Hi Mary,
The theme that you are using must not have implemented pagination. To implement pagination you would use the paginate_links() function and include it where ever you want the pagination to appear. Here is what I would do for your example:
Step 1: Create a pagination function in your functions.php file so you can reuse it throughout your theme. That would look something like this:
/**
* Define Pagination Args Array ( Chronological Order )
*
* Retrieve paginated link for archive post pages.
* Technically, the function can be used to create
* paginated link list for any area.
*
* @link https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/paginate_links paginate_links()
*
* @version 1.0
*/
function custom_theme_pagination() {
global $wp_query; // Get the global WPQuery variable
$big = 999999999;
$args = array(
'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ), // Used to reference the url, which will be used to create the paginated links
'format' => '?page=%#%', // Used for Pagination structure
'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages, // The total amount of pages
'current' => (get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1), // The current page number
'show_all' => false,
'end_size' => 2, // If set to true, then it will show all of the pages instead of a short list of the pages near the current page
'mid_size' => 2,
'prev_next' => true,
'prev_text' => __( '? Newer', 'theme-translate' ),
'next_text' => __( 'Older ?', 'theme-translate' ),
'type' => 'list',
'add_args' => false,
'add_fragment' => ''
);
?>
<div class="">
<?php echo paginate_links( $args ); ?>
</div>
<?php
}
Step 2: Call the custom_theme_pagination(); function whereever you want it to appear in your archive.php or other blog templates.
Hope that helps
Sunny
