How to remove Pagination truncation

Would you like to remove the pagination truncation from paginated Envira galleries? If you’re not sure what the truncation is, this is the dots that appear in between the page numbers instead of listing all the page numbers. If you’d like to remove those, we can help walk you through how to do that!

This tutorial is a bit more technical than our other docs, but we’ll walk you through the process step by step. In order to remove the pagination truncation and replace it with a total page count, we’ll need to create and upload a basic WordPress plugin.

Creating the Plugin
Activate the Plugin

Creating the Plugin

We’ll begin by creating a custom plugin. Just add the following code to a new file at wp-content/plugins/envira-remove-pagination-truncation.php.

<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: Envira Gallery - Remove pagination truncation
* Plugin URI: https://enviragallery.com
* Version: 1.0
* Author: Envira Gallery Team
* Author URI: https://enviragallery.com
* Description: Removes the dots from the pagination and replaces them with a complete number count.
*/

add_filter( 'envira_pagination_link_args', 'test_envira_pagination_link_args', 10, 3 );
function test_envira_pagination_link_args( $pagination_args, $html, $data ) {
    $pagination_args['show_all'] = true;
    return $pagination_args;
}

If you’re unsure how to create a plugin file, follow these steps below:

Open a text file and make sure that it is a plain text document. You can use a plain text editor like Notepad or a code editor of your choice.
Next, copy and paste the code shown above into the file and save the file as envira-remove-pagination-truncation.php.
Once you’ve saved the file you can easily upload this directly to your /plugins directory on your server using FTP or you can right-click on the text document and zip (or compress).
Finally, log in to your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins » Add New » Upload Plugin and upload the .zip file you just created in the previous step.

Activate the Plugin

Your final step is to activate the plugin you just uploaded. Simply navigate to the Plugins from within your WordPress dashboard and activate the Envira Gallery – Remove pagination truncation plugin.
