You can use [wpv-conditional] shortcode to check if it is current post, then display different styled link, for example:

I'm trying to create a navigation from list of posts.

I need to make the current page in bold and first item.

Is this possible?

	[wpv-items-found]
<ul class="pagination">
	<li class="page-item">[wpv-pager-prev-page force="true"][wpml-string context="wpv-views"]<img src="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" style="height:50px;"/>[/wpml-string][/wpv-pager-prev-page]</li>
	<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
	<wpv-loop wrap="4">
		[wpv-item index=1]
		<div class="row" style="width:100%;">

Hello,

Yes, it is possible, you can use [wpv-conditional] shortcode to check if it is current post, then display different styled link, for example:

[wpv-conditional if="([wpv-post-id]=[wpv-post-id item="$current_page"])"]
<strong>[wpv-post-link]</strong>
[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="([wpv-post-id]=[wpv-post-id item="$current_page"])" evaluate="false"]
[wpv-post-link]
[/wpv-conditional]

Hi, how can I make the current page as the first item in view?

Thanks!

#2268889

You can put the [wpv-post-link item="$current_page"] shortcode outside view's loop, and enable view's option "Don't include current page in query result"

$current_page is used to retrieve data from the current page being rendered. It can be used inside a View loop to obtain data from the page on which the View is being rendered.
