Hi,
Pagination seems not working on forums.
I cleared the cache, but that didn't change anything. When clicking "Next" or "Page 2..," page 1 always appears instead.
I worked around the issue by increasing the number of posts displayed in the forums.
Hi reitonas,
Thanks for reporting this issue! Pagination problems can be really frustrating, especially when they persist after clearing the cache. Based on what you've described, here's a step-by-step approach to help diagnose and resolve the pagination issue:
Step 1: Check for Plugin Conflicts
I noticed from related forum content that you're running several plugins including WP Rocket for caching. Caching plugins can sometimes interfere with pagination functionality. Try these steps:
- Temporarily disable WP Rocket and test if pagination works
- If it works without WP Rocket, you may need to exclude forum pages from caching or adjust your cache settings
- Also temporarily deactivate other plugins like EWWW Image Optimizer and WP Mail SMTP Pro to isolate the conflict
Step 2: Clear All Cache Types
Since you mentioned clearing the cache didn't help, try a more thorough approach:
- Clear your WordPress site cache (via your caching plugin)
- Clear your browser cache completely (or test in an incognito/private window)
- Flush any server-level cache if available through your hosting provider
Your workaround of increasing posts per page is a solid temporary solution, but we should get pagination working properly for you. Have you noticed if the pagination issue affects all forum categories or just specific ones? Also, are you seeing any JavaScript errors in your browser console when you click the "Next" button?
Hi,
We don't use wp rocket or EWWW Image Optimizer. But workaround of increasing posts per page is a solid temporary solution. Home page ou category page refreshes instead of displaying the next page.
