How to Configure the Pagination Controls in Magento 2

The Pagination Controls is the format from Magento 2 for the product listing. You can set the number of links that appear in the control, and configure the Next and Previous links. To appear the pagination link, it is required when the number of products that need to be shown is greater than the permitted amount in the product list settings.

After setting the pagination control, your customers can get the control at the top and bottom of the product list. Thus, Configuring the Pagination Controls is one of the smart ways to make the performance of your site more professional.

Set up the pagination controls

• On the Admin Panel, Stores > Settings > Configuration.
• On the left panel, under General, select Design.

• Open the Pagination section, and do as the following:

  

  • In the Pagination Frame field, enter the number of link that will be shown in the pagination control.
  • In the Pagination Frame Skip field, enter the number of links that are skipped ahead before showing the next set of links in the pagination control. For example, you insert the number 4 in this field, the last link of the previous set is the first link of the next set of link.
  • In the Anchor Text for Previous field, write the text that will display along with the Previous link. If the field is empty, apply the default arrow for that.
  • In the Anchor Text for Next field, write the text that will display along with the Next link. If the field is empty, apply the default arrow for that.
• Save Config to complete.
