Question: How can we implement pagination on a custom WP_Query Ajax ?
Answer: We can follow the following steps.
1. Load More link.
Load More
2. Javascript: - Put this at the bottom of the file.
var ajaxUrl = "";
var page = 1; // What page we are on.
var ppp = 3; // Post per page
$("#more_posts").on("click",function(){ // When btn is pressed.
$("#more_posts").attr("disabled",true); // Disable the button, temp.
$.post(ajaxUrl, {
action:"more_post_ajax",
// offset: (page * ppp) + 1,
offset: (page * ppp),
ppp: ppp
}).success(function(posts){
page++;
$(".name_of_posts_class").append(posts); // CHANGE THIS!
$("#more_posts").attr("disabled",false);
});
});
3. Put this in the functions.php file.
function more_post_ajax(){
$offset = $_POST["offset"];
$ppp = $_POST["ppp"];
header("Content-Type: text/html");
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => $ppp,
'cat' => 1,
'offset' => $offset,
);
$loop = new WP_Query($args);
while ($loop->have_posts()) { $loop->the_post();
the_content();
}
exit;
}
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_more_post_ajax', 'more_post_ajax');
add_action('wp_ajax_more_post_ajax', 'more_post_ajax');
4. Enjoy :)
