Last product per search result page empty

Hi Nobunaga,

You actually have pagination set to 8 products per page for WooCommerce search results and 12 products per page for category archives. FiboSearch doesn’t affect pagination, so the issue lies elsewhere, outside the plugin. I’ll try to guess what might be causing this:

1. Go to Appearance → Customize → WooCommerce → Archives → Products Per Page and check if it is set to 12 products.
2. Make sure you don’t have any snippets that might be modifying the number of products per page.
3. If you’re using Elementor to display products on the search results page, check the settings of the widget you use to display products and see if a different “Products per page” value is set there.

If none of my suggestions help, try posting your question on the OceanWP forum. I can see that they are actively engaged in resolving issues related to their theme.

Thanx for your quick reply: I checked all off your suggestions unfortunately without positive effect. BUT you pointed me into the right direction: I could not find any existing code change being responsible for the 8 instead of 9 archive products search results displayed so I fixed it by using the following code which sets the 9 instead 8 and therfore solved my problem:

// change the number of search results per page
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'myprefix_search_posts_per_page', 20, 1 );
function myprefix_search_posts_per_page( $query ) {
   // only in the frontend
   if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
      if ( $query->is_search() ) {
         $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 8 );
      }
   }
}

Thank you very much! Kind regards, Nobunaga
