How to use Pagenavi plugin?

  • I have installed the 2.2 version of the plugin Pagenavi, and everything seems to be in order. It’s activated, and the control panel shows up under options. Okay, here’s where I feel dumb:

    How do I use it? I can’t seem to make any headway with it. How do I actually “place” the navigation bar in my documents? What am I missing? I’ve come a long way with my server-installed WP, but I’m extremely right-brained, and it isn’t easy. So type slowly.

    It’s still me. I see from further searching that the results I’m seeking should be automatic after a proper installation. In my case, I don’t see anything happening. Is it a matter of theme, maybe?

    Unless your theme is coded to use this plugin, you have to add some code to “footer.php”.

    This is taken right from the documentation files that come inside the plugin folder;

    1. Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/footer.php

    2. Add Anywhere:

    <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>

    3. Go to ‘WP-Admin -> Options -> PageNavi’ to configure WP-PageNavi.

    4. If you need to configure the CSS style of WP-PageNavi, open and edit:

    /wp-content/plugins/pagenavi/pagenavi-css.css

    Thanks for the answer. However, I have done this, to the best of my understanding–and it’s not that complicated. Still, I simply am not seeing anything at all on the pages. I hate to sound like a total dummy, but how do I know I’m configuring the page correctly? Can someone give me an example of the values I should be entering?

    I see what’s happening. I am using a theme with the sidebar at the bottom. The page links are waaaaay down at the bottom of the entire page instead at the bottom of my posts. I really don’t have a clue what to do about this.

    I want the same structure that so many of the theme samples have, in the dummy post at the bottom with “three links and three pages.”

    Suggestions appreciated.
