Thrive Themes allows you to select from 4 different pagination types, they are:
- Numeric – The blog posts are set out on a number of pages that can be navigated to.
- Load more – A load more button is at the bottom of the set number of blog posts. Pressing load more will load more blog posts.
- Infinite Scroll – As the user scrolls down the page, posts will continue loading.
- None
This post will explain how to change the pagination type of your blog post reel.
What Is Pagination on a Website?
Pagination when it comes to a website is what is used to divide pages of digital information. This could be breaking a single post up into multiple pages or having all of your blog posts on different pages.
In my below how-to blog post, I will explain how to change my pagination button from Load More to Numeric.
