This plugin inserts pagination to your blog, archives and search results based on logarithmic calculation for a more evenly distributed link-juice.

== Description ==

This will give you an advanced pagination to distribute your link-juice more evenly across your paginated paged. It also provides a better choice of navigation to the user to explore and find your content.

You can turn the pagination on/off separately for:

*	homepage
*	search results
*	category archives
*	date archives
*	tag archives

You can also choose if you want it to be displayed before and/or after the loop content.

The plugin is currently available in English and German. If you want to help translate it, just write me an email. Help is much appreciated!

For more information visit the [plugin website](http://www.k308.de/labs/logarithmic-pagination "Logarithmic Pagination plugin page").

== Installation ==

1. Unzip wp-lopa.zip.
2. Upload `wp-lopa` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
3. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress
4. Change Settings on `Settings` -> `Log. Pagination`
5. Remove original pagination code from template files
6. Add some CSS to make it all pretty. To make it easier here is some sample-code:

`.paging-navigation ul {
	list-style: none;
}

.paging-navigation li {
	float: left;
}

.paging-navigation .current {
}

.paging-navigation .paginate_link {
}

.paging-navigation .prev {
}

.paging-navigation .next {
}`

Here is some sample HTML output:

`<nav role="navigation" id="pages_bottom" class="site-navigation paging-navigation">
	<h1 class="assistive-text">Post navigation</h1>
	<ul>
		<li>
			<a href="?paged=2" rel="prev" class="prev">
				<span class="paginate_link">Previous</span>
			</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="/">
				<span class="paginate_link">1</span>
			</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a rel="prev" href="?paged=2">
				<span class="paginate_link">2</span>
			</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<span class="current">3</span>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a rel="next" href="?paged=4">
				<span class="paginate_link">4</span>
			</a>
		</li>
[...]
		<li>
			<span class="seperator">..</span>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="?paged=19">
				<span class="paginate_link">19</span>
			</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<span class="seperator">...</span>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="?paged=35">
				<span class="paginate_link">35</span>
			</a>
		</li>
[...]
		<li>
			<a href="?paged=42">
				<span class="paginate_link">42</span>
			</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="?paged=4" rel="next" class="next">

			</a>
		</li>
	</ul>
</nav>`

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does the plugin support the use of pretty permalinks? =

Yes, it does. It uses internal Wordpress functions to generate the links so all changes to your link structure within your Wordpress site will be repsected.
