Displaying First and Last in Pagination

Question

I have this code that is not working as expected. No First or last or prev links will display...

{paginate}
                            {pagination_links}
                            <!-- post pagination -->
                            <nav class="post-pagination">
                                <ul class="pagination">
                                {first_page}
                                    <li class="pagination-first"><a href="{pagination_url}" rel="first"> First </a></li>
                                {/first_page}
                                {previous_page}
                                <li class="pagination-prev"><a href="{pagination_url}" rel="prev"> « </a></li>
                            {/previous_page}
                            {page}
                                <li class="pagination-num {if current_page}current{/if}"><a href="{pagination_url}"> {pagination_page_number} </a></li>
                            {/page}
                            {next_page}
                                <li class="pagination-next"><a href="{pagination_url}" rel="next"> » </a></li>
                            {/next_page}
                            {last_page}
                                <li class="pagination-last"><a href="{pagination_url}" rel="last"> Last </a></li>
                            {/last_page}
                            </ul>
                        </nav>
                        <!-- post pagination -->
                        {/pagination_links}
                        {/paginate}

I get this on the front end ... see attached. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

First and last links in pagination appear only when there are at least 4 pages of entries. It's not in the main documentation but it's included in the user-contributed notes in the docs.

Answer 2

ExpressionEngine usually shows 3 pages. If there are more page than 3, then it will display "First" and "last". In your case, it seems there is only 2 pages.

You can check it by decreasing the limit value.
