How to fix pagination - $wp_query->max_num_pages

Hi there,

How are you changing the loop to show a different number of posts as of right now? Can you share your code?

Let me know :)

this is what I have so far:

function themeprefix_change_posts_per_page( &$query ) {
	
    if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() || ! function_exists( 'generate_blog_get_defaults' ) )
        return $query;
	
	// get GeneratePress blog defaults
	$settings = wp_parse_args(get_option('generate_blog_settings', array()), generate_blog_get_defaults());
	
	// only proceed if "featured_column"
	if ( $settings['featured_column'] ) {
		
		// 1st page
		if ( ! $query->is_paged )
			return $query;
		
		$page = $query->query_vars['paged'];
		
		$nums = 9;
		$diff = get_option( 'posts_per_page' ) - $nums;	
		//$offs = ( $query->query_vars['paged'] - 1 ) * $nums + $diff;	// offset to correct for diference
		$offs = ( $page - 1 ) * $nums + $diff;	// offset to correct for diference
		
		$query->set( 'posts_per_page', $nums );
		$query->set( 'offset', $offs );
		
	}
	
    return $query;
};
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'themeprefix_change_posts_per_page', 1 );

function themeprefix_set_column_count() {
	
	// get GeneratePress blog defaults
	$settings = wp_parse_args(get_option('generate_blog_settings', array()), generate_blog_get_defaults());
	$count    = $settings['columns'];
	
	if ( ( is_home() || is_archive() ) && get_query_var( 'paged' ) > 0 )
		$count =  floor(100 / 3);

    return $count;
}
add_filter( 'generate_blog_get_column_count', 'themeprefix_set_column_count' );

Out of curiously, what would you add to genesis_after_endwhile to fix this?

had to change the archive and index files so it would take that after_endwhile code - if changing the number of posts after the first page to e.g. 6 posts on the first and 9 posts on the following pages, the pagination needs to be fixed:

the following code seems to work:

unction themeprefix_fix_posts_nav() {
	
	global $wp_query;
	
	$posts_on_1st = get_option( 'posts_per_page' );	// number of posts on 1st page
	$posts_on_2nd = 9;								// number of posts on 2nd page and the following pages
	
	//echo 'posts: ' . $wp_query->found_posts;
	
	$max = ceil ( ( $wp_query->found_posts - $posts_on_1st ) / $posts_on_2nd ) + 1;
		
	$wp_query->max_num_pages = $max;
}
add_filter( 'generate_after_endwhile', 'themeprefix_fix_posts_nav', 5 );

Just to confirm, where did you add the generate_after_endwhile hook? Would be happy to add that hook to the theme I think :)

Hi,
just after the endwhile; and before generate_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); like: do_action( 'generate_after_endwhile' );

only added it in the index.php and archive.php file so far

I've added generate_after_loop in GP 2.3: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/commit/924e41868400e20d1fb1159709b701bb43ecb355

Thanks!

great, thanks

No problem - thanks for the suggestion :)
