Shop/Category Page Pagination Starting from Page 2 Instead of Page 1
-
Hello,
I am experiencing a pagination issue on my WoodMart store. When visiting a category or shop page, the pagination starts from page 2 instead of page 0 or page 1.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate to any category page (e.g. Men’s deals)
2. The URL or pagination indicator shows page 2 as the starting page
3. Page 1 is either skipped or inaccessible
Expected behavior:
Pagination should always start from page 1.
Actual behavior:
Pagination starts from page 2, causing confusion and potentially missing products for customers.
Environment:
– Theme: WoodMart
– Plugin: WooCommerce
– The issue appears on mobile view (screenshot attached)
Please advise on how to fix this. Could this be related to the WoodMart AJAX pagination settings or a WordPress reading settings conflict?
Thank you.

Hello,
This is not a bug in WoodMart.
In WordPress/WooCommerce, pagination always starts from page 1 — there is no page 0. So page 1 is the default and is usually not shown in the URL. Page 1 is the initial shop load. When the user scrolls and more products are loaded dynamically, the next batch is shown as Page 2, Page 3, etc.
So the “Page 2” you are seeing is not the first page being skipped — it simply represents the next set of products loaded after the initial Page 1 content.
If you want to disable this, Navigate to Theme Settings > Product archive > Products Grid > disable the Keep the page number in the URL.
If you have any questions feel free to contact us.
Best Regards
