Pagination

On the Pixabay.com website, we’re definitely favoring paginated search results, but we do get the wish for endless scrolling from time to time. In the WP plugin, I think it’s a draw, which one is the better choice. You can always refine your search terms to only get what you really want.

It’s very unlikely that we’ll implement an option to choose between the two navigation types. It would involve a rather complex code base. However, if several users join in and also prefer pagination over infinite scrolling, we can always revert back.

For the time being, if pagination is important to you, you may downgrade to the plugin version 2.15, which you can download from here:

“Version 2” is the link you should be looking for in this blog post.

Thanks for your feedback!

Kind regards, Simon

The reason for changing to infinite scroll was mainly: trying out new things, experimenting and seeing what works better and what is preferred by you and other users.

We have infinite scrolling in our mobile apps for Pixabay – and that’s a good choice. The plugin seemed a bit like the mobile app. It’s not a full browser window, where the search results are displayed, so there’s rather limited space.

Cheers, Simon

Thanks 🙂
