Blog pagination
Blog pagination allows users to navigate through a list of posts displayed on the homepage, search results, label searches, or blog archives.
There are four types of blog pagination available: Default, Infinite, Numbered, and Auto. By default, it is set to Auto.
The behaviors of these blog pagination types are as follows:
- Default: Displays three buttons for pagination: Newest, Homepage, and Oldest.
- Infinite: Displays a single Load more button that, when clicked, appends the next set of posts to the end of the current list on the same page.
- Numbered: Available only for all posts and label search pages. Displays a series of numbered buttons (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ...), allowing users to jump to specific pages of posts.
- Auto: Functions like the default to numbered pagination. If it fails to load the numbered pagination, it falls back to the Infinite pagination method.
To switch between blog pagination types, change the length of Blog Pagination Type to 1px, 2px, 3px or 4px for Default, Infinite, Numbered or Auto respectively.
For AMP variant of pages, always Default blog pagination type is used.
