Balance theme: blog page pagination issue

[oldmankit]

I've been using the Balance theme for several years and am really happy with it. However within the last few months I've noticed a problem with the pagination on my home page. It is set to display my recent posts, and the relevant part of the page is like this:

&lt;div class="navigation"&gt;&lt;div class="pagination-next alignright"&gt;<a href="https://isoreiki.com/page/2/">Next Page »</a>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

However on the Balance demo site, it is like this:

&lt;div class="navigation"&gt;<ul>&lt;li aria-label="Current page" class="active"&gt;<a href="http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/">1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/page/2/">2</a></li>
<li><a href="http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/page/3/">3</a></li>
<li><a href="http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/page/4/">4</a></li>
&lt;li class="pagination-next"&gt;<a href="http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/page/2/">Next Page »</a></li>
</ul>&lt;/div&gt;

Here's what I've tried to fix it:

• I completely replaced my /themes/balance folder with a freshly-downloaded version of the Theme from Studiopress. To my surprise, this didn't fix it.
• I also disabled every single plugin on my site. This also didn't fix it.

This is just a guess, but it's that a recent update to the Genesis framework has changed pagination.

Whatever the cause, I'd like to go back to the old pagination. With the Balance theme, it looks way nicer. Is there a way?

The Balance demo site is no longer available on the Studio Press site. But if you are questioning the aria-label text, this is part of accessibility support. You have to enable accessibility for the balance theme to see it. http://genesis-accessible.org/2015/07/genesis-2-2-accessibility-changes-and-features/

I don't know why the html I entered came out so garbled. I was using the word 'html' in square brackets, following the instructions in the forum FAQ. I'll try again here, using the 'code' ticks:

My site:

<div class="navigation"><div class="pagination-next alignright"><a href="https://isoreiki.com/page/2/">Next Page »</a></div></div>

Demo site:

<div class="navigation"><ul><li aria-label="Current page" class="active"><a href="http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/">1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/page/2/">2</a></li>
<li><a href="http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/page/3/">3</a></li>
<li><a href="http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/page/4/">4</a></li>
<li class="pagination-next"><a href="http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/page/2/">Next Page »</a></li>
</ul></div>

Thanks for your reply, Victor.

It's not the aria label, which isn't a problem, it's the rest of the markup, which is structured completely differently between the demo site and my live site. For example, on the demo site there is an unordered list of pages, but that doesn't exist on my site. It's causing the pagination to display completely differently.

Hi,

check that Genesis - Theme Settings - Content Archives - Entry Pagination is set to Numeric.

Ah, Christoph, it really was as easy as that. Thank you so much.
