_data['hex'])){
    echo "<style>div.nav-next:hover{background-color:".$next_cat_data['hex'].";} div.nav-next:hover span.post-title, div.nav-next:hover span.meta-nav {color:#f8f7f4;}</style>";
  }
}
$previous_post = get_previous_post();
if (!empty( $previous_post )){
  $prev_categories = get_the_terms($previous_post->ID,'category');
  $prev_cat_data = get_option('category_'.$prev_categories[1]->term_id);
  if (isset($prev_cat_data['hex'])){
    echo "<style>div.nav-previous:hover{background-color:".$prev_cat_data['hex'].";} div.nav-previous:hover span.post-title, div.nav-previous:hover span.meta-nav {color:#f8f7f4;}</style>";
  }
}
