Numbered Article List Through Paginated Archive WordPress
- SOLVED
I have an archive page that lists 14 post titles per page, alphabetically. I've managed to number them sequentially from 1-14 on page 1 but I'd like to keep the numbers going on the next page 2 of pagination, and so on. However, I'm not exactly sure how I can start numbering from 15 on page 2, and so forth for pages 3, 4, 5, etc.
<?php
$page = get_query_var('paged');
$list_number = 1;
?>
<h2><span>Index List // </span>Page <?php echo $page; ?></h2>
<ol>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li id="post_<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h3>
<span><?php echo ++ $list_number; ?></span>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Click to read '<?php the_title(); ?>'">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</h3>
</li>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</ol>

try replace
$list_number = 1;
with
$list_number = 14*($page-1)+1;

Man, you nailed it square in the glasses.
Thanks so much.

Just to expand on that, I made it even more dynamic by fetching the 'posts_per_page' variable so something like this works like a charm:
$list_number = get_option('posts_per_page') * ($page-1) +1;
Dbranes comments:
cool,
ps: if you want to use a check on the $page variable, you can use these one-liners:
$list_number = ($page>0) ? get_option('posts_per_page') * ($page-1) +1:0;
or
$list_number = ($page>0) ? get_option('posts_per_page') * ($page-1) +1:1;

Hi,
Try this
<?php
$page = get_query_var('paged');
if( $page > 0 )
$list_number = $page*14;
?>
<h2><span>Index List // </span>Page <?php echo $page; ?></h2>
<ol>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li id="post_<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h3>
<span><?php echo ++ $list_number; ?></span>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Click to read '<?php the_title(); ?>'">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</h3>
</li>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</ol>

How about this:
<?php
$page = get_query_var('paged');
$list_number = 0 + $page;
?>
<h2><span>Index List // </span>Page <?php echo $page; ?></h2>
<ol>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $list_number++; ?>
<li id="post_<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h3>
<span><?php echo $list_number; ?></span>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Click to read '<?php the_title(); ?>'">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</h3>
</li>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Hi.
But why you don't just use the default archive loop and a plugin to paginate you archive page as you like? or you can use a function for pagination rathan of plugin if you want.
You can just add this code before the loop:
<?php query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=14'); ?>
and the pagination will work perfectly..
If you want me to give you the full code of the archive page just let me know.
Good luck.
