Previous and Next Buttons for Posts

[jstevens]

Hello - I am working in WordPress and am a beginner at PHP. In my post page template I have the following code:

[php]

<?php next_post_link('%link', ''); ?>

<?php if ($portfolio_page) { ?>

<?php } ?>

<?php previous_post_link('%link', ''); ?>

[/php]

I know there is a way to exclude specific post categories but I have yet to find a piece of code I can add to make the exclusion work.

Can someone help me figure out what code I need to use to get the exclusion to work properly.

I don’t see that as one of the options:
