Add Grid with Pagination that Displays only Specific Post Categories

Support
#1

I have many posts on my site that are categorized by WordPress categories.

I must create over 70 post grids displaying the featured image, title, and excerpt. So your standard post grid.

I need the grid to have pagination as many of the categories have hundreds of posts and I don’t want the page to load all of them at once as this will slow the page down.

How can I add grids with pagination to different pages on my website that only show posts from a specific category?

I have recorded a video explaining this further.

Hello @dstro003,

Thanks for writing in!

Regretfully you cannot add a Pagination element if you are using the Looper Provider/Consumer on a normal page. Pagination only works on an archive page. It is also weird because if we try to create a grid in your archive page, it will crash your site. I would highly recommend that you create a staging site so we can test and troubleshoot in the staging site. This also prevents your main site from crashing while you are creating the grids.

At the moment, the best option, to add grids with pagination to different pages on your website that only show posts from a specific category, is to use the Essential Grid plugin.

Best Regards.

I had troubles with creating a staging site.

I will just take a backup of the site. Please go ahead and make changes to my site to make this work.

I had way too much trouble with the essential grid plugin. It slowed down my site, I hired developers and they couldn’t figure it out and themeco support didn’t help me. So using essential grid is not an option

Hello @dstro003,

You can check out this demo layout:

It is in grid format and may display a pagination when there is a need to. Take for example this two post categories:

The first one did not display the pagination because it has only 25 items to display yet in Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most, you have set it to 50. So, in link #2, the Pagination is shown because that category has 71 items.

Hope this makes sense.
