[Support request] Adding Pagination to a Custom Page Template

[Daniel]

I have a custom page template on my homepage that uses get_query to list pages. I would like to add numbered pagination. Is there a way to add the pagination function within GeneratePress to my custom page? I tried to use the the_posts_pagination function below and it did not work.

Is there any way do do this, or is the function unsupported on custom pages?

<?php /* Template Name: MarketCap */ ?>
    
// Gets theme header
<?php get_header(); ?>
// Queries for pages and orders results by market cap rank
<?php
global $post;
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 0;

$postsPerPage = 100;
$postOffset = $paged * $postsPerPage;

$args_page = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'offset'          => $postOffset,
'posts_per_page'  => $postsPerPage,
'meta_key'			=> 'market_cap_rank',
'orderby'			=> 'meta_value_num',
'order'=>'ASC'
);
// Shows pages in table format
$postslist = new WP_Query( $args_page ); ?>
  <table><thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Rank </th>
      <th>Company</th>
    <th>Market Cap (USD)</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
    <?php if ( $postslist->have_posts() ) :
        while ( $postslist->have_posts() ) : $postslist->the_post(); ?>
            
    <tbody>
           <tr>
            <td><?php the_field('market_cap_rank'); ?></td>
			<td><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?> </a> </td>
         
                    <td>$<?php the_field('market_cap_usd_trillion'); ?></td>
   // Menu page links                
        <?php endwhile; 
	the_posts_pagination( array(
	    'end_size' => 2,
	    'mid_size' => apply_filters( 'generate_pagination_mid_size', 1 ),
            'prev_text' => apply_filters( 'generate_previous_link_text', __( '&larr; Previous', 'generatepress' ) ),
	    'next_text' => apply_filters( 'generate_next_link_text', __( 'Next &rarr;', 'generatepress' ) ),
	) );
wp_reset_postdata();
        endif;
?>
 </tr></tbody></table>
        // <?php  wp_pagenavi( array( 'query' => $q ) );
        //wp_reset_postdata();
       // endif;

//?>
    
    	<?php
	/**
	 * generate_after_primary_content_area hook.
	 *
	 * @since 2.0
	 */
	do_action( 'generate_after_primary_content_area' );

	generate_construct_sidebars();

	get_footer();
?>

Thank you very much!

Hi Daniel,

For reference, this is how that’s function is called in GP: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/adfe090929b0515cdf894f4c6b722cfe8c0790dc/inc/structure/post-meta.php#:~:text=%27the_posts_pagination%27%20)%20)%20%7B-,the_posts_pagination(,-array(

You can also try adding do_action( 'generate_paging_navigation' );, then create a Block Element – Post Navigation: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-post-navigation/

Here’s another alternative: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_posts_pagination/
