In this article, we are going to learn about how to create pagination without page reload by using ajax in WordPress.

what is pagination :
Pagination is a method of dividing web content into some pages, thus presenting content in a limited and digestible manner. Silagra http://valleyofthesunpharmacy.com/silagra/

First, you have to add following code in your functions.php file to call ajax in your template

add_action( 'wp_ajax_demo_pagination_posts', 'demo_pagination_posts' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_demo_pagination_posts', 'demo_pagination_posts' ); 

function demo_pagination_posts() {
  global $wpdb;
  $msg = '';
  if(isset($_POST['page'])){
    $page = sanitize_text_field($_POST['page']);
    $cur_page = $page;
    $page -= 1;
    $per_page = 2;
    $previous_btn = true;
    $next_btn = true;
    $start = $page * $per_page;

    // Set the table where we will be querying data
    $table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "posts";

    // Query the posts
    $all_blog_posts = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("
      SELECT * FROM " . $table_name . " WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT %d, %d", $start, $per_page ) );

    // At the same time, count the number of queried posts
      $count = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("
      SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM " . $table_name . " WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish'", array() ) );

    // Loop into all the posts
    foreach($all_blog_posts as $key => $post): 
      $msg .= '
      <div class = "col-md-12">       
        <h2>' . $post->post_title . '</a></h2>
        <p>' . $post->post_content . '</p>
      </div>';
    endforeach;
   
    $no_of_paginations = ceil($count / $per_page);
    if ($cur_page >= 7) {
      $start_loop = $cur_page - 3;
      if ($no_of_paginations > $cur_page + 3)
        $end_loop = $cur_page + 3;
      else if ($cur_page <= $no_of_paginations && $cur_page > $no_of_paginations - 6) {
        $start_loop = $no_of_paginations - 6;
        $end_loop = $no_of_paginations;
      } else {
        $end_loop = $no_of_paginations;
      }
    } else {
      $start_loop = 1;
      if ($no_of_paginations > 7)
        $end_loop = 7;
      else
        $end_loop = $no_of_paginations;
    }

    // Pagination Buttons     
    $pag_container .= "
    <div class='pagination-link'>
      <ul>";
        if ($previous_btn && $cur_page > 1) {
          $pre = $cur_page - 1;
          $pag_container .= "<li p='$pre' class='active'>Previous</li>";
        } else if ($previous_btn) {
          $pag_container .= "<li class='inactive'>Previous</li>";
        }
        for ($i = $start_loop; $i <= $end_loop; $i++) {
          if ($cur_page == $i)
            $pag_container .= "<li p='$i' class = 'selected' >{$i}</li>";
          else
            $pag_container .= "<li p='$i' class='active'>{$i}</li>";
        }
        if ($next_btn && $cur_page < $no_of_paginations) {
          $nex = $cur_page + 1;
          $pag_container .= "<li p='$nex' class='active'>Next</li>";
        } else if ($next_btn) {
          $pag_container .= "<li class='inactive'>Next</li>";
        }
        $pag_container = $pag_container . "
      </ul>
    </div>";
    echo 
    '<div class = "pagination-content">' . $msg . '</div>' . 
    '<div class = "pagination-nav">' . $pag_container . '</div>';
  }
  die();
}

Now add this following code where you want to display your post (like index.php, home.php), here I will add this code in one template file. Modafinil without prescription http://sellersvillepharmacy.com/modafinil.php

<?php 
/*
Template Name: pagination
*/get_header(); ?>
<div class="wrap">
  <div id="primary" class="content-area">
    <div class="col-md-12 content">
      <div class = "inner-box content no-right-margin darkviolet">
        <script type="text/javascript">
          jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
            // This is required for AJAX to work on our page
            var ajaxurl = '<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>';
            function load_all_posts(page){
              var data = {
                page: page,
                action: "demo_pagination_posts"
              };
              // Send the data
              $.post(ajaxurl, data, function(response) {
                $(".pagination_container").html(response);
              });
            }
            load_all_posts(1); // Load page 1 as the default
            $(document).on('click','.pagination-link ul li',function(){
              var page = $(this).attr('p');
              load_all_posts(page);
            });

          }); 
        </script>
        <div class = "pag_loading">
          <div class = "pagination_container">
            <div class="post-content"></div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
<?php get_footer();

And at the last put this code into your style.css to style your pagination

.pag_loading {
  padding: 20px;
  background-color: #ccc;
}
.pagination-link ul {
  margin: 0; 
  padding: 0;
}
.pagination-link ul li {
  display: inline; 
  margin: 3px; 
  padding: 4px 8px; 
  background: #FFF; 
  color: black; 
}
.pagination-link ul li.active:hover {
  cursor: pointer;
  background: #1E8CBE; 
  color: white; 
  }
.pagination-link ul li.inactive {
  background: #7E7E7E;
  }
.pagination-link ul li.selected {
  background: #1E8CBE;
  color: white;
}

Now, create one page and select a template “pagination” so you can be show results as below.
