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. 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 pagenavi-css.css file from the plugin directory to your theme’s directory and make your modifications there. This way, you won’t lose your changes when you update the plugin. Alternatively, you can uncheck the “Use pagenavi.css?” option from 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.
