Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP-PageNavi

You're using query_posts() wrong. See The Right Way To use query_posts()

Yes; read this tutorial

If you are running a multi-language plugin, you will probably want to ignore the strings in the options page. You can do that like so: <?php wp_pagenavi( array( 'options' => WP_PageNavi_Options::defaults() ) ); ?> Before 3.0.0 this was written as PageNavi_Core::$options->get_defaults(). That property was backed by the bundled SCB framework, which 3.0.0 removes, so the old form no longer works and must be updated.

Yes. The navigation text settings accept the inline SVG elements as well as everything wp_kses_post() allows, so an icon typed into the settings screen survives the save. That allow-list is the wp_pagenavi_allowed_html filter if you need to widen or narrow it.
