'Next Page' not appearing when using posts_per_page="5"

    I’m using the following shortcode to display the 5 most recent posts or category ‘crafts’:
    [display-posts category="crafts" include_content="true" posts_per_page="5" wrapper="div"]
    …on this page:
    https://paulroper.com/crafts-vintage/
    And it successfully displays the first five posts. But I actually have 8 posts with the category ‘crafts’, and I assumed there should be a ‘Next’ or ‘More’ or a Page 1 | Page 2 kind of thing at the end. But there isn’t.

    I have tweaked the CSS and functions.php of this site considerably, so may have inadvertently broken something, but I’ve hunted around and can’t find anything obvious. Could it be a WordPress 4.2.2 compatibility problem?

    I’ve just tried removing my style.css and functions.php files from my child theme, but that did not fix the missing ‘next page’.

    What you’re seeing is the proper functionality of this plugin. Display Posts Shortcode does not support pagination, and that is by design. posts_per_page lets you specify the number of posts that will be displayed on the page.

    If you’d like a paginated list of posts in that category, I recommend you customize the category archive. Ex: https://paulroper.com/category/crafts/

    Thanks. I will do that instead (customize the category archive).
