How to style pagination links

Would you like to style or customize the pagination links in Envira Gallery’s Pagination Addon? All you’ll need is a little CSS. We’ll guide you step-by-step on how to style pagination links in Envira.

Step 1 – Create or Edit Gallery

First, you’ll need to either create a new gallery or edit an existing gallery. If you need any help, check out our guide on creating your first gallery.

Step 2 – Setup Envira Pagination

Pagination for the gallery will need to be enabled. You can see in the image below the settings we’re using for the purpose of this tutorial.

Step 3 – Install and Activate the CSS Addon

In the next step, you’ll need to install and activate Envira CSS Addon. Navigate to the Addons section and click Install, then Activate the CSS Addon.

Step 4 – The CSS Code

Below is the CSS we’ve used in our demo.

You’ll need to change this ID number to match your gallery ID number. You can find this by looking in the sidebar of your gallery edit screen.

For more information on how to find your gallery ID number, you can read this article.

You can also just add this CSS to the WordPress Customizer to make this change for all of your Envira Galleries!

To find out more about the WordPress Customizer, please review our article on How to add custom CSS to the WordPress Customizer.

#envira-gallery-wrap-438183 .envira-pagination {
    text-align: center;
}
#envira-gallery-wrap-438183 .envira-pagination a.page-numbers, #envira-gallery-wrap-438183 span.page-numbers.dots, #envira-gallery-wrap-438183 .envira-pagination a.prev.page-numbers, #envira-gallery-wrap-438183 .envira-pagination a.next.page-numbers {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 10px;
    background-color: #363f48;
    border-radius: 3px;
    text-decoration: none;
    transition: all 0.2s ease-in 0s;
    color: #fff;
}
#envira-gallery-wrap-438183 .envira-pagination a.page-numbers:hover, #envira-gallery-wrap-438183 .envira-pagination a.prev.page-numbers:hover, #envira-gallery-wrap-438183 .envira-pagination a.next.page-numbers:hover {
    background-color: #ccc;
    color: #363f48;
}
#envira-gallery-wrap-438183 .envira-pagination span.page-numbers.current {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 10px;
    background-color: #ccc;
    border-radius: 3px;
    color: #363f48;
}

Once you’ve added the CSS to the Misc tab, just click Publish or Update on your gallery to save the changes.

If you’re going to want this change for all galleries, just remove the gallery ID number from the CSS and add your CSS to the Appearance » Customize » Additional CSS and click Publish to save the changes.

FAQs

Q: Could I use the same CSS for albums too?

A: You’d use exactly the same CSS, but just be sure the ID matches the album. If you added this CSS for all then the album images would automatically be covered under the above CSS.

Q: Why does my CSS look different from the demo?

A: This could be due to the WordPress theme adding its own styling to link items. For this reason, there could be other causes for the styling not working for you.
