[Resolved] pagination for GP custom page template

[manu]

I have a custom template based on the page template of the Generate press theme.
This template displays all custom posts created by a user when that user is logged in. The custom posts display Advanced custom fields (ACF). All is well but I can’t figure out how can I use Generate press theme to add pagination to this template. If post_per_page is not set, 10 posts will display with no pagination links. I set the post_per_page 25 for now so the user can see all posts.

Below is a reduced version of my custom template. Thanks!

 <?php
 /*Template name: my guitars

 * The template for displaying all pages.
 *
 * This is the template that displays all pages by default.
 * Please note that this is the WordPress construct of pages
 * and that other 'pages' on your WordPress site will use a
 * different template.
 *
 * @package GeneratePress

Note: I tried GP Show Posts, but couldn’t limit the posts per logged in user.

I used this to add paging to my custom post:

If someone knows a better way please post. Thanks

That looks like a good solution.

This function might be worth looking at as well: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_posts_pagination

[manu]

Thanks Tom! I’ll try that too!

[Tom]

No problem 🙂
