Add a filter hook to modify the paginate links arguments

[ibachal]

A filter hook to modify arguments in the function paginate_links()

​https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/paginate_links/

This filter hook can be added as below:

Current:

$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );

After:

$args = apply_filters( 'paginate_links_args', wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults ) );

Hi everyone,

I'm all for this too. I build accessible themes and would appreciate to manipulate pagination args for improved accessibility. Currently I can only manipulate the output HTML, which is not ideal.

Any feedback on this? Or is this ticket lost in the past?

Adding more context:

In block themes there is no way for theme author to modify output of Pagination block other than tweaking its HTML via render_block filter.

Having a filter to modify the paginate_links() arguments would resolve the issue.

Can someone provide feedback whether introducing this filter is OK? Thanks!
