985Customising Pagination in WordPress

Getting and Customising Pagination:

function getPagination() {
  global $wp_query;
  $a = paginate_links(array(
    'current' => max(1, get_query_var('paged')),
    'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
    'type' => 'array',
    'aria_current' => false,
    'show_all' => true,
    'end_size' => 2,
    'mid_size' => 2,
    'prev_next' => true,
    'prev_text' => '<div class="pg_arrow left"></div>',
    'next_text' => '<div class="pg_arrow right"></div>',
  ));
  if (empty($a)) return false;
  foreach($a as &$l) {
    $l = str_replace('prev page-numbers', 'pg_item', $l);
    $l = str_replace('next page-numbers', 'pg_item', $l);
    $l = str_replace('page-numbers', 'pg_item pg_num', $l);
    $l = str_replace(' aria-current=""', '', $l);
    $l = str_replace('span', 'a', $l);
    $l = str_replace('current', 'active', $l);
  }
  return $a;
}

Calling:

if spaces are needed in front

foreach(getPagination() as $p) {
  echo "   " . $p . "\n";
}

no spaces

echo implode("\n", getPagination());
