• Hi,
    I am a new blogger and I am a bit stuck with custom pagination.
    I wrote my first post but realised it was too long and decided to break it in 3 parts/pages. I used a simple page break button to do that but I would like to change Page 1,2,3 to Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 (and instead of just a number for current page, I would it to actually say a word “part” and page number)
    I downloaded and activated WP-pagenavi plugin but after reading a lot of online information I am still confuse what to do next. Can you please explain for a dummy like me how to actually use the plugin in kale theme? which file do I have to open in FTP panel and what and where to type to change the default pagination to WP-pagenavi or other plugin (if pagenavi doesn’t work for me)?

    thank you

  • Hi there,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us and sorry about the delay in response.

    You don’t need any plugin for this. Please open wp-content/themes/kale/page.php file and replace this line:

    <div class="page-content"><?php the_content(); ?></div>

    with this code:

    <div class="page-content"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
    
    <?php wp_link_pages(array(
        'before' => '<p>',
        'after' => '</p>',
        'link_before' => __( 'Part ', 'kale' )
    )); ?>

    Kind regards

    Hi,
    thank you for reply.
    I’ve done what you suggested above but nothing seems to get changed. it still shows as Page 1, 2,3

    <!– Page Content –>
    <div id=”page-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(‘entry entry-page’); ?>>

    <?php if($kale_pages_featured_image_show == ‘Default’ && has_post_thumbnail()) { ?>
    <div class=”entry-thumb”><?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘full’, array( ‘alt’ => get_the_title(), ‘class’=>’img-responsive’ ) ); ?></div>
    <?php } ?>

    <?php if($kale_pages_featured_image_show != ‘Banner’) { ?>
    <?php $title = get_the_title(); ?>
    <?php if($title == ”) { ?>
    <h1 class=”entry-title”><?php esc_html_e(‘Page ID: ‘, ‘kale’); the_ID(); ?></h1>
    <?php } else { ?>
    <h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
    <?php } ?>
    <?php } ?>

    <div class=”page-content”><?php the_content(); ?></div>

    <?php wp_link_pages(array(
    ‘before’ => ‘<p>’,
    ‘after’ => ‘</p>’,
    ‘link_before’ => __( ‘Part ‘, ‘kale’ )
    )); ?>

    </div>
    <!– /Page Content –>

    @firenda Please edit single.php.

    Change this line:

    <div class="single-content"><?php the_content(); wp_link_pages(); ?></div>

    to:

    <div class="single-content">
    <?php the_content(); 
    wp_link_pages(array(
        'before' => '<p>',
        'after' => '</p>',
        'link_before' => __( 'Part ', 'kale' )
    )); ?>
    </div>

    Thank you, that has worked for post. Can I also change word “Page” to “Part” on the blog page under post summary?

    You need to open wp-content/themes/kale/parts/entry.php file and replace these lines:

    <div class="entry-summary"><?php the_content(); ?><?php wp_link_pages(); ?></div>
            <?php } else { ?>
            <div class="entry-summary"><?php the_excerpt(); ?><?php wp_link_pages(); ?></div>

    with this:

    <div class="entry-summary"><?php the_content(); ?><?php wp_link_pages(array(
    		        'before' => '<p>',
    		        'after' => '</p>',
    		        'link_before' => __( 'Part ', 'kale' )
    	        )); ?></div>
            <?php } else { ?>
            <div class="entry-summary"><?php the_excerpt(); ?><?php wp_link_pages(array(
    		        'before' => '<p>',
    		        'after' => '</p>',
    		        'link_before' => __( 'Part ', 'kale' )
    	        )); ?></div>

    Hope that helps.

    Hi @firenda,

    I’m not sure if it was an issue when you pasted the code here but all your single-quotes are wrong. It’s a small difference but you should use ' sign instead of . Same happens with your double-quote. Use this " instead of this .

    If you need further assistance contact us at this form https://www.lyrathemes.com/support/ where we can share more information regarding your particular case.

    Please, let me know if you need any further assistance.
    Kind regards,
