How to create a dynamic pagination in Webflow CMS?

Building a Dynamic Pagination Structure in Webflow CMS

Step 1: Set Up Your Collection

  1. Head over to the CMS Collections section in Webflow. Create a new collection or pick an existing one that you want to paginate.
  2. Make sure you've added all the fields you need for the items that will show up on your paginated list.

Step 2: Add a Collection List

  1. On the page where you want the list, drag the Collection List element from the Add Elements panel.
  2. Link this collection list to the CMS collection you set up in Step 1 by choosing the right collection.

Step 3: Configure Pagination

  1. Click on the Collection List Wrapper.
  2. In the Element Settings panel, check the box for Enable Pagination.
  3. Set up the pagination:
  • Items per page: Decide how many items you want to show on each page.
  • Current Page: Use the pagination component to flip through pages while designing.

Step 4: Design the Collection List Items

  1. Style and tweak the layout of your collection list items to match your design needs.
  2. Add the elements you need (texts, images, links) and link them to the right fields in your CMS collection.
  3. If you need more control over the layout, use Flexbox or Grid CSS.

Step 5: Add Pagination Controls

  1. Below your collection list, add a new Div Block or Section.
  2. Drag the Pagination element from the Add Elements panel into this div or section.
  3. Style the pagination controls (Previous/Next buttons and page numbers) to fit your website's design.

Step 6: Test and Publish

  1. Switch to preview mode and check how the pagination works by clicking through multiple pages of your collection.
  2. Make sure all design elements and pagination controls work smoothly across different pages.
  3. Once you're happy with everything, hit Publish and check the live site to make sure the pagination is working perfectly.
