WordPress calling SEO Pager Enhanced Pagination

Rating: 0.0/5 (0 votes cast)

WordPress provides good navigation links to our content, but at Dicelock Security Blog we wanted our viewers to be able to browse our blog in a way that they could arrive to all the information we provide.
We found that the format “Previous”, “Next” options could be expanded, and we did it through the SEO Pager plugin …

Applies to:

WordPress 2.8
Atahualpa 3.2 and other themes
SEO Pager

SEO Pager is s plugin that allows to make sure that if a viewer goes to a category page, it can reach all underlying pages without any trouble as Search Engine do. Otherwise, if we have a lot of posts in a category, the viewer might have to go back 10 pages before being able to find the link to one of our earlier posts.

And an important point is that it allows for easy indexing because the bots can access more pages from the page they are indexing.

At Atahualpa theme we found that the better place was under Next/Previous PAGE Links that is located in the file index.php of atahualpa folder.

file: index.php
lines: 280 – 308 (about)

	<?php			
	// Next/Previous PAGE Links (on multi post pages) 
	// in next_posts_link "next" means older 
	if ( !is_single() AND !is_page() AND strpos($bfa_ata_location_multi_next_prev,'Bottom')!==false AND show_posts_nav() ) {
		if (function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { 
			echo '<div class="wp-pagenavi-navigation">'; wp_pagenavi(); echo '</div>'; 
		} else { 
			echo '<div class="navigation-bottom">
			<div class="older' . $nav_home_add . '">'; 
			$bfa_ata_next_prev_orientation == 'Older Left, Newer Right' ? 
			next_posts_link(bfa_escape($bfa_ata_multi_next_prev_older)) : 
			previous_posts_link(bfa_escape($bfa_ata_multi_next_prev_newer)); 
			echo ' &nbsp;</div>' . $nav_home_div . '<div class="newer' . $nav_home_add . '">&nbsp; ';
			$bfa_ata_next_prev_orientation == 'Older Left, Newer Right' ? 
			previous_posts_link(bfa_escape($bfa_ata_multi_next_prev_newer)) : 
			next_posts_link(bfa_escape($bfa_ata_multi_next_prev_older)); 
			echo '</div>
			<div style="clear:both"></div>
			</div>'; 
		} 
		echo '<div align="center">';
		echo '<div class="navigation">';
			if (function_exists('SEO_pager'))
		    		SEO_pager(" "," "," ","« Previous page","Next Page »","strong");
			else
				echo 'Fix Pager';
		echo '</div>';
		echo '</div>';
	} ?>

The important code to make the call is:

echo '<div align="center">';
echo '<div class="navigation">';
	if (function_exists('SEO_pager'))
    		SEO_pager(" "," "," ","« Previous page","Next Page »","strong");
	else
		echo 'Fix Pager';
echo '</div>';
echo '</div>';

And what we get is that at the bottom of the page the viewer can found the following links:
