This plugin provides the wp_pagenavi() template tag which generates fancy pagination links.

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 class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>

You would replace those two lines with this:

<?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>

For multipart pages, you would look for code like this:

<?php wp_link_pages( ... ); ?>

and replace it with this:

<?php wp_pagenavi( array( 'type' => 'multipart' ) ); ?>

Go to WP-Admin -> Settings -> PageNavi for configuration.

Changing the CSS

If you need to configure the CSS style of WP-PageNavi, you can copy the pagenavi-css.css file from the plugin directory to your theme’s directory and make your modifications there. This way, you won’t lose your changes when you update the plugin.

Alternatively, you can uncheck the “Use pagenavi.css?” option from the settings page and add the styles to your theme’s style.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_extend
• wp_pagenavi_class_smaller
• wp_pagenavi_class_page
• wp_pagenavi_class_current
• wp_pagenavi_class_larger
• wp_pagenavi_class_nextpostslink
• wp_pagenavi_class_last

Filter Usage

// Simple Usage - 1 callback per filter
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_previouspostslink', 'theme_pagination_previouspostslink_class');
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_nextpostslink', 'theme_pagination_nextpostslink_class');
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_page', 'theme_pagination_page_class');

function theme_pagination_previouspostslink_class($class_name) {
  return 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--previous';
}

function theme_pagination_nextpostslink_class($class_name) {
  return 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--next';
}

function theme_pagination_page_class($class_name) {
  return 'pagination__current-page';
}


// More Concise Usage - 1 callback for all filters
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_previouspostslink', 'theme_pagination_class');
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_nextpostslink', 'theme_pagination_class');
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_page', 'theme_pagination_class');

function theme_pagination_class($class_name) {
  switch($class_name) {
    case 'previouspostslink':
      $class_name = 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--previous';
      break;
    case 'nextpostslink':
      $class_name = 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--next';
      break;
    case 'page':
      $class_name = 'pagination__current'
      break;
  }
  return $class_name;
}
