Change the list of per-page options shoppers can choose #

To customize the products per page options in Number of Products per Page – Pagination Manager for WooCommerce Pro, go to WPFactory > Products per Page, edit Select options in the Select Options block with one Title|Number entry per line (use -1 for all products), set the Default option, and save. The free version uses a fixed list.

Before you start #

Edit the options #

  1. Go to WPFactory > Products per Page (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Products per Page).
  2. In the Select Options block, edit Select options (option id alg_products_per_page_select_options).
  3. Enter one option per line in Title|Number format. Use -1 for all products.
  4. Set Default option (option id alg_products_per_page_default) to the number you want pre-selected.
  5. Save changes.

Products per Page editable Select options field

Example #

12|12
24|24
48|48
Show all|-1

This shows four choices labeled 12, 24, 48 and “Show all”. The title on the left is what shoppers see; the number on the right is how many products load.

Note: the title and number are separated by a vertical bar, in that order. A common mistake is to reverse them: write All|-1, not -1|All. Avoid setting a very large value or -1 as the default on big catalogs, since loading every product at once slows the page.

Default option value #

The Default option is free and controls what a first-time visitor sees before choosing. Set it to any number from your list, for example 24.
