Want to replace the old ← Older posts | Newer posts → links with some page links? This plugin provides the wp_pagenavi() template tag which generates fancy pagination links. Much of the 2.x line was the work of scribu, whose write-ups on using it with secondary queries are still the ones the FAQ below points at. The plugin icon is by SimpleIcon from Flaticon. Donations I spent most of my free time creating, updating, maintaining and supporting these plugins, if you really love my plugins and could spare me a couple of bucks, I will really appreciate it. If not feel free to use it without any obligations. Usage In your theme, you need to find calls to next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link() and replace them. In the Twentyten theme, it looks like this: ← Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?> → ', 'twentyten' ) ); ?> You would replace those two lines with this: For multipart pages, you would look for code like this: and replace it with this: 'multipart' ) ); ?> Go to WP-Admin -> Settings -> PageNavi for configuration. Changing the CSS If you need to configure the CSS style of WP-PageNavi, you can copy the css/wp-pagenavi.css file from the plugin directory into your theme’s directory as wp-pagenavi.css and make your modifications there. This way, you won’t lose your changes when you update the plugin. The stylesheet sets no font and no text colour, so it inherits both from your theme, and its two border colours are CSS custom properties. A small change needs no copy of the file at all: .wp-pagenavi { --wp-pagenavi-border-color: #d0d0d0; --wp-pagenavi-border-color-current: rebeccapurple; } Alternatively, you can set “Use wp-pagenavi.css” to No on the settings page and add the styles to your theme’s style.css file directly. Changing Class Names There are filters that can be used to change the default class names that are assigned to page navigation elements. Filters wp_pagenavi_class_pages wp_pagenavi_class_first wp_pagenavi_class_previouspostslink wp_pagenavi_class_extend wp_pagenavi_class_smaller wp_pagenavi_class_page wp_pagenavi_class_current wp_pagenavi_class_larger wp_pagenavi_class_nextpostslink wp_pagenavi_class_last Filter Usage // Simple Usage - 1 callback per filter add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_previouspostslink', 'theme_pagination_previouspostslink_class'); add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_nextpostslink', 'theme_pagination_nextpostslink_class'); add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_page', 'theme_pagination_page_class'); function theme_pagination_previouspostslink_class($class_name) { return 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--previous'; } function theme_pagination_nextpostslink_class($class_name) { return 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--next'; } function theme_pagination_page_class($class_name) { return 'pagination__current-page'; } // More Concise Usage - 1 callback for all filters add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_previouspostslink', 'theme_pagination_class'); add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_nextpostslink', 'theme_pagination_class'); add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_page', 'theme_pagination_class'); function theme_pagination_class($class_name) { switch($class_name) { case 'previouspostslink': $class_name = 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--previous'; break; case 'nextpostslink': $class_name = 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--next'; break; case 'page': $class_name = 'pagination__current' break; } return $class_name; }
