== Installation ==
*Install and Activate*
1. Unzip the downloaded WP-Paginate zip file
2. Upload the `wp-paginate` folder and its contents into the `wp-content/plugins/` directory of your WordPress installation
3. Activate WP-Paginate from Plugins page
*Implement*
You can now configure the location and appearance of pagination links through WP-Paginate Settings rather than edit your theme files. See the Configure section.
For posts pagination:
* Open the theme files where you'd like pagination to be used. Depending on your theme, this could be in a number of files, such as `index.php`, `archive.php`, `categories.php`, `search.php`, `tag.php`, or the `functions.php` file(s).The `twentyeleven` theme places the pagination code in `functions.php` in the `twentyeleven_content_nav()` function.
Examples:
For the `Twenty Seventeen` theme, in `index.php`, replace:
the_posts_pagination( array(
'prev_text' => twentyseventeen_get_svg( array( 'icon' => 'arrow-left' ) ) . '' . __( 'Previous page', 'twentyseventeen' ) . '',
'next_text' => '' . __( 'Next page', 'twentyseventeen' ) . '' . twentyseventeen_get_svg( array( 'icon' => 'arrow-right' ) ),
'before_page_number' => '' . __( 'Page', 'twentyseventeen' ) . ' ',
) );
With:
if(function_exists('wp_paginate')):
wp_paginate();
else :
the_posts_pagination( array(
'prev_text' => twentyseventeen_get_svg( array( 'icon' => 'arrow-left' ) ) . '' . __( 'Previous page', 'twentyseventeen' ) . '',
'next_text' => '' . __( 'Next page', 'twentyseventeen' ) . '' . twentyseventeen_get_svg( array( 'icon' => 'arrow-right' ) ),
'before_page_number' => '' . __( 'Page', 'twentyseventeen' ) . ' ',
) );
endif;
For the `Twenty Sixteen` theme, in `index.php`, replace:
the_posts_pagination( array(
'prev_text' => __( 'Previous page', 'twentysixteen' ),
'next_text' => __( 'Next page', 'twentysixteen' ),
'before_page_number' => '' . __( 'Page', 'twentysixteen' ) . ' ',
) );
With:
if(function_exists('wp_paginate')):
wp_paginate();
else :
the_posts_pagination( array(
'prev_text' => __( 'Previous page', 'twentysixteen' ),
'next_text' => __( 'Next page', 'twentysixteen' ),
'before_page_number' => '' . __( 'Page', 'twentysixteen' ) . ' ',
) );
endif;
For the `Twenty Fifteen` theme, in `index.php`, replace:
the_posts_pagination( array(
'prev_text' => __( 'Previous page', 'twentyfifteen' ),
'next_text' => __( 'Next page', 'twentyfifteen' ),
'before_page_number' => '' . __( 'Page', 'twentyfifteen' ) . ' ',
) );
With:
if(function_exists('wp_paginate')):
wp_paginate();
else :
the_posts_pagination( array(
'prev_text' => __( 'Previous page', 'twentyfifteen' ),
'next_text' => __( 'Next page', 'twentyfifteen' ),
'before_page_number' => '' . __( 'Page', 'twentyfifteen' ) . ' ',
) );
endif;
For comments pagination:
1) Open the theme file(s) where you'd like comments pagination to be used. Usually this is the `comments.php` file.
2) Replace your existing `previous_comments_link()` and `next_comments_link()` code block with the following:
*Configure*
1) Configure the WP-Paginate settings, if necessary, from the WP-Paginate option in the Settings menu
2) The styles can be changed with the following methods:
* Add a `wp-paginate.css` file in your theme's directory and place your custom CSS there
* Add your custom CSS to your theme's `styles.css`
* Modify the `wp-paginate.css` file in the wp-paginate plugin directory
*Note:* The first two options will ensure that WP-Paginate updates will not overwrite your custom styles.
*Upgrading*
To 1.1.1+:
* Update WP-Paginate settings, change `Before Markup` to `
`
* Update `wp-paginate.css`, change `.wp-paginate ol` to `.wp-paginate`
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How can I override the default pagination settings? =
The `wp_paginate()` and `wp_paginate_comments()` functions each takes one optional argument, in query string format, which allows you to override the global settings. The available options are:
* title - The text/HTML to display before the pagination links
* nextpage - The text/HTML to use for the next page link
* previouspage - The text/HTML to use for the previous page link
* before - The text/HTML to add before the pagination links and title
* after - The text/HTML to add after the pagination links
* empty - Display before markup and after markup code even when the page list is empty
* range - The number of page links to show before and after the current page
* anchor - The number of links to always show at beginning and end of pagination
* gap - The minimum number of pages before a gap is replaced with an ellipsis (...)
You can even control the current page and number of pages with:
* page - The current page. This function will automatically determine the value
* pages - The total number of pages. This function will automatically determine the value
Example (also applies to `wp_paginate_comments()`):
= How can I style the comments pagination differently than the posts pagination? =
When calling `wp_paginate_comments()`, WP-Paginate adds an extra class to the `ol` element, `wp-paginate-comments`.
