Some days ago, Frank wrote a post about Custom Pagination without WordPress Plugins. Jay comment, that something like this already exists (since Version 2.1). We don’t know everything. 😉
How do you get it in your template? The best is, if you have a function, which you can use in several templates.
function my_paginate_links() {
global $wp_rewrite, $wp_query;
$wp_query->query_vars['paged'] > 1 ? $current = $wp_query->query_vars['paged'] : $current = 1;
$pagination = array(
'base' => @add_query_arg('page','%#%'),
'format' => '',
'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
'current' => $current,
'prev_text' => __('« Previous'),
'next_text' => __('Next »'),
'end_size' => 1,
'mid_size' => 2,
'show_all' => true,
'type' => 'list'
);
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() )
$pagination['base'] = user_trailingslashit( trailingslashit( remove_query_arg( 's', get_pagenum_link( 1 ) ) ) . 'page/%#%/', 'paged' );
if ( !empty( $wp_query->query_vars['s'] ) )
$pagination['add_args'] = array( 's' => get_query_var( 's' ) );
echo paginate_links( $pagination );
}
In your template only my_paginate_links() will be called. And this is how the output looks like, of course you can adjust it to your liking:

Hi, good article but it seems not working. The pagination is showen on my test blog but it doesn’t change the page
the URL published is localhost/index.php?page=2 but it doesn’t work
any clue? thx
You know, Paolo, posting links to localhost won’t help much – especially without any added code.
You’re right Cilice but I used exactly the code below in my functions.php and index.php page
I can’t explain much more about the problem… how can I check if something else is wrong? The code posted in this article works for you without any other setting?
thanks
I found the problem…
the line
# ‘base’ => @add_query_arg(‘page’,’%#%’),
should be
# ‘base’ => @add_query_arg(‘paged’,’%#%’),
this way all works fine
cheers Paolo 😉
i´ll try it now 🙂
Any idea what the $arg options
‘end_size’ => 1,
‘mid_size’ => 2,
Do?
reference 😉

Thanks,
Some how i missed that…
I was expecting a nice list detailing each parameter…got in the habit of reading the codex that way. It was in the paragraph.
😛
Hey all,
I’ve worked on this function a little I made it work with pretty URLs as well as ‘ugly’ URLs without needing to change the code! 🙂

@Paul: great, thanks for sharing
Nice work, but ther’s one problem in the search…
When i input text in the search field, for example “music rock”, are generated pages with the articles and is generated as the first: mydomain .com/url?s=music+rock
at this point if I click on the second page, is generated this link instead: mydomain .com/page/2/url?s=musicrock
and give me an error, because the “+” is missing and the words are combined….
Have anyone a nice solution for this?
Sorry for my bad eng 🙂
