Elementor number pagiantion html
put prev in one span and numbers in one span and next in one span

Assistant

Here’s how you can structure **Elementor number pagination HTML** with separate “ wrappers for the **Previous**, **Numbers**, and **Next** parts:

### ✅ Sample HTML Structure:

<div class="custom-pagination">
    <span class="pagination-prev">
        <a href="#" class="prev page-numbers">Previous</a>
    </span>
    
    <span class="pagination-numbers">
        <a href="#" class="page-numbers">1</a>
        <span class="page-numbers current">2</span>
        <a href="#" class="page-numbers">3</a>
        <a href="#" class="page-numbers">4</a>
    </span>

    <span class="pagination-next">
        <a href="#" class="next page-numbers">Next</a>
    </span>
</div>

### 💡 Explanation:
– `.pagination-prev` contains the "Previous" link.
– `.pagination-numbers` wraps all the numbered page links.
– `.pagination-next` contains the "Next" link.

You can add Elementor widget class names or styles around this if you're customizing an Elementor widget or using this in a custom skin or shortcode.

How I achieve it so that I can apply elemetor pro pagiantion settings

Assistant

To **apply Elementor Pro's pagination settings** *while customizing the HTML output structure* (i.e. grouping Previous, Numbers, and Next into separate “ tags), you'll need to **hook into the pagination rendering** process of Elementor and **override or restructure it via PHP or JS/CSS**, depending on the widget used.

### 🚩 Situation
You're likely using:
– A **Posts widget** or **Loop Grid** in Elementor Pro.
– Elementor auto-generates pagination as:

<div class="elementor-pagination">
      <a class="page-numbers prev" href="#">←</a>
      <a class="page-numbers" href="#">1</a>
      <span class="page-numbers current">2</span>
      <a class="page-numbers" href="#">3</a>
      <a class="page-numbers next" href="#">→</a>
  </div>

### ✅ Option 1: CSS-Only Grouping (no HTML change, fully safe)

Since you **can’t change Elementor’s pagination HTML directly**, the safest approach is to **group and style them visually using CSS**:

/* Wrap prev, numbers, and next visually */
.elementor-pagination {
  display: flex;
  gap: 10px;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

.elementor-pagination .page-numbers.prev {
  order: 1;
  margin-right: 20px;
}

.elementor-pagination .page-numbers:not(.prev):not(.next) {
  order: 2;
}

.elementor-pagination .page-numbers.next {
  order: 3;
  margin-left: 20px;
}

You can even add pseudo wrappers like:

.elementor-pagination::before {
  content: "« ";
  display: inline-block;
}

.elementor-pagination::after {
  content: " »";
  display: inline-block;
}

### ✅ Option 2: Custom Loop Template (with Loop Grid)

If you use **Elementor Loop Grid**, you can:
1. Create a **Loop Item Template** (`Loop Item`) from **Templates → Loop Items**.
2. Inside your Loop template, you can customize everything except pagination.
3. The pagination is rendered after the loop, so your only way to change its structure is via **JavaScript or CSS**, unless you **build a custom shortcode or widget**.

### ✅ Option 3: Full PHP Custom Pagination (Advanced)

If you’re developing a **custom Elementor widget**, you can register your own pagination:

function custom_elementor_paginate_links() {
    $big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
    $paginate_links = paginate_links(array(
        'base' => str_replace($big, '%#%', esc_url(get_pagenum_link($big))),
        'format' => '?paged=%#%',
        'current' => max(1, get_query_var('paged')),
        'total' => $GLOBALS['wp_query']->max_num_pages,
        'type'  => 'array'
    ));

    if (is_array($paginate_links)) {
        echo '<div class="custom-pagination">';
        echo '<span class="pagination-prev">' . array_shift($paginate_links) . '</span>';
        echo '<span class="pagination-numbers">' . implode('', array_slice($paginate_links, 0, -1)) . '</span>';
        echo '<span class="pagination-next">' . array_pop($paginate_links) . '</span>';
        echo '</div>';
    }
}

Then insert it using a shortcode or HTML widget.
