Woocommerce shortcode pagination - wordpress

Question

I'm using Recent products shortcode, [recent_products per_page="4" columns="2"]
and would like to have pagination, because I'm displaying products on homepage - and currently only 4 products are being displayed. Is there a way to add pagination?
I have imported dummy data, so there are 45 products.

Answer 1

Use [recent_products limit="12" columns="4" paginate="true"] This shortcode limit 12 means maximum 12 post on a page.

Answer 2

You could consider a plugin: WP-PageNavi. In order to use it with Woocommerce, simply install and configure the plugin, then add the following code to your theme's functions.php:
remove_action('woocommerce_pagination', 'woocommerce_pagination', 10);
function woocommerce_pagination() {
wp_pagenavi();
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_pagination', 'woocommerce_pagination', 10);

Referencing from this github gist https://gist.github.com/klihelp/7810337 Including the following code into your child-theme functions.php after installing this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/prime-strategy-page-navi/
<?php
/**
* This code shows pagination for WooCommerce shortcodes when it's embeded on single pages.
* Include into functions.php.

// ---------------------- WooCommerce active -------------------
/**
* Set Pagination for shortcodes custom loop on single-pages.
* #uses $woocommerce_loop;
*/
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'kli_wc_pre_get_posts_query' );
function kli_wc_pre_get_posts_query( $query ) {
global $woocommerce_loop;
// Get paged from main query only
// ! frontpage missing the post_type
if ( is_main_query() && ( $query->query['post_type'] == 'product' ) || ! isset( $query->query['post_type'] ) ){

$woocommerce_loop['paged'] = $query->query['paged'];
