[Plugin: pagebar] WAY too many database hits!

Using the new version of pagebar added over 100 database hits (queries) to every page on my site, including those that didn’t incorporate the pagebar!

If you need a replacement, try adding this to your functions.php file: (Tweak it if necessary) – call the function using my_pagebar();

// ========= My Pagebar Replacement Function

function my_pagebar() {
global $paged;
global $ppp;
global $search_results;

if (empty($ppp)) { $ppp = 12; };
$num_pages = ceil($search_results/$ppp);
if ($num_pages > 1) {
	$current_search_link = 'https://'.$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
	$add_page = "/page/";
	if ($paged) {
		$current_search_link = preg_replace('#\d+$#', '', $current_search_link);
		$add_page = "";
	}
	$mypagebar = '<div class="pagebar">Pages:&nbsp;';
	if ($paged == 0) { $paged = 1; }
	$x = 1;
	while ( $x <= $num_pages ) {
		$y = $paged - 2;
		$z = $paged + 2;
		if ( $x == $paged ) {
			$mypagebar .= "<span class=\"this-page\">$x</span> ";
		} elseif ( ($x < 4) || (($num_pages - 3) < $x) || ($x >= $y && $x <= $z) ) {
			$mypagebar .= "<a href=\"{$current_search_link}{$add_page}{$x}\" title=\"Page $x\">$x</a> ";
		} elseif (($x < $paged) && ($did_the_b4 != 1)) {
			$mypagebar .= " ... ";
			$did_the_b4 = 1;
		} elseif (($x > $paged) && ($did_the_aft != 1)) {
			$mypagebar .= " ... ";
			$did_the_aft = 1;
		}
		$x++;
	}
	$mypagebar .= "</div>";
}
echo $mypagebar;
