Change the "page" slug in pagination

Question

Simple question. When pagination is activated, the URL changes to "site.com/page/2". For my site, this should be "site.com/paggetto/2".

How can I change that rewrite rule? I also want to change "author" and other variables.

For some sites in German I use the following plugin to translate page to seite (the German word for page):

<?php # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- /** * Plugin Name: T5 Page to Seite * Description: Ersetzt <code>/page/</code> durch <code>/seite/</code>. * Author: Fuxia Scholz * License: MIT * License URI: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php */ if ( ! function_exists( 't5_page_to_seite' ) ) { register_activation_hook( __FILE__ , 't5_flush_rewrite_on_init' ); register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__ , 't5_flush_rewrite_on_init' ); add_action( 'init', 't5_page_to_seite' ); function t5_page_to_seite() { $GLOBALS['wp_rewrite']->pagination_base = 'seite'; } function t5_flush_rewrite_on_init() { add_action( 'init', 'flush_rewrite_rules', 11 ); } }

Note that you flush the rewrite rules on de/activation only. You will need a separate rewrite rule in your .htaccess to redirect old URLs to the new ones:

RedirectMatch Permanent ^/(.*)/page/(.*) /$1/seite/$2

What's the difference between $GLOBALS['wp_rewrite']->pagination_base = 'seite' and $wp_rewrite->search_base = 'buscar'; ? — DarkGhostHunter

There are subtle and unintuitive differences between global $var; and $GLOBALS['var']. Doesn’t matter in this case, just keep in mind that the latter form is more reliable and easier to read/understand. — fuxia

Figured out:

function re_rewrite_rules() { global $wp_rewrite; // $wp_rewrite->author_base = $author_slug; // print_r($wp_rewrite); $wp_rewrite->author_base = 'autor'; $wp_rewrite->search_base = 'buscar'; $wp_rewrite->comments_base = 'comentarios'; $wp_rewrite->pagination_base = 'pagina'; $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(); } add_action('init', 're_rewrite_rules');

At least, that will do the job.

Just one small notice, because of how extremely costly $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(); is in terms of performance, you should never use it on init, a much better option is to just visit the Permalink options page, and save the changes a few times, that will flush them for you. — Andre A

This function will work directly with your translation package, formatting your new base and prevent to run more than once the flush_rewrite_rules function avoiding bad performance of your blog.

function my_change_rewrite_base() { global $wp_rewrite; $bases = array( 'author_base' => __('Author'), 'search_base' => __('Search'), 'comments_base' => __('Comments'), 'pagination_base' => __('Page') ); foreach ($bases AS $key => $base) { $wp_rewrite->{$key} = remove_accents(mb_strtolower($base)); } if ( ! get_option('my_change_rewrite_base_flushed', false) ) { flush_rewrite_rules(); update_option( 'my_change_rewrite_base_flushed', time()); } } add_action('init', 'my_change_rewrite_base');

The following worked for me:

function nw_strana() { $GLOBALS['wp_rewrite']->pagination_base = 'strana'; } add_action( 'init', 'nw_strana' ); function nw_rewrite( $rules ) { $new_rules = array( 'obchod/strana/([0-9]{1,})/?$' => 'index.php?post_type=product&paged=$matches[1]', ); $rules = array_merge( $new_rules, $rules ); return $rules; } add_filter( 'rewrite_rules_array', 'nw_rewrite' );

Any idea to remove the "page" from the slug for pagination? Default mydomain/page/2. I want it to be mydomain/1 Thanks in advance! — Jornes

I wouldn't recommend doing that @Jornes, too much confusion with posts/pages which also don't use a (slug) prefix. — Beee
