How to add pagination in Elementor with Posts and Archive Posts widgets
To get started, you can create a new page / post and edit it with Elementor. You can also edit an existing page.
Then, in the Elementor editor, add the widget Posts by dragging it from the left panel to the edit box.
Once the widget is added, go to the left panel and open the option Pagination under the tab Contents. Select the type of pagination from the drop-down menu. In this example, we use Numbers.
By default, your pagination limits pages to 5. You can change this option depending on the number of articles you have. There is one crucial thing you should note here. The page limit is the maximum number of pages your visitor can access.

If you have a large number of articles (say more than 100), you should set the page limit to a higher number to allow your visiteurs to see articles by page in the navigation. If you set the page limit to 5 even though you set the posts per page to 10, your visitor will only be able to see the last 50 posts of your Website.
WordPress (or Elementor more precisely) will hide older posts other than the last 50 posts.
In order to make your pagination short and neat, you can activate the option Shorten.
Customizing pagination
To customize your pagination, you can open the option Pagination under the Style tab of the left panel.
You can set the font style, font size and font family in the section Typography. Click the pencil icon to open the typography setting.
To set the color of the pagination, you can click on the color picker in the section colors. There are 3 colors you can set: NORMAL, HOVER and ACTIVE (the active page). You can define the space between the pagination numbers in the section Space Between.
Once you are done, you can click on the button PUBLISH to publish your page. Or, if you are editing a page, you can click the button UPDATE to apply the new changes.
