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

Inside Pagination, select:
- Load More
This replaces traditional numbered pagination.
Step 2: Configure Image Amount

Adjust:
- 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
- Load More Label
- No More Entries Label
This allows full customization of the button text.
Fusion Gallery (v5)
In Fusion version, go to:
Navigation → Pagination

Step 1: Select Load More
Inside Pagination mode:

Choose:
- Load More
This activates the Load More button behavior.
Step 2: Configure Images Per Page
Set:
- Images Per Page
Fusion automatically loads the next batch when the button is clicked.
How Load More Works
- Gallery loads the initial set of images.
- A Load More button appears at the bottom.

- Button disappears when all images are shown.
No page refresh required.
