The easiest method I found to add a good pagination:
1. Install WP-PageNavi plugin.
2. In the template file, the loop should be like this:
<?php // The Query, $the_query = new WP_Query( 'category_name=blog&paged='.$paged ); // The Loop which loops through all the posts of category while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?> <?php the_content(); ?> <? endwhile; //call wp-pagenavi plugin wp_pagenavi( array('query' =>$the_query )); // Reset Post Data wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
3. Change how many posts do you want to display per page in the admin, Settigs/Reading/Blog pages show at most.
That’s it, very easy to implement.
