Bug: Pagination bar shows wrong page # highlighted

There’s no console (JS) errors.

I’m sorry, but I can’t reproduce this. Can you post a link to a page that shows the issue?

Thanks for your reply Stephen. First seen at https://onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca/insideit/page/2/

To get the pagination bar to show, I’ve set Dashbaord > Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most = 1 (or 2, or 3). No widgets, no other config.

I’ve reproduced it on a clean, newly-created blog (we’re on multisite) in IE, Chrome, and Firefox. https://onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca/2016feb15-1140/

I’ve also tested with all (including multisite) plugins disabled.

The problem persists with a minimal .htaccess & wp-config.php

Okay, I was able to reproduce it. Looks like the theme is checking for the wrong page query; it works correctly only if we’re using a static front page.

For now, you could fix it by removing lines 1449-1451 from includes/template-tags.php:

if( is_front_page() ) {
  $current_page = ( get_query_var( 'page' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'page' ) : 1;
}

Make sure to inform your theme’s author of the issue so it can be fixed in a future update.

Thanks a ton for reproducing this, Stephen. I’ve posted a message to ThemeKraft.

Here’s ThemeKraft’s reponse:
—
I’m sorry, I got stuck with the theme. The developer before me wrote such a complex code that every change is a nightmare. There are so many issues, that I decided to stop developing the custom community theme. I can not make a living from it at all and it’s a never ending story.

I will try to find a developer in the next days and weeks, who is willing to continue the development. There must be someone who wants to take it over. It has a great reputation and with over 600000 downloads I’m hopefull to find someone. But for now the theme is not under active development anymore.

I’m really sorry for the situation but I am not able to spent more time on the theme.

Greetings,
Sven
