Wordpress- Ajax Pagination (How to implement pagination on a custom WP_Query Ajax ?)

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 :)
