If a visitor clicks Load More a few times and then copies the address, you usually want the person they send it to see the same logos.
The Clients widget can write the number of batches loaded into the page address, so the link reproduces the view.

Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
Before You Start
- Edition: Pro — the Clients widget is free, but Post Loading Options and URL Enable needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro.
- Widget to enable: Clients, under The Plus Addons > Widgets. Elementor shows it in the Listing group.
- Prerequisite: more client entries than Maximum Posts Display. With 8 clients and Maximum Posts Display left at its default of 8 there is nothing left to load, so no control appears.
Set up the Load More button first
- Edit the page with Elementor and select the Clients widget.
- In Layout, pick Grid or Masonry and leave Select Source on Post Type.
- Under Content Source, set Maximum Posts Display below your number of clients.
- Open More Post Options and click Load More under Post Loading Options. Set More posts on click/scroll to the size of each extra batch.
Turn on URL Enable
- Open the Extra Options section of the Content tab.
- Switch URL Enable to Show. It only appears once Post Loading Options is set to Load More.
- Update the page and open it on the front end.
How It Behaves
Verified on a page with eight clients, Maximum Posts Display 3 and More posts on click/scroll 2:
| Step | Logos on the page | What the address bar shows |
|---|---|---|
| Page opened | 3 | the plain page address |
| First click of Load More | 5 | the page address plus a batch counter ending in =1 |
| Second click | 7 | the same counter, now =2 |
| That address opened fresh | 7 | unchanged |
- The address changes without the page reloading, so the visitor never loses their place.
- The parameter carries the widget's own id, so two client listings on the same page keep separate counters and do not disturb each other.
- Opening the shared link loads all the batches in one go, so the recipient sees the same number of logos immediately.
Limitations
- URL Enable needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, and it only appears with Load More or with the category filter set to AJAX.
- The shared link reproduces how many logos were loaded, not which ones. If clients are added or the order changes, the same link shows a different set.
- The category-filter version of this feature does not work in 6.5.0 — see the related doc.
- It does nothing with Lazy Load, which writes nothing into the address.
Troubleshooting
URL Enable is not in the panel
Set Post Loading Options to Load More first. The switch is hidden until then.
The address never changes
Check the switch is on and the page has been updated, and click the button on the published page rather than in the editor preview.
The shared link shows fewer logos
The counter is a number of batches, not a list of clients. If Maximum Posts Display or More posts on click/scroll changed after the link was copied, the link resolves to a different number of logos.
