   Hello Forum! I have a somehow strange problem… I just wanted to change the appearance of the next & previous post-links. I tried for some time now bit it simply is not working…

   I looked up the source code and tryed to build a filter. I'm not that good at filtering php stuff so here is my code:
   

   function childtheme_prev_post_link() {
   	$args = array ('format'              => '%link',
   								 'link'                => '<span class="meta-nav">MMM</span> %title',
   								 'in_same_cat'         => FALSE,
   								 'excluded_categories' => '');
   	$args = apply_filters('childtheme_prev_post_link_args', $args );
   	previous_post_link($args['format'], $args['link'], $args['in_same_cat'], $args['excluded_categories']);
   } // end thematic_previous_post_link
   add_filter('thematic_previous_post_link','childtheme_prev_post_link');

   I don't even know if I did that right… The three MMM are just for testing purposes. I just wanted to change or remove the basic « symbol.

   Help would be very much appreciated!

   try this:

   function childtheme_override_previous_post_link() {
   	$args = array ('format'              => '%link',
   								 'link'                => '<span class="meta-nav">MMM</span> %title',
   								 'in_same_cat'         => FALSE,
   								 'excluded_categories' => '');
   	$args = apply_filters('childtheme_prev_post_link_args', $args );
   	previous_post_link($args['format'], $args['link'], $args['in_same_cat'], $args['excluded_categories']);
   } // end thematic_previous_post_link
   add_filter('thematic_previous_post_link','childtheme_override_previous_post_link');

   For the next link use childtheme_override_next_post_link

   Hi Jose, thanks for your approach!

   You just changed the ‹function childtheme_prev_post_link()› to ‹function childtheme_override_previous_post_link()› right?

   But that unfortunately this is still not working. I just get the same old « on the screen…
   Just cannot explain myself why this ain't working… could there be another filter in my functions that is already calling something that blocks this one?
   I searched the document for navigation stuff but I didn't used it until now,… so I really got no solution…

   I could post my complete ‹functions.php› if that helps…

   Hm strange i tried that one before posting it and worked for me, looking at thematic code, if you declare childtheme_override_previous_post_link(), it should use it instead of the original one.

   To test if something is blocking the code rename the functions file and create a clean one with just that to see if it works. If it works copy and paste stuff from the old functions one function at a time to find the problem.

   Also the method i mentioned i tested only on latest thematic version, 0.9.7.6, make sure you have that but be aware that updating to it can reset some widget or break your main menu a bit like explained here: http://developing.thematic4you.com/2010/04/breaking-things-to-fix-others/

   Ouh!
   It was the new ‹Thematic› version I didn't update to… now it works like a charm! Thanks for that little hint…
   I have got another little problem with separators for category list… perhaps you got any tips there, too?

   I know it's off-topic but here is the CSS I used for the separators:
   
.widget_categories li{
display: inline;
font-style: normal;
font-weight:normal;
font-size:10px;
line-height:15px;
text-transform:none;
}

   .widget_categories li:after{
   content: " | ";
   }

   .widget_categories li:last-of-type:after{
content: none;
}

   This CSS solution works fine in Firefox but does (for some strange reason) not work in Safari. For the tags-widget I used php to create the separators but I'm not quite sure how this would work for the cats.
   Here's my code for the tag-separators:
   
// configure Tag-Cloud
function my_tag_cloud($defaults) {
$args = array(
'smallest' => 7, 'largest' => 7, 'unit' => 'pt', 'number' => 25,
'format' => 'flat', 'separator' => " | ", 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC',
'exclude' => '', 'include' => '', 'link' => 'view', 'taxonomy' => 'post_tag', 'echo' => true
);
$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
$tags = get_terms( $args['taxonomy'], array_merge( $args, array( 'orderby' => 'count', 'order' => 'DESC' ) ) ); // Always query top tags

   if ( empty( $tags ) )
   return;

   foreach ( $tags as $key => $tag ) {
   if ( 'edit' == $args['link'] )
   $link = get_edit_tag_link( $tag->term_id, $args['taxonomy'] );
   else
   $link = get_term_link( intval($tag->term_id), $args['taxonomy'] );
   if ( is_wp_error( $link ) )
   return false;

   $tags[ $key ]->link = $link;
   $tags[ $key ]->id = $tag->term_id;
   }

   $return = wp_generate_tag_cloud( $tags, $args ); // Here's where those top tags get sorted according to $args

   $return = apply_filters( 'my_tag_cloud', $return, $args );

   if ( 'array' == $args['format'] || empty($args['echo']) )
   return $return;

   echo $return;
}
