01Pagination · Read More · Post Nav
A focused plugin that replaces Divi's three stale navigation surfaces with modern, configurable, accessible ones — no jQuery, no telemetry, no fluff.
§ 01Three pillars
P. 02
Rewrite, hide, or per-post-override the Read More link on every Divi Blog, Posts, and Blog Extras module — and optionally on stock WordPress archives that don't go through Divi at all.
Replace Divi's two-link "Older / Newer Entries" with a real pager. Five modes; every mode renders inside the Divi Blog module and on stock WP archives that bypass the Blog module entirely.
Three modern replacements for the stock "Previous post / Next post" links at the bottom of every article. Auto-injected on stock single.php; replaced inline where the Divi Post Nav module is used.
§ 02Pagination modes
P. 03
The classic — every page is a click away with sensible mid-size and end-size collapsing. Microdata included.
Numbers framed by directional controls. Keyboard left/right also advances pages when the pager has focus.
Minimal, two-direction nav. Good for editorial sites where the count of total pages is not the message.
A single button fetches the next page over REST and appends. Nonce-verified. Per-IP rate limited. Graceful no-JS fallback.
IntersectionObserver triggers loads as the reader scrolls. Respects prefers-reduced-motion. Switches to a manual button after a configurable auto-load cap so people can still see the footer.
§ 04Under the hood
P. 05
Both render paths supported in one codebase. D4 shortcode filters, D5 native-block wrapper filters — auto-detected, no settings toggle.
AJAX modes ride a custom REST endpoint with wp_rest nonce verification and a hashed-IP 60-req/min cap. HTTP 429 with Retry-After when over.
Every translator-facing option is registered with the WPML string registry and piped through wpml_translate_single_string on output. Translation .pot ships in the box.
Real <nav> elements with aria-label. Live regions for progress. Focus on the first newly-loaded post. prefers-reduced-motion honored.
Detects the Post Nav module across post content and all enabled Theme Builder body / header / footer layouts — auto-injection only fires when nothing else will render.
Deletes every option, post meta, AJAX context transient, rate-limit counter and the debug log on every site in the network. Database left clean.
§ 05For developers
P. 06
The plugin exposes a public filter for every place its assumptions might bite. Need it to also rewrite Read More on a third-party post-listing module? Add its render slug.
Filters live in their own namespace, are versioned, and ship with proper docblocks. No magic, no global state.
See all filter hooks →/** * Also rewrite Read More on a custom post-listing module. */ add_filter( 'qdpn_blog_module_slugs', function ( $slugs ) { $slugs[] = 'my_custom_blog_module'; return $slugs; } ); // Inspect what the plugin sees on the current request: add_action( 'wp_footer', function () { if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) { echo '<!-- modules: ' . esc_html( implode( ', ', \Quikdin\DinovaPostNav\DIVI\Divi\DiviCompat::get_blog_module_slugs() ) ) . ' -->'; } } );
