You could use paginate_links()
to paginate the total gallery. This highly depends on your permalink settings. The best would be to check other answers on that topic here on WPSE.
Next/Prev post links for attachments.
Than there’s also the task to navigate on single attachment display.
Default API function/template tag
There’s the adjacent_post_link()
function that can link to the next or previous post – an attachment is a post of the type “attachment”. It echos the output filtered by
apply_filters( "{$adjacent}_post_link", $format, $link );
where $adjacent
is previous
or next
.
Example
adjacent_post_link(
'%link' // format
,'%date/%title' // link
,false // in_same_cat
,'' // excluded_categories
,false // next/previous (previous = true)
);
Inner Details
If the post title of the attachment is empty, it gets replaced by a “Previous/Next Post” text. This title then has all the_title
filter callback functions attached. You’d need to remove them if you don’t want this:
function wpse66660_attachment_remove_title_cbs( $title, $id )
{
is_attachment() AND remove_all_filters( current_filter() );
return $title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'wpse66660_attachment_remove_title_cbs', 100, 2 );
Tags
As you’ve seen above ↑, there’re three “tags”, that you can use: %link
, %date
and %title
.
The output of the function would be something like the following:
'<a href="'.get_permalink($post).'" rel="prev/next">' . $link . '</a>'
Now %title
gets replaced by the post title and %date
replaced by the post date. This allows you to add any custom value to the HTML-anchor tag.
The %link
allows you to replace everything that is in the final string (HTML-anchor + link + rel + value) with something custom that aligns with your permalink settings.
