The Number of Products per Page – Pagination Manager for WooCommerce plugin builds the selector from a text template with placeholders, plus a few styling fields. This reference lists every placeholder and styling option in Products per Page, with its exact behavior.
These fields live in the Template Options block at WPFactory > Products per Page (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Products per Page).
Placeholders #
| Placeholder | Outputs |
|---|---|
%from% |
The first product number shown on the current page |
%to% |
The last product number shown on the current page |
%total% |
The total number of matching products |
%dropdown% |
The selector as an HTML <select> dropdown |
%radio% |
The selector as a set of radio buttons |
%select_form% |
Deprecated alias of %dropdown%. Use %dropdown% instead |
The default template is: Products <strong>%from% - %to%</strong> from <strong>%total%</strong>. Products on page %dropdown%. Include either %dropdown% or %radio% so shoppers have a control to interact with.
