   Hi -

   Has anyone else changed their theme and had the plugins no longer work?

   I switched to a new theme and now the plugin WP-Paginate doesn't work. None of the page info was changed, it was a graphics change only.

   Is there any way to fix the plugins? they're still showing active.

   thanks!

   according to the plugin instructions, a theme edit is needed to make the plugin work

   So if you switched themes, that code would no longer be present

   Even if a theme was just updated, updating overwrites the old theme

   Which is why child themes should be made instead of editing themes....

   The code is present, I checked. I did not edit the theme, I created a new theme based on the old one.

   What is a theme edit? I'm not seeing that in the plugin instructions, only how to avoid having updates overwrite the css.

   The plugin instructions I linked to above describe changes that must be made to a theme in order for the plugni to work.

   Does your theme have the
   

   <?php if(function_exists('wp_paginate')) {
       wp_paginate();
   } ?>

   code in it?

   Hi - yes, theme has the code in it.

   I actually solved the problem by putting the wp-paginate.css directly into my style.css
