Is it possible to have the number of posts shown with Next and Previous Pagination Controls?

So I want pagination to show Next X posts where X is the value of posts to be shown.

Of course I could write the pagination size like 15 in the code after [wpv-pager-next-page] but that would not always be correct if there are less than 15 items in the last pagination.

Hi, this isn't currently possible with Toolset but I think you may be able to use a custom shortcode. Please add the following code to functions.php:

add_shortcode( 'custom_page_results_count', 'custom_page_results_count_func');
function custom_page_results_count_func($atts)
{
  $direction = intval($atts['direction']);
  $numresults = $atts['numresults'];
  $currentpage = $atts['currentpage'];
  $postsperpage = $atts['postsperpage'];
  $numberofpages = $atts['numpages'];
  if($currentpage + $direction == $numberofpages) {
    $mod = $numresults % $postsperpage;
    return $mod ? $mod : $postsperpage;
  }
  return $postsperpage;
}

Then in your Filter editor, place your custom shortcode like so for Previous results:

[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Previous [custom_page_results_count direction="-1" numresults="[wpv-found-count]" currentpage="[wpv-pager-current-page]" postsperpage="5" numpages="[wpv-pager-total-pages]"] Results[/wpml-string]

Replace the postsperpage value with the number of posts per page as found in your View's pagination settings.

Note the direction "-1" for previous results - we'll use "1" for next results.

Then you can place the same custom shortcode with direction="1" like so for Next results:

[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Next [custom_page_results_count direction="1" numresults="[wpv-found-count]" currentpage="[wpv-pager-current-page]" postsperpage="5" numpages="[wpv-pager-total-pages]"] Results[/wpml-string]

Again, replace the postsperpage value with the number of posts per page.
