Styling pagination in twenty twelve theme - php

Question

I'm using WordPress twenty twelve theme as parent theme. I wanted to add numbered pagination to it so I found this code and I added it to my function.php file:
<?php
if ( ! function_exists( 'twentytwelve_content_nav' ) ) :
function twentytwelve_content_nav() {
global $wp_query;
$big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
echo paginate_links( array(
'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
'format' => '?paged=%#%',
'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
) );
}
endif;
?>
which really worked fine the problem is I failed to add css styling as It is not warped in any ID or class which limits my ability to style it the way I planed. Is there any way to add class or Id to this code so I can style it?

Answer 1

I have checked the Wordpress codec, and there is no way to add a class or id in the paginate_links function.
Why not just wrap the echo statement in a container div?
?><div class="paginated-links"><?php
echo paginate_links( array(
'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
'format' => '?paged=%#%',
'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
) );
?></div><?php
EDIT: To use this, replace the following code, with the code above:
echo paginate_links( array(
'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
'format' => '?paged=%#%',
'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
) );

<?php $category = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
$cat_id = $category->cat_ID;
?>
<?php
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$wpquery = new WP_Query(array(
'order' => 'DESC',
'cat' => $cat_id,
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'paged'=>$page
));
while ($wpquery->have_posts()) {
$wpquery->the_post();
?>
<li class="contentlist">
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
</li>
<?php
}
?>
<?php
global $wpquery;
if( $wpquery->max_num_pages >1){
$big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
echo paginate_links( array(
'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
'format' => '?paged=%#%',
'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
'total' => $wpquery->max_num_pages
) );
}
?>
functions.php
// Pagination for each category
function custom_ppp( $query ) {
if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_category() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '10' );
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_ppp' );
?>
