Then from the More posts on click/scroll field, you can set how many posts will load at once on the button click.

You can also manage the button typography, color, background, border etc.

Depending on the number of custom posts you have and the number set in the Maximum Posts Display field, you’ll see a load more button on your custom post type listing.

Note: To show the load more button, you must set a lower number in the Maximum Posts Display field than the total number of custom posts.
