Quick Tip: How to Add Numbered Pagination to WordPress

For navigating comparison posts, by default WordPress uses subsequent and prior links that are ok though usually concede we to go behind one page during a time. If we would like to know how to supplement numbered pagination to WordPress like we use here on WPLift we can do so regulating a paginate_links function.

This is unequivocally easy to do and will urge a demeanour of your thesis while creation it some-more user friendly, so lets see how to use it.

Add this formula to your theme’s functions.php record :

// Numbered Pagination
function wplift_pagination() 
	global $wp_query;
		$big = 999999999; // need an doubtful integer
			echo paginate_links( array(
			'base' = str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
			'format' = '?paged=%#%',
			'current' = max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
			'total' = $wp_query-max_num_pages
		) );

Then where we wish a pagination to appear, for instance on archives.php, index.php etc we place this formula :

?php wplift_pagination(); ?

Now we need to character a ensuing code, here is what we use in my Blogly theme, we need to supplement this to style.css in your thesis folder:

/* Pagination */
.page_nav .page-numbers
 background:
	color:
	display:block;
	width:auto;
	float:left;
	margin: 4px 4px 4px 0;
	padding:15px 18px 14px 18px;
	text-decoration:none;


.page_nav .page-numbers:hover
	background: 
	color:
	text-decoration: none;


.page_nav .current
 background: 
	color:
 padding:15px 18px 14px 18px;
