    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
