[Support request] previous/next instead of numbers on blog archive pages?

[Ryan]

Is there a way to on blog archive pages, change the pagination links on the bottom from listing page numbers, and have it just say “previous” and “next”?
Thank you.

Hi Ryan,

By default, there should be Previous and Next buttons for the Blog page.

For reference, can you provide the link to your Blog page?

You may use the Private Information field for this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-premium-support-forum/#private-information

See how it says page 1 of 662 at the end of each page? How can I get it to say next and previous page? Url is below. Thanks

This is what I’m seeing: https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAuogA8r

This is page 2.

Are you seeing the same thing?

[Ryan]

Yes i am seeing the same thing. I do not want it to display those page numbers. I definitely don’t want it to show page 662. Would like to just say next page or list recent pages, but not the very last page from years ago

[Fernando]

I see. Try adding this through Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

.nav-links :is(.page-numbers,.current):not(.next,.prev) {
    display: none;
}

But I would like them to display, I just dont wamt to go as far back as the very last page number.if it could say, previous, 2, 3, 4… next or similar, just without a link to page 662.

[Fernando]

I see. Try this instead:

.nav-links :is(.page-numbers:nth-last-child(2),.dots) {
    display: none;
}

[Ryan]

Thank you. But is there a way to hide it with a PHP function of some sort? I don’t want the link to page 662 to be visible, even to search engine spiders. Problem is, crawlers will still see the link to the very last, oldest page and I don’t want to make it seem like I am deceptively hiding the link…

How can I get it to say next and previous page?

The simplest way is to create a block element – post navigation.
