The WooCommerce pagination plugin provides three different pagination options to help you improve your website’s catalog browsing experience. Replace your current pagination with:
<ul>
<li>Infinite scroll ― load more products as customers scroll down the page.</li>
<li>Ajax pagination ― enable Ajax pagination to load more products without page reloads.</li>
<li>Load More button ― add an Ajax-based Load More button and allow customers to load more products with one click, without refreshing pages.</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wccom-product-heading__hr" />
Provide customers with WooCommerce pagination, infinite scroll, or load more buttons so that your customers no longer need to reload pages to navigate through the product catalog. Display ‘back-to-top” and “show less” buttons and make it easy for customers to scroll back to the top.
Customers can easily navigate through the entire catalog by using one of three pagination methods provided by the WooCommerce product pagination plugin. It will improve website engagement and retention by decreasing load times and making content browsing seamless.

<h3>Display Load More button</h3>
Instead of loading products on a scroll or with pagination, you can place an Ajax-based Load More button to let customers load more products with a single click. The WooCommerce pagination plugin allows you to upload the product loading icon and customize the text of the “Load More” button.

</ul>
<h3>Let’s get started! </h3>
So let’s get started! You have installed Avalon23 on your website. After activating the plugin, you will see a menu for accessing the main settings:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/398-1.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-396" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/398-1.png" alt="" width="872" height="243" /></a>
On the settings page you can add a filter:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-2.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-398" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-2.png" alt="" width="908" height="170" /></a>
Each filter has its own <a href="https://avalon23.dev/document/avalon23/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shortcode</a> that can be inserted into the content to display the filter, or you can use a<a href="https://avalon23.dev/document/widget/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> widget</a>. You can also add a title to quickly find the filter (this title is not displayed at the front).
To add elements to the filter, for example, filter by price, by category, etc., click on the “gear” icon:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-3.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-399" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-3.png" alt="" width="389" height="149" /></a>
Now you can add <a href="https://avalon23.dev/document/standard-filters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">standard filters</a>, filters by <a href="https://avalon23.dev/document/filter-by-taxonomies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">taxonomy</a> or <a href="https://avalon23.dev/document/filter-by-meta-data/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">metafields</a>
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-4.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-401 size-full" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-4.gif" alt="" width="800" height="354" /></a>
Filters can be activated or deactivated to hide or show them at the front. You can read more about the settings <a href="https://avalon23.dev/document/filter-item/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>
Note: if you do not see the options fields (like on the demo site) “color”, “size”, “location”, etc. are taxonomies. Just create an attribute with this name.
Now you can show these filters using a<a href="https://avalon23.dev/document/widget/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> widget</a> or <a href="https://avalon23.dev/document/avalon23/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shortcode</a>
When you see the first result, you can go to the main setting of this filter:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-5.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-402" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-5.png" alt="" width="756" height="308" /></a>
In this tab, you can configure the filter so that it performs a search on the first click (autosubmit) on the filter element:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-6.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-403" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-6.png" alt="" width="602" height="44" /></a>
Or you can make a filtration in Ajax mode:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-7.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-404" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-7.png" alt="" width="587" height="63" /></a>
Or you can hide filters that give zero products in the current search query:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-8.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-405 size-full" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-8.png" alt="" width="526" height="82" /></a>

Congratulations, you’ve learned the basic filter settings!
<h3>Further, we recommend reading useful information that will help improve your filter and make your site more attractive and user-friendly:</h3>
<hr />
WordPress has a huge number of themes, and each theme has its own styles and colors. Each owner wants a unique design, wanting to make their business stand out. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make filter styles to fit all themes. For this, we have developed functionality that will help you choose filter styles for your theme.
You can easily change the color scheme of the filter to suit your website design:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-9.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-406" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-9.png" alt="" width="398" height="244" /></a>
You can see examples<a href="https://demo.avalon23.dev/skins/?av23_pa_season=24&av23_filter_id=11&av23_pa_color=71&av23_product_cat=80&av23_pa_size=74&av23_on_sale=1&av23_price=2:77" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> here</a>

It is sometimes very useful to create a page with a specific set of products to highlight them for the buyer. For example, discounted products, or products from a specific category, or a specific color and size, or a specific author. And even if you don’t have many products, it’s better to add a filter to this page. In order for the plugin to show only relevant filters, use the Predefinition setting:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-10.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-407" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-10.png" alt="" width="854" height="286" /></a>

<hr />
Over time, the assortment of even a small store grows, and you already start dealing with a large number of products, and more resources are spent on filtering. This slows down page loading even for powerful servers. But the number of taxonomies (attributes and categories) affects the loading speed even more. Therefore, you should pay attention to optimization so that slow filtering does not annoy customers, and this does not lead to lost sales. We have developed a number of settings to help solve this problem.
You can optimize filtering. This option is useful in the “First level of optimization” main setting tab if there are many filters by meta fields:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-11.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-408" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-11.png" alt="" width="965" height="48" /></a>“Advanced optimization” – this setting caches all your filters and reduces the number of database queries:<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-12.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-409" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-12.png" alt="" width="954" height="42" /></a>
Optimization of loading JS and CSS files:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-14.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-411 size-full" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-14.png" alt="" width="397" height="48" /></a>
A lot of resources are wasted on dynamic recalculation, because a query is made to the database for each filter element. This is necessary in order to receive up-to-date data for the counters. To optimize this process, you can turn off dynamic recalculation for unimportant filters. <a href="https://demo.avalon23.dev/dynamic-recount/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Example here</a>
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-13.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-410 size-full" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-13.gif" alt="" width="640" height="300" /></a>

<hr />
Our plugin has different types of filters like drop-down, slider, checkbox, color, etc. Since you can have a different number of checkboxes or, for example, a different slider range, in order for the filter to look more compact and, also, for the convenience of the user, you can arrange the filter elements in columns of different widths, and in turn, the width of these columns will be depend on device screen width:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-15.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-414" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-15.png" alt="" width="845" height="222" /></a>
You can display some types of filters in a compact form (drop-down list) in the filter element settings:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-16.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-415" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-16.png" alt="" width="596" height="107" /></a>
This is how it should work:
<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-17.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-416 size-full" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-17.gif" alt="" width="572" height="470" /></a>
You can see an <a href="https://demo.avalon23.dev/filter-pattern-depending-on-the-device/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">example here</a>
<hr />
Depending on the type of commercial activity of your store, different filtering logic may be required. For example, you are selling food and you want to exclude products by ingredient so that the user can see products that do not cause him allergies. In this case, the logic “NOT IN” will be useful.
Or, for example, you sell electronic devices. And the user must receive a product that contains all the selected technologies (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 5G). In this case, “AND” logic will be useful.
This option is available for filters by taxonomy:<a href="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-17.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-417" src="https://avalon23.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/394-17.png" alt="" width="341" height="68" /></a>
IN – will show all products that have at least one of the selected terms.
AND – will show the products that have all the selected terms.
NOT IN – will show all products that do not have the selected terms.
You can see an <a href="https://demo.avalon23.dev/filter-logic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">example here</a>
