Hi,
I’m using the Newspaper theme and I have a question regarding pagination on category pages.
On my category template I’m using Flex Block 1. In the block settings I can only see AJAX‑based pagination options (Load More, Infinite Load, Next/Prev). However, I would like to use classic numbered pagination instead, for example:
1 2 3 4 …
This is important for SEO, because numbered pagination allows Google to crawl and index deeper category pages (/page/2, /page/3, etc.), while AJAX loading does not.
My question is:
Is there any way to enable traditional numbered pagination on a category page that uses Flex Block 1?
Do I need to switch to a different block or template, or is there a setting that disables AJAX and restores standard pagination?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Here is an example of my category page where I would like to enable standard pagination:

Hi,
I see you use a block in the category page, and it has a load more button. Blocks only have these types of pagination https://i.imgur.com/YacAOel.png
If maybe you need numbered pagination, then you can use a post loop instead of a block https://i.imgur.com/KWrjERk.png
Thanks.
Hi,
thanks for the clarification!
I understand that blocks only support AJAX‑based pagination and that I need to use a post loop to enable classic numbered pagination.
I can see two different elements in the Cloud Library:
Post Loop
Post Loop 2
Could you please explain which one should be used for category pages and what is the difference between these two loops?
Thanks again for your help!
Hi,
Both of them cna be used; the only difference between posts loop and posts loop 2 is in design/layout. In the rest, both elements have the same functionalities.
All about those 2 posts loop elements can be seen in our guide form here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/posts-loop/
