paginate_links() doesn’t offer a parameter and there are no hooks – see source – available to change the class(es). Which means you can do it like you have done it or you create your own pagination function based on paginate_links().
You have 2 problems. First problem The line $paged = ( get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ) ? get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) : 1; will fail, because on singular post view, when the URL contains ‘/page/XX/’, the variable WordPress sets is ‘page’ and not ‘paged’. You may think to use ‘page’ instead of ‘paged’, but that will not … Read more
$wp_query->post_count is supposed to work exactly like that. To get the total number of posts that exist in the database, use $wp_query->found_posts
global $wp_query; echo $wp_query->max_num_pages; This shows the number of pages for the current query. If you want to determine the actual number of posts found by the current query, you may use $wp_query->found_posts Source:- http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
// get current page we are on. If not set we can assume we are on page 1. $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; // are we on page one? if(1 == $paged) { //true }
It’s saved in an option: $default_posts_per_page = get_option( ‘posts_per_page’ ); Reference: get_option Parameters You can see the keys and values of all available options by manually entering the admin url: /wp-admin/options.php Edit Total number of posts: global $wp_query; $total_posts = $wp_query->post_count;
You can use a filter to modify the ORDER BY statement of WP_query. That way you can manually set the query to use ORDER BY RAND($seed); Mysql RAND() accepts a seed as an optional argument. Using a seed, it will return the same randomized result set each time. So you can generate a random number … Read more
I’ve run into this problem with PageNavi before. My solution is to hijack the $wp_query variable temporarily and then reassign it after closing the loop. An exmaple: <?php $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; $args=array( ‘post_type’=>’post’, ‘cat’ => 6, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘paged’=>$paged ); $temp = $wp_query; $wp_query= null; $wp_query = new WP_Query($args); /* … Read more
Replace <!– WHAT GOES HERE?????? –> with the pagination code below: <div class=”pagination”> <?php echo paginate_links( array( ‘base’ => str_replace( 999999999, ‘%#%’, esc_url( get_pagenum_link( 999999999 ) ) ), ‘total’ => $query->max_num_pages, ‘current’ => max( 1, get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ), ‘format’ => ‘?paged=%#%’, ‘show_all’ => false, ‘type’ => ‘plain’, ‘end_size’ => 2, ‘mid_size’ => 1, ‘prev_next’ … Read more
The Problem By default, in any given context, WordPress uses the main query to determine pagination. The main query object is stored in the $wp_query global, which is also used to output the main query loop: if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); When you use a custom query, you create … Read more
