First, if you want to load posts outside of the default query for the page, use WP_Query. Calling query_posts should be done only to modify parameters of the default query. The pagination issue stems from calling query_posts, you’re overwriting the page parameter (and all other parameters) by calling it in your template. If you want … Read more
Is “WP SEO” = “WordPress SEO by Yoast”? If so, the plugin has some tags for you: %%page%% – Replaced with the current page number (i.e. page 2 of 4) %%pagetotal%% – Replaced with the current page total %%pagenumber%% – Replaced with the current page number Just look at the bottom of the page wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_titles, … Read more
Instead of the loop at the bottom, use WordPress’s paginate_links(): $pagination = paginate_links(array( ‘total’ => $pages, ‘current’ => $page )); echo $pagination; You can play around with some of https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links to get the appearance the way you want. Specifically, the end_size and mid_size will help you to determine the number of page numbers that show, … Read more
This is going to be kind of hackish, but it is possible using an alternate function. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file. function wp_link_pages_titled($args=””) { $defaults = array( ‘before’ => ‘<p>’ . __(‘Pages:’), ‘after’ => ‘</p>’, ‘link_before’ => ”, ‘link_after’ => ”, ‘echo’ => 1 ); $r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults ); extract( $r, … Read more
Remove all query code from the template and just leave the default loop. In your example code you’re overwriting the query in the template, in the code you pasted in the comments, you’re running an entirely new query. These are both unnecessary when using pre_get_posts. Put your pre_get_posts code in functions.php. You don’t have to … Read more
You could use add_query_arg() and change $paged for the old query. EDIT: // This should output ‘http://example.com/?paged=no’ add_query_arg( ‘paged’, ‘no’, bloginfo(‘url’) ); Then use get_query_var() to modify the output.
As I already stated in a comment to your answer, you should never make use of query_posts Note: This function isn’t meant to be used by plugins or themes. As explained later, there are better, more performant options to alter the main query. query_posts() is overly simplistic and problematic way to modify main query of … Read more
The solution was surprisingly simple as you can see below. Thanks for your help @Sally CJ and @Tom J Nowell. <?php get_header(); ?> <!– PAGE INTRODUCTION –> <div class=”container”> <h1 class=”page_title”><?php the_archive_title(); ?></h1> </div> <!– PAGE CONTENTS –> <div class=”container”> <div class=”row”> <!– POSTS –> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) … Read more
In the template used for category archives you should have no use for new WP_Query. For all the main templates that WordPress loads itself for post archives, WordPress has already queried the correct posts, so you don’t need to query them again with WP_Query. For these templates, it’s the template’s job just to display those … Read more
I wouldn’t use WordPress’ internal function. We had a very similar question recently: How to style current page number (wp_link_pages)? I wrote a small but flexible function to replace wp_link_pages(). It is probably easier to extend this than hacking around the return value of the native function.
