Plugin to support navigation by pages - similar to built in function the_posts_navigation() for posts.\nPages in navigation are filtered by provided menu (Primary menu by default) and sorted in the same order as in menu.\nBy default, main menu is used, but different menu could be used by calling function for displaying with different menu as parameter.<\/p>\n\n

Disclaimer!<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin works only with classic themes. With FSE themes it will not work, since it depends on classic menus.<\/p>\n\n
