Smart Pagination PRO is a lightweight and flexible WordPress plugin that allows you to create fully customizable frontend pagination using a simple shortcode — without page reloads.
Unlike traditional pagination systems, this plugin gives you full control from the WordPress dashboard, enabling you to create multiple pagination instances and manage their behavior, design, and structure independently.
🚀 Features ✅ Create unlimited pagination instances from dashboard ✅ Shortcode-based usage: [smart_pagination id="123"] ✅ No page reload (pure JavaScript pagination) ✅ Auto-detects target container (no wrapper required) ✅ Conflict-proof (multiple paginations on same page supported) ✅ Editable page number input ✅ Toggle First / Last buttons ✅ Custom items per page ✅ Fully dynamic settings from admin panel 🎨 Design Controls Primary color Text color Border color
All styling options are controlled via the dashboard — no coding required.
⚙️ Behavior Controls Enable/Disable editable page number Show/Hide first & last navigation buttons Dynamic pagination logic 🧠 How It Works Create a new pagination from Smart Pagination → Add New Configure: Target container selector Item selector Items per page Copy the generated shortcode Paste it below your content container
Example:
Item 1 Item 2[smart_pagination id="1"]
The plugin will automatically detect the correct container and apply pagination.
