Load More Button

The Load More button allows visitors to manually load additional images without refreshing the page.

Instead of traditional pagination, users click a button to reveal more gallery items.

This feature is available in both:

  • Classic Gallery (v3)
  • Fusion Gallery (v5)

Classic Gallery (v3)

In Classic version, the Load More button is configured inside:

Navigation → Pagination


Step 1: Enable Load More Mode

Classic Menu Options

Inside Pagination, select:

  • Load More

This replaces traditional numbered pagination.


Step 2: Configure Image Amount

Classic Loading Options

  • Images Per Page – number of images shown initially
  • Load More Amount – number of images loaded after each click

For example:

  • Initial load: 12 images
  • Load More Amount: 8 images per click

Step 3: Customize Button Labels

Inside Loading Text tab you can edit:

  • Loading Label
