Title: Disabling the ellipses Last modified: May 24, 2020 --- # Disabling the ellipses * Resolved [gutterboy333](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gutterboy333/) * (@gutterboy333) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses-2/) * Hi there, * I created a similar topic about 15 months ago here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses/) * Just wondering if there has been any thought of providing an option for this? The plugin has been updated a few times since and each time I have had to remember to do the suggested change. * Now that I just installed it on a new site that means I am going to have to do the change to multiple sites now. * Would be awesome if this functionality was added sometime soon 🙂 * Thanks a lot!

  • ` element. * Plugin Author [AlanP57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanp57/) * (@alanp57) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses-2/#post-12889666) * The right margin can also be adjusted with custom CSS code. * Thread Starter [gutterboy333](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gutterboy333/) * (@gutterboy333) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses-2/#post-12889835) * Hi Alan, * Not in a reliable manner it can’t. It has no specific class tied to that `
  • ` element, so the only way to target it would be to target it as a specific child element, but it doesn’t stay in a reliable position to do so (sometimes it’s the last child and sometimes it’s the second last child – and I think sometimes it’s the first child and sometimes it’s the second child). * Yes, you could technically apply a class to it via JS, but to be honest IMO I think that is getting a bit convoluted for what should be a trivial problem. * Thread Starter [gutterboy333](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gutterboy333/) * (@gutterboy333) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses-2/#post-13243277) * Why is it so hard to fix this? * To me it seems that putting in a simple checkbox in admin to disable the ellipses would be pretty simple. * All you have to do is change this line: * `$ellipsis = "
  • ...
    • ";` * to… * `$ellipsis = "";` * Not sure why this is such a hard request. Every single time the plugin is updated I have to manually make this change. * Fortunately I only have it installed on one site at this stage, but I likely wouldn’t install it on any others because of this. * Plugin Author [AlanP57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanp57/) * (@alanp57) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses-2/#post-13243385) * We have been busy with a major project. But we can consider adding this in the future. * Thread Starter [gutterboy333](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gutterboy333/) * (@gutterboy333) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses-2/#post-13245034) * Thank You.

  • ` there. * This is a problem for the reasons I have specified above. * Can’t it just be an empty string? …or at least apply a class to the empty `
  • ` so it can reliably be targeted with CSS. * Thanks! * Plugin Author [AlanP57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanp57/) * (@alanp57) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses-2/#post-13287089) * You can change * `$ellipsis = "
  • ";` * on line 369 to * `$ellipsis = "
  • ";` * And this will be included next release, whenever that happens. * Thread Starter [gutterboy333](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gutterboy333/) * (@gutterboy333) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses-2/#post-13287576) * Thanks Alan! 🙂 Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) The topic ‘Disabling the ellipses’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-paginate/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=1566512) * [WP-Paginate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-paginate/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-paginate/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-paginate/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-paginate/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-paginate/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-paginate/reviews/) * 12 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [gutterboy333](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gutterboy333/) * Last activity: [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-the-ellipses-2/#post-13287576) * Status: resolved
