Pagination displaying more pages than exist

  • Hey all,

    I have created a simple theme using Twitter Bootstrap and am running into a couple issues with pagination.

    Issue 1
    In every instance pagination shows up, it displays more pages than actually exist. Here are a few instances that I’m referring to:

    You get the idea.

    Issue 2
    Pagination disappears on the last page of the content. Example: https://www.beerbitty.com/recipes/condiments/page/2/. Pagination is present on page 1, but disappears on page 2.

    Code
    Here’s what I have going on in my functions file:

    function bootstrap_pagination($pages = '', $range = 2)
{
$showitems = ($range * 2)+1;

global $paged;
if(empty($paged)) $paged = 1;

if($pages == '')
{
global $wp_query;
$pages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
if(!$pages)
{
$pages = 1;
}
}

if(1 != $pages)
{
echo "<ul class='pagination pagination-centered'>";
    /**	Previous Post Link */
	if ( get_previous_posts_link() )
		printf( '<li>%s</li>' . "\n", get_previous_posts_link() );

for ($i=1; $i <= $pages; $i++)
{
if (1 != $pages &&( !($i >= $paged+$range+1 || $i <= $paged-$range-1) || $pages <= $showitems ))
{
echo ($paged == $i)? "<li class='active'><span class='current'>".$i."</span></li>":"<li><a href='".get_pagenum_link($i)."' class='inactive' >".$i."</a></li>";
}
}

/**    Next Post Link */
	if ( get_next_posts_link() )
		printf( '<li>%s</li>' . "\n", get_next_posts_link() );
echo "</ul>\n";
}
}

add_theme_support('html5', array('search-form'));

if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
	add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');
}

    And here’s what my template file looks like:

    <?php /*
Template Name: Category

<?php get_header(); ?>

          $off = ($paged > 1) ? ($qry['total'] * ($paged - 1)) : 0;
          global $more;

    Other notes

    • I’ve adjusted the “Blog pages show at most” option in the Reading settings to 6.
    • I’ve spent a lot of time searching for ways to solve these problems, but haven’t been able to find a solution.
    • My PHP knowledge is pretty weak…
    • I’m really stuck!

    Thanks in advance for your help!!!
