Quick ways to prove it’s working (2-minute tests)
Test A: Force post pagination to appear
- Go to Settings → Reading
- Set “Blog pages show at most” to 1 (temporarily)
- Make sure you have 2+ posts
- Visit your blog index (
index.php) or a category archive (archive.php)
✅ You should now see the Bootstrap pagination.
Test B: If you meant comment pagination
Comment pagination is separate and requires BOTH:
- Settings → Discussion → Break comments into pages enabled
- More comments than the per-page limit
Steps:
- Settings → Discussion
- Enable “Break comments into pages…”
- Set it to 1 comment per page (temporarily)
- Add a second comment to the post
- Refresh
✅ Now you’ll see “Older/Newer Comments” navigation (or comment page links if you add them).
