I just ran into something annoying. The pagination controls for the blog post modules I use aren’t fully visible with the site’s current look. Normally this would be an easy fix but the controls for that don’t work for some reason, so without some html wizardry (which I don’t have enough of) I can’t bring them in line with everything else. I didn’t even realize the pagination links were even there until I started messing around. I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or groan when I finally saw them.

I can see posts from farther than a week back just fine since that’s backend viewing, but no one browsing the site could without the search function. Not ideal. I’m looking into it since it’s a really basic problem that should even be present. I want visitors to be able to check back as far as they like without having to search by category or some other method. Right now I have to focus on Atoning Mirror and Fleeing Victory, but I’ll be poking around on the side to find a full fix that works with the current look of the site.

I updated the category browsing so it actually works now. I hadn’t tested that so it’s about time. Now, if you click on a category listed in a post, it should bring you to a page with a good backlog of posts from said category. I put a faint background color in the category pages as a temporary fix; you can at least see the pagination text this way. That’s as close to a fix as I can do without some research.

Lastly, I’m working on a category list for the blog so you don’t have to navigate to a post with the category you’re looking for first. The widget customizations aren’t playing any nicer with the theme than the pagination text, so that won’t be up for a while longer. I can still do it manually, so that’s an option. It’ll just take longer.

That’s all for now o7
