Page Navigation with Recent Posts Shortcode

[fh_media]

I have a blog posts page that I created in the Cornerstone editor, and I’m using this instead of the default Wordpress posts page.

I’m using the [recent posts] shortcode in Integrity.

My question is this: Is there a way to get navigation buttons to display at the bottom of the page?

I am currently showing the most recent 3 blog posts, but if a user wants to see posts older than those three, they have to either search or check the archive. Is there a way to have “next page” buttons like in the default Wordpress recent posts page? I didn’t see any options for it on the shortcode demo.

To clarify in case it isn’t clear:
[recent posts]

[Page 1] [Page 2] [Page 3] <-- Navigation buttons I want to have

Hello @FaHT,

Thanks for writing in! Please be advised that the WordPress post navigation (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_posts_pagination) can only be used in blog index and in the archive pages. Since you have created a custom blog index, displaying the post items with recent post element, regretfully it is impossible to add a pagination on the page. Please also keep in mind that the recent post element will only display up to 4 items.

Hope this explains it briefly.
