MCParticipantwe have the pro version of ultra. trying to get pagination working in a child theme while using custom post type. Is there documentation or advice? thanks

Puro SupportKeymasterHi MC
Ultra is using
the_posts_pagination
so WordPress should be handling that.https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_posts_pagination
If you think the child theme may be a factor, switch to the parent theme and test.
Here is a demo custom post type: https://demo.purothemes.com/ultra/services/. You can see the pagination is working normally.
Are you using Ultra
1.3.1
?Have you gone to
Settings > Permalinks
and clicked Save?What is the problem that you’re seeing specifically?

MCParticipantI’m using the latest version. permalinks are set.
page is here
pagination does not fire.
this is the code for page that pulls the data:
<div class=”listing-page”>
<?php
$posttype = ‘lda’;
$args = array(
‘posts_per_page’ => 6,
‘post_type’ => $posttype,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
‘lda_category’ => ‘lda-newsire’,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
“nopaging” => false,
“paged” => get_query_var(‘page’)
);
$posts_array = new WP_Query( $args );if ( $posts_array->have_posts() ) :
while ( $posts_array->have_posts() ) : $posts_array->the_post();
$permalink = get_the_permalink();
?>
<div class=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?> post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-blog”>
<h2>
“>
<?php the_title();?>
</h2>
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
the_post_thumbnail(‘medium’,[‘class’ => ‘img-responsive custom_post_img’]);
}
?>
<div class=”post-content”>
<p>
<?php
$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
echo $excerpt;
?>
</p>
</div>
<p class=”readmore”>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”>Read more …</p>
</div>
<!–post–><?php endwhile; ?>
<div class=”pagination”>
<?php the_posts_pagination(); ?>
</div>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php endif; ?></div>

Puro SupportKeymasterThanks for your feedback. Please, try temporarily switching to the parent theme and test to see if the problem persists.

MCParticipanttested it but it then no data is displayed because I have a custom function to use a shortcode
function newswire() {
global $content;
global $wpdb;
ob_start();
include ‘include/newswire.php’;
$output = ob_get_clean();
return $output;
}
add_shortcode( ‘newswire’, ‘newswire’ );maybe you have a better way.

Puro SupportKeymasterIdeally, we need to try and find a working benchmark. Do you have any ideas? Does this work with Twenty Sixteen for example? Is there a problem with Ultra or your customization missing functionality?
June 21, 2018 at 7:44 pm #10043
MCParticipantif I could see how you do it on your demo page, I could apply that to mine.
https://demo.purothemes.com/ultra/services/.how you call the custom type.
June 21, 2018 at 7:47 pm #10044
Puro SupportKeymasterI’m using the SiteOrigin Premium Custom Post Type Builder for that demo. I just wanted to show that at a base level, the default pagination function works with a custom post type.
June 21, 2018 at 7:49 pm #10045
Puro SupportKeymasterIs the custom loop necessary? Does the post type not having a default archive structure? That’s what we’re using with the demo, no extra files, we’re using the default structure.
June 21, 2018 at 7:49 pm #10046
MCParticipantI’ll research their documentation and see if I can apply it here. thanks.
June 21, 2018 at 7:50 pm #10047
Puro SupportKeymasterCan you send a link to those docs?
June 21, 2018 at 7:50 pm #10048
MCParticipantJune 21, 2018 at 7:51 pm #10049
Puro SupportKeymasterAre you using SiteOrigin Premium to create the custom post type?
June 21, 2018 at 7:53 pm #10050
MCParticipantI am not, just hardcode the shortcode then the shortcode in the page. so if I have a custom post type ‘newswire’ how to display that in an archive?
June 21, 2018 at 7:57 pm #10051
Puro SupportKeymasterThanks for the update. The SiteOrigin docs, unfortunately, wouldn’t be applicable then.
Which plugin is creating the custom post type? Do you have a link to the newswire plugin, it’s those docs I was asking for a link to. Sorry for the confusion.
When a plugin creates a custom post type, it chooses whether or not to add the archive page. When you create a custom post type manually, there is an argument for the archive page:
'has_archive' => true,
If the post type is called
newswire
and if the plugin handling this has the above argument set totrue
then there should be an archive page without any customizing.Can you send a link to the plugin?
