SCP Order taxinomies wrong

I’m using SCP Order since a year without any problem But I recently noticed that m’y taxinomies went wrong now.

The order is correct but the bottom taxinomies on each post is wrong : it says “previous” instead of “next” and vice versa. How do I fix it ?

Hi @sarahmelyne, thanks for the clear report — and for being a long-time user!

You’ve spotted a real side effect of a change we made in 2.7.2. We adjusted how the previous/next post links at the bottom of single posts follow your manual order. The new logic treats “previous” as the item before the current one in your arranged order and “next” as the item after — which is what people ordering chapters/lessons/steps expect, but it’s the opposite of the older behavior you’d been relying on. Your ordering itself is perfectly fine; it’s only the two link directions that flipped.

Since both directions are “correct” depending on how a site is set up, the next update (2.8.1) adds a small switch so you can choose. Once you’re on 2.8.1, drop this one line into your theme’s functions.php (or a snippets plugin) to restore the original direction:

add_filter( 'scpo_reverse_adjacent_posts', '__return_true' );

That’s it — no template editing needed. I’ll reply here as soon as 2.8.1 is live. If you’d like a fix before then, the quickest manual option is to swap the previous_post_link() and next_post_link() calls in your theme’s single.php — happy to walk you through it if you let me know your theme.

Thanks again for flagging this!
