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.

    […] WP Page Numbers – I guess this plugin is really well known. Instead of only having the “previous” and “next” links this plugin features page numbers. This helps a lot while navigating through pages and is much faster. […]

    I installed the WP Page Nnumber, WordPress 2.9.2.

    Theme StudioPress 1.2 by Daily Blog Tips
    Installed the plugin and nothing happened. I looked in the style sheet for ‘next_posts_link()’ and ‘previous_posts_link()’ or endwhile; and endif; in your theme. But I did not find either. I am not a coder.

    I did find #nextprevious {
    padding:10px;
    font-size:80%;
    }
    Would that be what I need to replace? I hope you can help me make this work.

    Why point people to a place for help when you won’t help them? I have the same questions but it would be a waste of my time to ask it since you aren’t answering any one else’s questions.

    Unless you’re a code monkey, the instructions are greek… Find another solution because you won’t get help… If I find some help on another blog or in google, I’ll post it…

    Hi,

    I’m trying to use this on the index.php page where I have all my post fully displayed. The numbers/links shows up the way they should but they don’t link to the corresponding pages. The URL updates but you end up on the same page as before. Any idea of why this happens? I’m using WordPress 3.0.

    Thank you in advance,

      Try this before your loop, that worked for me:

    Really nice plugin, but I have some probelm on my localhost server.
    When I activate it I get ”The plugin generated 3 characters of unexpected output during activation.
    If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”

    Everything seems ok, but when I upload an image I’m not seeing thumbnails when it finished upload. It shows only some number, prodably image id.
    Images are uploaded but it cause problem with another plugin – Simple Portfolio;/

    Got it to work instantly, except for Comments.

    I see you have your comments paginated too.
    I tried pretty much everything in comments.php but still no pagination.

    Any ideas anyone?

  • Raafi »

    great plugin. Two quick suggestions:
    a)
    try adding the rel=”next” and rel=”prev” microformats to your older and newer links — that will help auto-pagination plugins read the page.

    b)
    allow the custom CSS override to be a relative link, that way we can create our own CSS for the plugin but bundle it in with the rest of our template files. This will also help in case there’s an update to the plugin, so you won’t lose all your css modifications when updating.

    again, great work!

    I know this is a theme/CSS issue, but I’ve spent weeks trying to figure this out. One one site, when viewing with Firefox, WP Page Numbers adds extra >> characters to the page numbers, but in IE, it looks ok. http://www.dualmonitorbackground.com/
    I’ve tried everything to fix it.

    Thank you for your work.

    Can you fix the .js file or note here the line to change in order to have a W3C valid xhtml document ? To be valid, the ”&” (…&page=X) used for pages links has to be written like this: ”&” .

    Thank you.
