About this plugin
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.
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:
></div>
You would replace those two lines with this:
>
For multipart pages, you would look for code like this:
php wp_link_pages(... >
and replace it with this:
>
Go to WP-Admin -> Settings -> PageNavi for configuration.
Changing the CSS
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; }
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_page
- wp_pagenavi_class_current
- wp_pagenavi_class_larger
- wp_pagenavi_class_nextpostslink
- wp_pagenavi_class_last
