Pagination with WP_Query

2 Views

I have done so much research this morning and I cannot find a solution to what is potentially a big problem. I’m trying to use wordpress pagination with a custom query and can’t seem to get it working!

Here is my code, Pagination just doesn’t show at all.

<?php //Template Name: Acapellas ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main-content">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-3">
                <?php get_sidebar('primary-left'); ?>
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-9">
                <?php get_template_part( 'includes/ads', 'top' ); ?>
                <div class="post-content">
                    <h1>Free Acapellas</h1>

                    <?php if (pmpro_hasMembershipLevel(array(1,2), $user_id)) { ?>
                    <?php echo do_shortcode('[collections]'); ?>
                    <?php } ?>

                    <?php 
                    $args = array (
                            'post_type'              => array( 'acapella' ),
                            'pagination'             => true,
                            'posts_per_page'         => '12',
                            'ignore_sticky_posts'    => true,
                        );

                        // The Query
                        $query = new WP_Query( $args );

                    ?>
                    <?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) : ?>
                    <ul class="acapellas row">

                        <?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

                        <?php get_template_part( 'includes/list', 'acapella' ); ?>

                        <?php endwhile; ?>
                    </ul>

                    <?php // Previous/next page navigation.
                        the_posts_pagination( array(
                            'prev_text'          => __( 'Previous page', '' ),
                            'next_text'          => __( 'Next page', '' ),
                            'before_page_number' => '<span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">' . __( 'Page', '' ) . ' </span>',
                        ) );

                        // If no content, include the "No posts found" template.
                        else :
                            get_template_part( 'content', 'none' );

                        endif;
                        ?>

            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

  1. Just download and install wp-pagenavi plugin and then use:

    if(method_exists('wp_pagenavi')){
    wp_pagenavi(array('query' => $query));
}

    Pass your query object in wp_pagenavi method argument.

  2. i guess, you are seeking a numbered pagination for custom query, than try this article

    Kvcodes.

    here is the code. 

    function kvcodes_pagination_fn($pages = '', $range = 2){  
 $showitems = ($range * 2)+1;     // This is the items range, that we can pass it as parameter depending on your necessary. 

 global $paged;  // Global variable to catch the page counts
 if(empty($paged)) $paged = 1;

 if($pages == '') {   // paged is not defined than its first page. just assign it first page.    
     global $wp_query;
     $pages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
     if(!$pages)
        $pages = 1;
 }   

 if(1 != $pages) { //For other pages, make the pagination work on other page queries     
     echo "<div class='kvc_pagination'>";
     if($paged > 2 && $paged > $range+1 && $showitems < $pages) echo "<a href='".get_pagenum_link(1)."'>&laquo;</a>";
     if($paged > 1 && $showitems < $pages) echo "<a href='".get_pagenum_link($paged - 1)."'>&lsaquo;</a>";

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

     if ($paged < $pages && $showitems < $pages) echo "<a href='".get_pagenum_link($paged + 1)."'>&rsaquo;</a>";  
     if ($paged < $pages-1 &&  $paged+$range-1 < $pages && $showitems < $pages) echo "<a href='".get_pagenum_link($pages)."'>&raquo;</a>";
     echo "</div>n";
 }
 }

    place the function on your current theme, functions.php

    and use it on loop.php or index.php

    kvcodes_pagination_fn();

    and for the WP_Query example 

    $custom_query = new WP_Query("post_type=receipes&author=kvcodes"); 
 while ($custom_query->have_posts()) : $custom_query->the_post(); 
//  Show loop content...
endwhile; 

 kvcodes_pagination_fn($custom_query->max_num_pages);

    that’s it.
