Related Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if pagination is not showing on my WooCommerce product listing?

If pagination isn't appearing, ensure that the number set in the Maximum Posts Display field is lower than your total number of products. This is crucial because pagination only activates when there are more products than the maximum displayed. Additionally, verify that you have selected Pagination from the Load More Options dropdown in the Extra Options tab.

What is the best pagination type to choose for my WooCommerce store?

The best pagination type depends on your user experience goals. Standard pagination provides a clear page-by-page navigation, while AJAX-based pagination allows for a smoother experience by loading new products without refreshing the page. Consider your audience's preferences and the overall design of your site when making this choice.

How does the Maximum Posts Display setting affect pagination?

The Maximum Posts Display setting determines how many products are shown per page. If this number is set too high, pagination won't appear at all. For effective pagination, set this number lower than your total product count. This ensures that customers can navigate through multiple pages instead of being overwhelmed by a long list.
