The <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/" rel="ugc">Jetpack</a> plugin by Automattic does something sneaky: it auto-activates new Jetpack modules. Instead of allowing you to opt in to new modules, Jetpack cheerfully activates them without your permission. These modules can change how your site works and looks.
Manual Control puts a stop to that unwanted behavior. It prevents auto-activation of new Jetpack modules.

Manual Control for Jetpack

Jetpack auto-activates new modules, without asking your permission. This plugin stops that.

This plugin is designed to create a convenient page for pagination settings for the main wordpress entities, including custom types. 
You can only work with the main wordpress query using the “pre_get_posts” hook. Other requests are ignored, which eliminates conflicts with the current theme settings. When developing the plugin, the emphasis was placed on maximum simplicity and minimalism. 
After installation, the plugin must be configured. To do this, go to the “Easy Pagination Control” tab and set the desired number of elements on the page for each entity. 
The plugin was created in order to have more control over the number of elements on pages within the main WP query, since by default, WP offers to specify the number of elements for all pages at once. 
*Since version 1.1.0, Customizer support has been added, so you can now configure pagination directly in the frontend 
*Since version 1.1.2, the public function easy_pagination_control_get_ppp($Entity) has been added. As an argument, it gets the name of the entity (‘Front-Page’, ‘Home’, ‘categories’, ‘Tags’, ‘Search’, or post type’s slug, or taxonomy’s slug). Returns the number of elements on the page.
