How to Add Post Pagination in Blogger?
To add post pagination in Blogger, follow the steps given below.
Step-1: Go to Blogger dashboard and Open a blog post in HTML view.
Step-2: Now you have to split the blog posts in the below format.
<div class="page-content">
<div class="page active">
<!--Page 1 content Here-->
</div>
<div class="page">
<!--Page 2 content Here-->
</div>
<div class="page">
<!--Page 3 content Here-->
</div>
</div>Step-3: Here replace the page content in between div classes. (like First page content replaces <!–Page 1 content Here–> )
Step-4: Now paste the pagination button code after all the blog post contents.
<!--Pagination Button-->
<div class="pagination-container">
<div class="page-numbers-container">
</div>
</div>Step-5: Now you have to paste the CSS code in the blog post or in the Theme code.
<style>
/* Post Pagination by Key2Blogging */
.pagination-container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.pagination-container .page-numbers-container {
display: flex;
font-size: 18px;
overflow: hidden;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: "raleway", sans-serif;
border-radius: 20px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}
.page-numbers-container .page-number {
padding: 8px 24px;
transition: all 400ms;
}
.page-numbers-container .page-number:hover {
background: #c5c5e9;
cursor: pointer;
}
.page-numbers-container .page-number.active {
background: #17A589;
color: #fff;
}
/* Page Content */
.page-content .page {
display: none;
}
.page-content .page.active {
display: block;
}
</style>step-6: Now paste the Javascript code just after the CSS code. (needed for Button click)
<script>
const pages = document.querySelectorAll(".page-content .page");
const pageNumbersContainer = document.querySelector(".page-numbers-container");
if (pageNumbersContainer) {
let pn = localStorage.getItem("pageNumber") ? localStorage.getItem("pageNumber") : 0;
const createPagination = () => {
pages.forEach((p, i) => {
const pageNumber = document.createElement("div");
pageNumber.classList.add("page-number");
pageNumber.textContent = i + 1;
pageNumber.addEventListener("click", () => {
localStorage.setItem("pageNumber", i);
location.reload();
})
pageNumbersContainer.appendChild(pageNumber);
})
document.querySelector(".page-number").classList.add("active");
pages[0].classList.add("active");
}
createPagination();
const pageNumbers = document.querySelectorAll(".page-numbers-container .page-number");
const activatePage = (pageNumber) => {
pages.forEach(p => {
p.classList.remove("active");
})
pages[pageNumber].classList.add("active");
pageNumbers.forEach(p => {
p.classList.remove("active");
})
pageNumbers[pageNumber].classList.add("active");
localStorage.removeItem("pageNumber");
history.scrollRestoration = "manual";
}
activatePage(pn);
}
