WP Page Numbers

2008-03-29 @ 18:44

Uppdaterad: 2010-01-07

Version 0.5 released. Mostly bug fixes.

I made a paging navigation plugin for WordPress that will be an alternative to the ”Next page” and ”Previous page”. Instead it uses numbers which makes it easier for users to choose what page to go to. It also makes a tighter internal link structure which makes it easier for search engines to find your posts.

Info and download

Themes to choose from

WP Page Numbers themes

All the 5 themes are included from start and are available in admin.

Screenshot

This is what it looks like if you don’t change anything (default paging theme):

Paging

You can also try it out as a live demo at the bottom of my blog.

Options

  • You can set all the texts and arrows to what ever you want
  • You can limit the number of pages shown at the time
  • You can create paging stylesheets themes (if you don’t want to overwrite the default theme)
  • You can turn off the stylesheet
  • You can turn off the page information (page 3 of 5)
  • You can turn off the page numbers
  • You can turn off the first and end page numbers
  • You can turn off the arrows

Updates 0.3 – 0.5

  • Fixed bug with page numbers disappearing
  • Added optional start and end code link wp_page_numbers($start, $end)
  • Changed get_blog_info(url) to get_blog_info(wpurl)
  • Changed get_settings (deprecated) to get_blog_info (bugfix)
  • Added missing echos, which should fix the URLs to the preview images in admin
  • Fixed 0 … 1 problem by checking if the page is front page or archive

Updates 0.2

  • Put some ”reset”-code into the themes stylesheet to make the navigation bar look correct in all themes
  • 5 WP Page Numbers themes to choose from
  • Some layout changes in admin

Install

  1. Upload the FOLDER ‘wp-page-numbers’ to the /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin ‘WP Page Numbers’ through the ‘Plugins’ menu in admin
  3. Go to ‘Options’ or ‘Settings’ and then ‘WP Page Numbers’ to change the options

Usage

  1. Replace the the ‘next_posts_link()’ and ‘previous_posts_link()’ with the code below in theme (archive.php, index.php or search.php). If you can’t find it, place it between endwhile; and endif; in your theme.
  2. <?php if(function_exists('wp_page_numbers')) { wp_page_numbers(); } ?>

Advanced usage

This plugin uses only WordPress own string values, no own SQL-querys is written. That means that you can use this plugin for more advanced use.

Example: You have a page which contains the query_posts() function and a loop to get some posts into the page. In that case you can use WP Page Numbers (see usage). If the posts are less than what is set in admin, the navigation will be hidden.

Contribution from users

Known issues

  • WP Page Numbers count wrong sometimes – Very high priority
  • Odd permalink structure makes the page numbers link wrong – High priority

Suggested features

These features could be included in future versions of WP Page Numbers.

  • Option to center the page numbers – Normal priority
  • Change the containing ID to an containing class to make the page validate with multiple page number sets – High priority
  • Localizable WP Page Numbers for different languages – High priority

Bug report

If you have found a bug I want to know about it so I can fix it.

  • Tell me your plugin version, WordPress version and what browser you use.
  • If you suspect a collision with another plugin, tell me what plugin you suspect, or a list with suspected plugins
  • Have you tested this plugin on another WordPress-version and can confirm that it works? Let me know!

Contribute

The best way to contribute is to spread the word, link to this page, blog about WP Page Numbers or give me feedback. All kinds of feedback are helpful to me. Suggestions and bug report are also welcome.

    Hi there,

    Great plugin. Would it be possible though to have it say something (optional) on the last page other than ”page x of x”? Something like: ”page x of X : Last page” ? And disable the link for the same page? (if on page 2, disable the ”2” link?) This may sound trivial but for usability it would be better, I think. At least it would look neater and for high-traffic blogs it would limit unneccessary page requests as users will click anything clickable.

    Hej!
    Jag satt och gjorde ett lite tema till ditt plugin. Jag har gjort så navigationen läggs centerat i en div. Detta har jag dock bara testat på FF 3.5 och IE 8 så jag vet inte hur det fungerar på tidigare webbläsare. Men jag har aktiverat det på min blog (http://jotaprojects.se/blog) längst ner. Finns att ladda ner på följande adress http://www.mediafire.com/file/nildnrmmuuj/grey_box.rar

    – Louie Navarro – how come the stylesheet doesn’t work. it just appear like this:

    You should try different permission-setting for the plugin-files, i.e. go to your wordpress-installation on your server and change permissions for files and folders. For me it helped.

    Thanks for this plugin, it’s great and I use it a lot.

    For everyone who’d like to make their pages validate even with multiple renderings of the page numbers: Edit the wp-page-numbers.php file of the plugin at line 203. Simply replace ”id” with ”class”.

    I have multiple loops in my site each on different pages. Your plugin works wonderfully in the main loop. However, it is not working in the secondary loop (which is including a specific category that is excluded from the main loop). I am using 0.5 version of the plug in and am using wordpress 2.8.4.

    • Greg Thomson »
      2009-10-02 @ 23:49

      I have found that it won’t work because the page is named news. Is there a way to add a page named news to the function. I have been digging around and only found mention of specific page names in the section adding the stylesheet. Is there additional places I should add news? Will I need to add it somewhere within wordpress core?

      Hi, Thanks for a super plugin. Makes page navigations sooooooo much better.
      I was looking to see if I could reverse the page numbers so that chronologically the most recent post would be on the last page number (but still displayed by WP as the first post ) and then going to previous would desiplay earlier posts etc so that page 1 would show earliest post.
      Just a suggestion for future versions.

      Thanks agaian.

    I installed wp_page-numbers version 0.5 on WordPress 2.8.4, and it seemed to create a conflict with the K2 Theme. Blog Pages no longer call my theme’s style sheet. The main blog itself is still fine, but the stand alone pages now call your plugin’s style sheet instead of the main style sheet. I uninstalled your plugin, but things remain broken. Even after the plugin is uninstalled, the pages still call your style sheet instead of my theme’s style sheet. I think there is a problem with your plugin, I am sorry to say. http://www.circletreestudio.com/blog/

    For version 0.5, nothing appear when upgraded. I’m using WP 2.8.4.

    Switch back to previous version of Page Number, the pagination menu appear incorrectly with this: ”1 … …0”

    The odd thing is on the dev site (same theme & setting), the old version (0.2) display correctly… So, I think it might be due to the WP database?

    I’m using wp 2.8.4 + WP Page Numbers 0.5 at http//gotpowered.com
    but when I’m taking 2nd+ page (non first) – wp writes 404 – page not found
    also noticed that http://gotpowered.com/page/1 works – at least 404 wasn’t returned …
    I’ve been searching for solution for few days and did not found any reason. What do you think ? is it plugin reason or wp bug itself … anyway .. any help is good .. maybe someone meet same problem?
