    I am having an issue trying to get next_entry links working on single entry pages with a URL like this:

    http://www.mysite.com/index.php/health-pages/view/blood-pressure/this-is-the-entry

    Where:

    health-pages = template group
    view = template
    blood-pressure = category
    this-is-the-entry = entry

    {exp:channel:entries channel="health-pages" url_title="{segment_4}" limit="1"}
    
        <!-- Content -->
    
      {/exp:channel:entries}
    
    {exp:channel:next_entry channel="health-pages" category_group="3" category="{segment_3_category_id}"}
      Next entry: <a href="http://{path=health-pages/view/{segment_3}/}">{title}</a>
    {/exp:channel:next_entry}

    In another attempt, I have also tried to obtain the entry ID from the URL because the next_entry tag sits outside of the channel:entries tag, by using the “URL title to entry ID” plugin at http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/url-title-to-entry-id/ as so:

    {exp:channel:next_entry channel="health-pages" category_group="3" category="{segment_3_category_id}" 
    entry_id="{exp:url_title_to_entry_id url_title='{segment_4}'}"}
      Next entry: <a href="http://{path=health-pages/view/{segment_3}/}">{title}</a>
    {/exp:channel:next_entry}

    Above, I am using Low Seg2Cat to get the category ID where needed.

    Does anyone have any idea why this isn’t working? Next_entry links are not showing up at all ...

    This has become so frustrating, that I’ve started trying to rebuild things using reverse_related_entries. I’d go either road right now.

    Thank you for any ideas, I’ve been stuck on this one for hours and am hoping that someone with a little more EE experience can put me back on the right road.
