Search pagination

[John Riordan]

I reached out a little while ago and you found that there are some pagination issues with searching from the homepage.

You provided a fix which seems to work, but not work:

 //See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links
    $big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
    echo paginate_links( array(
        'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', add_query_arg( 'page_id', get_the_ID(), get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
        'format' => '?paged=%#%',
        'current' => max( 1, get_query_var( 'paged' ) ),
        'total' => $eo_event_loop->max_num_pages
    ) );

The generated pagination links are correct, but there are two issues:

1. If I am using a postname permalink structure, the ?page_id=77 is getting instantly removed on page request. Could this be an .htaccess issue?

2. If I use a default permalink structure, the first pagination link I click on works great, but while on that new page, the ampersand in the pagination links gets replaced with it’s #038; counterpart (thus not working). You can see an example of this at http://events.greatlakesbaymag.com/

This is literally the very last piece/problem to this site I’ve been working on. After this I’m launching it. I would owe you HUGE if I could get this fixed.

Thanks!

A heads up other other users – pagination with the event search shortcode on the home page seems to experience some issues. This being worked on, and this thread relates to an attempt to work-around the issue inthe mean time. The original bug relates to using the [event_search] shortcode on a page which is used as the static home page.

Hi John, I’ll send you an email after posting this – if the following doesn’t work, then I might need admin access to test things myself, but hopefully the code below will resolve it for you:

 //See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links
    $big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
    echo paginate_links( array(
        'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', add_query_arg( 'page_id', get_the_ID(), get_pagenum_link( $big, false ) ) ),
        'format' => '?paged=%#%',
        'current' => max( 1, get_query_var( 'paged' ) ),
        'total' => $eo_event_loop->max_num_pages
    ) );

The change being adding false as a second argument to get_pagenum_link().
