WP_Query pagination on a custom endpoint in WooCommerce-CodePudding

I have created a class that creates a custom endpoint for WooCommerce My Account and on this endpoint I am trying to add the lists of products with pagination using WP_Query.

Here is the code:

$paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;            
$args = array(
            'post_type' => 'product',
            'posts_per_page' => 5,
            'paged' => $paged
        );

        $query = new \WP_Query( $args );
        while( $query->have_posts() ):
            $query->the_post();
            echo get_the_title().'<br>';
        endwhile;

        echo paginate_links( array(
            'base'         => str_replace( 999999999, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( 999999999 ) ) ),
            'total'        => $query->max_num_pages,
            'current'      => max( 1, get_query_var( 'paged' ) ),
            'format'       => '?paged=%#%',
            'show_all'     => false,
            'type'         => 'plain',
            'end_size'     => 2,
            'mid_size'     => 1,
            'prev_next'    => true,
            'prev_text'    => sprintf( '<i></i> %1$s', __( 'Newer Posts', 'text-domain' ) ),
            'next_text'    => sprintf( '%1$s <i></i>', __( 'Older Posts', 'text-domain' ) ),
            'add_args'     => false,
            'add_fragment' => '',
        ) );

The pagination links appear just fine and the correct number of page links.

The problem is that the get_query_var('paged') is always 0.

I checked using var_dump get_query_var('paged'). I am guessing that it has something to do with the fact that I am creating the WP_Query instance on an endpoint.

Anyone have any ideas if WP_Query with pagination can work on a custom endpoint?

"the problem is that the get_query_var('paged') is always 0"

According to the documentation, when you're using a custom template, the query_var should be page NOT paged.

Replace this line:

$paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;

With this one:

$paged = get_query_var( 'page', 1);

Also it's a good practice to use wp_reset_postdata^Docs function after you're done with your query!

After getting some good sleep, I came back to this issue this morning and with fresh eyes and I could see what was causing the issue.

As this was a custom endpoint point the 'paged' variable was being added to the custom endpoint query variable, in this case called 'listings'.

If I var_dump the listings query variable I get page/2 etc. So I wrote

if( empty( get_query_var('listings') ) ):
    $paged = 1;
else:
    $paged_array = explode('/',get_query_var('listings'));
    $paged = $paged_array[1];
endif;

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'product',
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
    'paged' => $paged
);

This allowed me to get a paged variable and now the pagination works.

Seems like a bit of a hack, but not sure how else to get a paged variable from an endpoint
