Hi. I'm trying to add pagination to a category page. The only content on the page will be different boxes from the same box set. I would like to show only 15 boxes per paginated page and show the next 15 on the next paginated page and so on.

Is there a way to this?

As for now the pagination works but I always see only the first 15 boxes over and over again on every paginated page.

Thanks.

Hi there, I'm not 100% sure on what you mean. Do you have posts on this page as well as boxes? Pagination as far as I'm aware doesn't work on boxes sets only posts. If you're looking to achieve that type of effect have you tried using the post pins section?

Because this uses posts to populate the post pins you'll be able to use the pagination http://www.pagelines.com/store/sections/pagelines-postpins/

Kindly search the forum and read the documentation before posting. It will help you resolve many issues.

For CSS help be sure to check out W3Schools first and be sure to download FireBug for FireFox for troubleshooting.

Hmm, I may be using the wrong technique...

What I am trying to create is basically a photo gallery with multiple pages, 15 boxes ( thumbs) per page. Every picture is a different post.

Basically I would like my posts to appear as thumbs on my category page, something like here http://sousstyle.com/recipes/breakfast-brunch/ but without the text underneath.

Would that be possible with postpins or can you suggest something else? Thank you!

PostPins is designed to display posts rather than set up a photo gallery with multiple pages. If you're leaning toward a photo gallery, you may want to try using a gallery plugin instead (one that allows you view full images in new pages). You can search for plugins here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

Thank you for responding Catrina!

I would like to achieve this same look only without the text underneath http://sousstyle.com/recipes/breakfast-brunch/ for each page.

I prefer that every picture is an individual post because I'd like to use the comment and share option.

I have looked for gallery plugins but I have not found anything like it... maybe I should look more.

Do PostPins have the option to show only the picture itself without the grey frame and the text underneath? Thank you again!

Hi,

Basically the Pagination only works for posts and pages. If you wish to create a photo gallery you will need to use a plugin that offers this kind of functionality. Therefore, as Catrina suggested above, you will need to browser the Wordpress plugin repository.

I would recommend you take a look at Nextgen Gallery - http://wordpress.org...extgen-gallery/

PostPins has been designed to display Posts using the Feature Image and excerpt and not designed for images only.

Please search our forums, before posting!

      SSL error due to Section Boxes
      By yemoonyah+
      Hi, even though I just got a SSL certificate, I can't get the green padlock to appear due to the following error:
      :A file with an insecure url of "http://yemoonyah.com/wp-content/plugins/pl-section-boxes/check.svg" was loaded via the javascript file: https://yemoonyah.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.12.4 on line 3. The insecure URL may not be directly contained in the script file and may exist elsewhere."
      I figured if I delete and re-install the plugin it might fix the problem but will my boxes on the website still be there? Or do I have to redesign everything all over again if I delete the plugin and then re-install it?

      Post/Page Pagination Not Working
      By Perry+
      Hi,
      I've added the Post/Page pagination section to the bottom of the blog category page on the dev site here (see screenshot): http://dianef.sandboxes.online/category/intention-and-invention-blog/ but it is giving me the message "Post/Page Pagination is hidden or returned no output", and when viewing the page in another browser, I see nothing.
      Does anyone have an idea why this might be?
       
      Your help is much appreciated in advance.
       
      Thank you,
      Perry

      wpml loops category: it doesn't work anymore
      By JP+
      Hello,
      We are working on a 2 languages site (https://liguecardioliga.be) with wpml, and lately the call of a category in the loops section (and all the sections requiring a category to select posts) doesn't work in the translated language. It worked well until recently so I wonder if it's because of a recent update (wordpress, wpml, pagelines, a plugin?). Anyone has the same problem? a solution?
      TIA

      Boxes left images cutoff looks bad
      By Audun MB+

      Here:http://attac.no/global-ulikhet/
      The images are forced into a boxed frame so that you can't see the whole picture. Doesn't look so good. Is this a bug? A feature? How can I fix it?
