 * Is it possible to show the current post number?
    Something like:
 * **Page: 2 of 5.**
 * I’m using Post Link Plus to page through the custom post types from a particular
   custom taxonomy. I can provide further details if it’d be useful.

 * As currently written, no. The plugin contains two functions, next_post_link_plus
   and previous_post_link_plus, that output information about the next and previous
   posts. So it would be possible to do something like this:
 * **Previous Post: 1 of 5** | **Next Post: 3 of 5**
 * However in order to output information about the current post (**Current Post:
   2 of 5**), I would have to add a new function called current_post_link_plus. 
   No one has ever requested anything like that before, and I think it is going 
   a little outside the scope of what my plugin is intended to be used for. But 
   if enough people think such a feature would be useful, I might try to add it 
   in a future version of the plugin.

 * Thanks for such a quick reply Michael, that sounds fair enough. I think a way
   of showing current post position in the list would be a handy option but I understand
   if it’s not such a quick thing to do.
    Hopefully a few other people like the 
   idea of that feature, it would be nice to see it in a future version 🙂 Andy

 * Apart from having to create a new function, the underlying database queries would
   also have to be rewritten in order to generate the paging information, so it 
   is not a trivial fix. I would guess at least a half day to code, test, debug,
   and update the documentation. But like I said, I’ll add it to the pile of ideas
   for possible inclusion in a future update.
