In a view, I would like to have toolset display: "1-10 of 100 records" on the first page of results and then "11-20 of 100 records" on the next page etc etc ...
"[wpv-items-count] of [wpv-found-count] Items" will always display "10 of 100 Items" so how do I display the start - stop count for each specific page of results returned?
thx
Hi,
Welcome to Toolset support. There is no built-in shortcode for the per-page range. [wpv-items-count] returns the number of items on the current page, and [wpv-found-count] the total before pagination, so you need the first/last index calculated from the View’s query.
Add this to your child theme’s functions.php or to a new snippet in Toolset → Settings → Custom Code:
/**
* [wpv-items-range] - outputs "11 - 20" for the current page of a View loop.
*/
add_shortcode( 'wpv-items-range', function( $atts ) {
$atts = shortcode_atts( array( 'separator' => ' - ' ), $atts );
$query = apply_filters( 'wpv_filter_wpv_get_post_query', null );
if ( ! $query instanceof WP_Query || 0 === (int) $query->post_count ) {
return '';
}
$per_page = (int) $query->get( 'posts_per_page' );
$paged = max( 1, (int) $query->get( 'paged' ) );
if ( $per_page < 1 ) {
$per_page = (int) $query->post_count;
$paged = 1;
}
$first = ( ( $paged - 1 ) * $per_page ) + 1;
$last = $first + (int) $query->post_count - 1;
return $first . $atts['separator'] . $last;
} );
Then in the View’s loop output:
Showing [wpv-items-range] of [wpv-found-count] records.
Notes:
- Place the shortcode inside [wpv-items-found], outside <wpv-loop>.
- Separator is optional: [wpv-items-range separator=" to "].
- This covers post queries. For a View querying users or taxonomy terms, the counts come from wpv_filter_wpv_get_user_query / wpv_filter_wpv_get_taxonomy_query instead.

The custom code suggested above is not part of our official support policy. We will not be able to maintain or guarantee that it will work. It is an attempt to help you understand what should be done for scenarios where the built-in Toolset features are not there to handle your request.
Thanks.
ok. So I added the Snippet but when I click on "Save and Test" or "Save and Close" I get the message (error)
That message is generic. It appears whenever the save request fails, without saying why, so we need to find the real reason.
Three things to check, quickest first.
1. Copy the code again. If the forum's line numbers came along with it, the file is invalid PHP and the save will fail. The code should start with `/**` and there should be no digits at the start of the lines.
2. Open `wp-config.php` and look for these:
```
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true );
```
If either is there and set to true, Toolset cannot write snippets. Many hosts add them.
3. Check that `wp-content/toolset-customizations/` exists and is writable by the web server. Toolset stores each snippet as a real PHP file there.
If all three look fine, please send me the server's answer: open the browser console on the Custom Code screen, go to the Network tab, click Save again, and copy the response of the failing request. Also check `wp-content/debug.log` if you have `WP_DEBUG_LOG` on.
In the meantime you can put the same code in your child theme's `functions.php`. It works the same way and skips this screen entirely.
