Restrict gutenberg block next post & previous post to same category

[laoyingzhige]

What problem does this address?

I am using gutenberg default blocks [next post], [previous post] in the template.

but,

In gutenberg editor,

It don’t have the parameters to set to restrict post navigation to the same category.

What is your proposed solution?

I think many wordpress users need this feature to restrict [next post], [previous post] navigation to the same category.

So, I suggest to add this feature.

Do you agree？ friends?

Thanks very much.

@laoyingzhige Thanks for filing this ticket. Your original support thread was on my list. Nice to see it already here. :)

For more context, both the previous_post_link() and next_post_link() PHP functions allow for several category/taxonomy-related options that their block equivalents do not currently have:

function previous_post_link(
	$format = '« %link',
	$link = '%title',
	$in_same_term = false,
	$excluded_terms = '',
	$taxonomy = 'category'
)

Since both of the blocks are just wrappers for the PHP function, it should be relatively straightforward to transfer the $in_same_term and $taxonomy parameters to block settings. This is also a somewhat common request based on my own experience in the past.
