Pagination for Custom Loops
There are different ways to create a pagination for WordPress posts in a loop:
- Using
next_posts_link()
andprevious_posts_links()
functions - Using
paginate_links()
orget_the_posts_pagination()
that allows to display numeric pagination. - In old times we also used plugins for that purpose, the most popular was WP-Pagenavi.
In this tutorial my goal is to show you how to create any kind of custom paginations for almost anything. For example did you know that do display page numbers in Appearance > Menus is also used paginate_links()
function?

WordPress Multisite: How to Get all Terms in a One Loop
In this tutorial I am going to talk about how to print all the terms from your multisite network using just one query. It means that we are not going to use swith_to_blog()
solution, because there is some disadvantages to it.
- When you print categories or any other custom taxonomies with the help of
switch_to_blog()
andget_terms()
it will be tough to sort them in a desired way, and usually terms are going to be displayed separated by a site (all terms from Site 1, then all terms from Site 2 etc). - There are going to be a lot of SQL queries – for each loop iteration at least.
