WordPress Member Directory Plugin (CMED) - Advanced - Pagination

Advanced - Pagination

Note: this feature was introduced in version 1.8.3.

Introduction

Pagination in the WordPress Member Directory plugin is enabled by default. It's needed to not slow down the work of your site if the list of experts is too huge. How many experts are displayed on any page depends on the plugin settings. To configure it navigate to Admin Dashboard → CM Expert Directory Pro → Settings → Expert Directory → Expert Index Header section. You can define number of experts in the option Number of experts on page.

In some cases it can be useful to disable or enable pagination. You can do this using an attribute show_pagination for the shortcode [cmed_expert] . Set its value to 0 if you want to disable pagination for expert list (will be shown 100 experts maximum). Default value is 1.

Enable: [cmed_expert show_pagination="1"]
Disable: [cmed_expert show_pagination="0"]

Example

The plugin supports placing multiple copies of Expert Directory Shortcode [cmed_expert] on the post/page. It can be useful in some cases.

Example:

You need to display the list of experts that belong to the definite taxonomy: [cmed_expert expertise="financial-expertise"]

And under or above it display a list of all existings experts: [cmed_expert]

So, the shortcode will be: [cmed_expert expertise="financial-expertise" show_pagination="0"]
