Implement
For posts pagination:
1) Open the theme files where you’d like pagination to be used. Usually this is the loop.php file. For older version of WordPress, you may need to update the index.php, archive.php and search.php files.
2) Replace your existing previous_posts_link() and next_posts_link() code block with the following:
<?php if(function_exists('wp_paginate')) {
wp_paginate();
} ?>
For comments pagination:
1) Open the theme file(s) where you’d like comments pagination to be used. Usually this is the comments.php file.
2) Replace your existing previous_comments_link() and next_comments_link() code block with the following:
<?php if(function_exists('wp_paginate_comments')) {
wp_paginate_comments();
} ?>
Configure
1) Configure the WP-SEO-Paginate settings, if necessary, from the WP-SEO-Paginate option in the Settings menu
2) The styles can be changed with the following methods:
- Add a
wp-seo-paginate.css file in your theme’s directory and place your custom CSS there
- Add your custom CSS to your theme’s
styles.css
- Modify the
wp-seo-paginate.css file in the wp-seo-paginate plugin directory
Note: The first two options will ensure that WP-SEO-Paginate updates will not overwrite your custom styles.
