Pagination Functionality to WordPress Without a Plugin
This snippet will enable you create page-pagination functionality without using a plugin, by hooking into WordPress built-in function, paginate_links()
<?php global $wp_query; $total = $wp_query->max_num_pages; // only bother with the rest if you have more than 1 page! if ( $total > 1 ) { // get the current page if ( !$current_page = get_query_var('paged')) $current_page = 1; // structure of "format" depends on whether we're using pretty permalinks $format = empty( get_option('permalink_structure') ) ? '&page=%#%' : 'page/%#%/'; echo paginate_links(array( 'base' => get_pagenum_link(1) . '%_%', 'format' => $format, 'current' => $current_page, 'total' => $total, 'mid_size' => 4, 'type' => 'list' ) ); } ?>
