The pagination in my K2 install looks archaic and cluttered:


I am using IceTheme's Black and white template and the pagination outside of k2 content looks like this:



How do I get K2's pagination to look like IceThemes?

You need to restyle your pagination element.

Go to the template manager.
Select "Templates" from the menu on the left. ( top left) in blue if you are using Joomla 3 standard admin template.

Click on the template you are working on

Pick your CSS file... I advise that you create one for you instead of messing up with the default ones.
Open the CSS file and restyle (type in) this class.

.k2Pagination li {padding:2px 4px;}

This should give your nav numbers a bit of space that you can live with.

If you want to add the background colors etc... You will need to write more CSS...

Hope this helps

I had the same issue with all scrunched up pagination in k2. This fixed it for me.

Edit file k2.css and simply add

.pagination span { padding: 6px; }
.pagination a { padding: 6px; }

Change pixel size as you want.
