Paging Navigation (with Page Number) Plug-in for Darklight Wordpress theme.

Posted by jigneshdodiya on June 6th, 2008 filed in Utilites, Website




For the Darklight Wordpress theme, I haven’t found anybody using Navigation bar at the bottom of the page. But I wanted to put navigation to handle large number of Posts.

After some research I found one widget Wordpress Page Number.

Thanks to Jens Tornell  who made this 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.

All the 5 themes are included from start and are available in admin. You can also check it as a live demo at the bottom of my blog or in archieve.

Options with the Widget

• 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.






How to Install
• Download the Wordpress Page Number Plug-in here.
• Upload the FOLDER ‘wp-page-numbers’ to the /wp-content/plugins/.
• Activate the plugin ‘WP Page Numbers’ through the ‘Plugins’ menu in admin.
• Go to ‘Options’ or ‘Settings’ and then ‘WP Page Numbers’ to change the options.

Need to Do following changes in php file

Replace the the ‘next_posts_link()’ and ‘previous_posts_link()’ with the code below in theme (archive.php, index.php or search.php).

<?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.
