How to display pagination number when you only have one blog post

[Carla the Moose]

I'm launching my website tonight and am so excited!

The one thing I've been looking forward to, though, is seeing that number 1 at the bottom of my first blog post, and only that number 1, since there won't yet be any other posts.

Things are a bit fuzzy right now as I work hard to get ready for the launch. I would sure appreciate some guidance on what to do. It seems like it would be simple enough, but I can't seem to focus and hone in on what needs to be done.

Thank you!!

Okay, Brad, if you're reading this, once again thanks for your guidance. You pointed me toward the post.php file for the last task I needed to tackle, and sure enough that's where the code is located for this one.

Do NOT do this directly in your core file as I did. When I have time, I'm going to figure out how to write a function for this and add it to my child theme. I marked my changes with a commented out XXX so I can easily find them and then downloaded a copy of the file in case an update wipes it out.

So here's the snippet you're looking for. No CSS adjustments needed.

//* Stop execution if there's only 1 page XXX
	if( $wp_query->max_num_pages <= 1 )
		return;

I simply changed the 1 to 0 in the below code and it works.

P.S. You used to know me as a woodland coyote, but now I'm my proper self ... a moose!

It occurred to me ...

As soon as I write my second post, both pages will show in the numeric pagination. I only display one post per page.

So no need to write a function, because in a few days I'll have more content.

:o))
