I have KDE5 Plasma with one virtual desktop. I tried to show a desktop pager in panel for one virtual desktop, but without success — by default, the pager will only display when there is more than one virtual desktop. In KDE4, I could change the script at /usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma/packages/org.kde.pager/contents/ui/main.qml to always show the widget by commenting this line:

visible: repeater.count > 1

But in KDE5, the script is different and I don't know how to change it to show the widget when there is only one virtual desktop. The new location of the script is /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.pager/contents/ui/main.qml.

Does anyone know how to implement this?

I've resolved the issue with another widget on recommendation called Pagermod.

In the script at /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.pager/contents/ui/main.qml, look for the line

Plasmoid.status: pagerModel.shouldShowPager ? PlasmaCore.Types.ActiveStatus : PlasmaCore.Types.HiddenStatus

and change it to

Plasmoid.status: pagerModel.shouldShowPager || true ? PlasmaCore.Types.ActiveStatus : PlasmaCore.Types.HiddenStatus

This makes Plasmoid.status always be PlasmaCore.Types.ActiveStatus instead of being set to PlasmaCore.Types.HiddenStatus when pagerModel.shouldShowPager is false, which is incidentally when there is only one virtual desktop.

Note: This may not persist across updates.
