Hi all – first timer on this thing!
Before I updated my WordPress and Newspaper files a couple of days ago, my site (www.maxmynorm.com) had buttons which navigated easily to the NEXT or PREVIOUS pages on each of my site’s articles.
After the updates, these buttons are now quite basic, but my biggest concern is that they are positioned quite close to the Adsense ad blocks on each page, and I know that Google are very sensitive about this sort of issue as they heavily penalise blog site owners if they think they are trying to force accidental clicks, and I definitely don’t want to do that!
I’m not a techie by any means, and I don’t understand coding issues, but I’m hoping someone can help me with a simple solution to make my buttons clearer, or at least insert more space between the buttons and the ad block.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Hello maxmynorm,
Please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area, lie this: http://screencast.com/t/2MWqrLhSY1
.page-nav:first-child > div {
margin-right:20px;
}
.page-nav-post a {
margin-right:20px;
}
.page-nav.page-nav-post {
margin-top:30px;
}
You can adjust these values as you wish.
The result you should see here: http://screencast.com/t/mYzT2rj3
If is not what you mean, please provide more details.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi Catalin – thanks for the quick reply.
The example shown on the screencast link you gave looks the same as the buttons I already have.
What I’m really after is something like the posts on this example – http://yourlifemax.com/featured/top-7-xmas-costumes-for-your-pooch/2/
Is this something you can help with?
Hello maxmynorm,
To achieve a similar pagination you will need lots of customizations in theme’s core files and I can’t provide a quick solution now. You can use this example to customize the pagination on posts by adding this parameter: ‘next_or_number’ => ‘next’, here: http://screencast.com/t/hkqJljKyxr3 (remove this code if you want: http://screencast.com/t/87kGUcin5YQN – result: http://screencast.com/t/8THEIGR5) If you do not remove of this, will have this pagination -> Previous page 1,2,3,4,5 Next page
After this changes, it is neccesary to do some customization, like this: http://screencast.com/t/gfJn7ZEt
If you want a different implementation for pagination and you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ to do this for you.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
