Alphabetic Pagination allows you to enable pagination on pages, posts and categories. By default it works with categories to filter posts inside with the selection from the settings page. You can enable it for other sections as well.
Options are availble to select auto/custom implementation, where to display post type/status selection and DOM position. You can activate another amazing plugin Chameleon to apply styles on pagination. Pagination can be enabled for selected pages/posts/taxonomies with additional shortcodes. Custom implementation, shortcodes and permissions are available in advanced version. Templates are avarialble with another WordPress plugin Chameleon to shape your page with different style. You can display pagination on archives, categories, shops, portfolio, or selected post/page/product/category etc.
