    Within Same Category, Excluding One
    Displays link to next post in the same category, as long as it is not in category 13 (the category ID #). You can change the number to any category you wish to exclude. Exclude multiple categories by using ” and ” as a delimiter.

    <?php next_post_link( '%link', 'Next post in category', TRUE, '13' ); ?>
