# How to Add Load More Button in Custom Post Types in Elementor?

A Load More button lets visitors pull in the next batch of posts on demand, without a page reload and without auto-loading everything at once.

Dynamic Listing's **More Post Loading Options** set to **Load More** adds this button below the grid, with its own text for every state.

For the full settings tour of the **Dynamic Listing** widget, see [Dynamic Listing Widget Settings Overview](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/dynamic-listing-widget-settings-overview/).

***Requirement - This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, make sure it's installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.***

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What do I need before adding a Load More button to custom post types in Elementor?**
A: Elementor free has to be installed and active, and the Dynamic Listing widget needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro with its license activated. The widget is not available in the free plugin, so this is a Pro-only setup from POSIMYTH. A common gotcha is forgetting to enable the widget first under The Plus Addons > Widgets, where you search for Dynamic Listing and turn its toggle on.

**Q: Why isn’t the Load More option showing in my Dynamic Listing widget?**
A: The usual blocker is that Dynamic Listing is a Pro widget and will not appear unless The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro is installed, licensed, and active. Another requirement is that the widget itself must be enabled in The Plus Addons > Widgets. If either piece is missing, the More Post Loading Options control won’t be available inside Elementor.

**Q: How does Load More work for custom post types in Elementor?**
A: Load More adds a button below the grid that pulls in the next batch of posts on demand, so visitors do not trigger a page reload and do not auto-load everything at once. In The Plus Addons for Elementor, The Plus Addons, Plus Addons for Elementor, POSIMYTH this behavior comes from setting More Post Loading Options to Load More inside Dynamic Listing. That makes it a good fit when you want controlled browsing instead of dumping every post onto the page.

**Q: What text can I customize on the Load More button?**
A: Dynamic Listing lets you change three pieces of copy: Button Text, Loading Text, and All Posts Loaded Text. The defaults are “Load More,” “Loading...,” and “All done!” respectively. That matters because users need clear state changes while posts are fetching, and the final message tells them when nothing else is left to load.

**Q: How many posts load each time someone clicks Load More?**
A: The setting called More posts on click/scroll controls how many extra posts appear per interaction, and its default value is 4. That number matters because it shapes both pacing and perceived performance: smaller batches feel lighter, while larger batches reveal more content per click. In this setup, the button still stays below the grid and loads the next batch only when requested.

**Q: Should I use Load More, Pagination, or Infinite Scroll for custom post types?**
A: Load More works best when you want visitors to choose when the next batch appears without reloading the page. Pagination fits when you want explicit page-by-page navigation, while Infinite Scroll keeps loading content automatically as users move through the list. The Plus Addons for Elementor provides all three options in Dynamic Listing, and related guides cover [pagination](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/add-pagination-in-custom-post-types-in-elementor/) and [infinite scroll](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/add-infinite-scroll-for-custom-post-types-in-elementor/).
