 * Is there a way to change the pagination so it only shows the first few next pages
   depending on what page you’re on?
 * Something like…
 * [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [More]
 * and on subsequent pages…
 * [Previous] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [More]
 * Reason being my pagination is starting to take up a lot of real estate by showing
   pagination boxes for the next 120 posts.
 * Thanks in advance

 * Not using pagination and usually only have 2 or 3 items listing but having the
   same problem. So I set pagination to NO and still getting boxes. Always equal
   to the number of items listed. (One list is followed by 144 boxes! 123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869707172737475767778798081828384858687888990919293949596979899100101102103104105106107108109110111112113114115116117118119120121122123124125126127128129130131132133134135136137138139140141142143144
   >> boxes not shown, just numbers)
    If you click one, it just reloads the same
   page. Here’s the shortcode. (Using variable $catid which is set for each page.)[
   catlist id=’.$catid.’ pagination=no post_type=”post,page” post_status=”publish”
   orderby=”title” order=asc date=yes ] (Using “Post Tags and Categories for Pages”
   plugin to assign pages to a category.)

 * Ok I found a fix for my problem. It won’t work if you are actually using pagination,
   but if you’re not and you want to get rid of all those little boxes with numbers
   in them. Edit the list-category-posts plug in , include directory, list-category-
   posts.php file and comment out everything in _**public function get\_pagination()**_
   between the { and the }. No more pagination links _(that don’t work anyway)_ 
   at the end of the display.

 * Just a reminder, this is a thread for working with pagination. The issue is that
   if you have a lot of posts, the current pagination design takes up a lot of page
   space.
 * We’re looking for some solution that makes the pagination look more like:
 * [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [More]
 * Thanks
