How to add wordpress page navigation in blog

You might have come across or you are using a blog theme that don’t have proper page navigation system in built. Like the theme that I was using earlier for my blog (changed theme for blog).

I did so using a free wordpress page navigation plugin.

In this post, I am going to show you how I have replaced older pagination with new number pagination. There is a video as well at the bottom of this post. Video will help you understand process better. So please do check out video too.

So let’s start now.

  • Now find the plugin under Settings, setup page navigation setting according to your website and save all changes you made.
  • To add new wordpress page navigation to blog, you need to add short php code in to your website code.

 
The php short-code for Easy WP Page Nav is
<?php echo easy_wp_pagenavigation(); ?>
 
You can also get this code from Easy WP Page Nav plugin installation page.
 
Now to add code in website, open your index.php file and look for default page navigation code and replace it with new php code (be careful while replacing or adding code to php file).
 
In my case the default navigation code (Pro Theme) was like this:

<div class="btn btn-style pull-left"><?php next_posts_link( '« Older Posts' ); ?></div>
<div class="btn btn-style pull-right"><?php previous_posts_link( 'Newer Posts »' ); ?></div>
