It replaces the traditional `Previous` `Next` and numbered pagination, with a customizable,` Load More` button. ### Instructions To use this plugin, you must first add the Query Loop block into your post content, then add the Pagination block inside the Query Loop. When working with the Pagination block, you will see new options to enable load more on the block. The load more option allows you to set a loading text parameter and also the button text. The load more button works with the alignment options and arrow options of the pagination block. Here is how to enable the load more option: 1. Add the Query Loop block to your post content. 2. Inside the Query Loop block, add the Pagination block. 3. In the Pagination block settings, enable the “Load More” option. 4. Set the loading text parameter and the button text. 5. Customize the alignment and arrow options if desired. That’s it! Your visitors can now load more posts by clicking the load more button without refreshing the page. ### Customization Options * **Alignment**: Use standard block editor settings to set the alignment of the load more button * **Button**: Choose the button option for users to click to load more posts * **Button Text**: Customize the load more button text * **Loading Text**: Customize the text for the post loading state * **Infinite Scroll**: Choose this option to allow new posts to load automatically when users reach the bottom of the feed * **Color**: Customize the color of the load more button and the loading state icon when using the infinite scroll option * **Update URL**: Choose this option to update the browser’s URL when loading more posts ## Screenshots * [[ * **Block Editor – Loading state animation** * [[ * **Frontend – Posts loading with button** * [[ * **Frontend – Infinite scroll post** ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/query-loop-load-more` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2.

It’s well integrated with the Query Loop block and is easy to implement. The default styling is sufficient in most cases, so I haven’t worried too much about manipulating it into my themes. 10/10 😻 [ Read all 2 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/query-loop-load-more/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Query Loop Load More” is open source software.
