Pagination, how to increase number of pages shown?

[chriswrites]

I have been trying to find the answer to this but haven't had any luck, if anyone can help it ould be much appreciated.
On homepages / category pages / Archives Only a maximum number or paginated pages are shown i.e. 1 2 3 4 ... 32 Next page>

I want to increase the number of pages shown ( I believe it helps search engine indexing.. reducing the amount of steps to each page) Whether you believe that or not does anyone have any ideas on how I could change it to show pages 1 - 10 instead of 1 - 4?

Thanks!!

Thanks for trying to help but there are no options to this under the content archive settings.

Try the WordPress Reading settings.

You would unhook the genesis_posts_nav from the genesis_after_endwhile using remove action and hook in your own php, such as you could use https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_posts_pagination and notice the arguments, or you could copy out the genesis_numeric_posts_nav() into your child theme, rename the function, adjust the 2 to the left and 2 to the right if the page is + 2 (see genesis/lib/structure/post.php). I would go with the standard WordPress function, much easier to mess with. Using the instructions in the codex and removing the default, the result is:

/**
 *
 * Archive Pagination with mid_size increase
 *   
 */
function yourprefix_archive_pagination() {
	
	echo '<div class="archive-pagination pagination">';
	global $wp_query;

	$big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer

		echo paginate_links( array(
			'base'      => str_replace( $big , '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
			'format'    => '?paged=%#%',
			'mid_size'  => 5,
			'current'   => max( 1, get_query_var( 'paged' ) ),
			'total'     => $wp_query->max_num_pages
		) );

	echo '</div>';
	
}
add_action( 'genesis_after_endwhile', 'yourprefix_archive_pagination' );

//* remove default archive pagination
remove_action( 'genesis_after_endwhile', 'genesis_posts_nav' );

I suggest, to save a lot of grief, use FTP and a code editor (not any wordprocessor) and add this the the very end of your functions.php file outside of all other functions or use the plugin My Custom Functions. Don't use the Appearance editor.
