Magento – Category Product Page Not displaying pagination

This is how you can set custom toolbar and pager for your custom collection, below is an example shared, I am using this snippet currently.

Set Toolbar and Pager inside your phtml (your file that is to be called inside static block):

/*  Set Toolbar Pagination for Custom Loaded Collection */                              
$toolbar = Mage::getBlockSingleton('catalog/product_list')->getToolbarBlock();
$toolbar->setCollection($_productCollection);

/*  Set Pager   */
$pager = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('page/html_pager', 'custom.pager');
$pager->setAvailableLimit(array($itemsLimit=>$itemsLimit));
$pager->setCollection($_productCollection);
$toolbar->addPagerLimit('grid', 50, 50);
$toolbar->addPagerLimit('grid', 75, 75);
$toolbar->addPagerLimit('grid', 100, 100);
$toolbar->setChild('product_list_toolbar_pager', $pager);
$toolbar->setData('_current_limit', $itemsLimit);

//Set order, define $sortBy and $orderBy
$toolbar->setData('_current_grid_order', $sortBy);
$toolbar->setData('_current_grid_direction', $orderBy);

To display toolbar on top of list, use :

<?php echo $toolbar->toHtml(); ?>

And to display pager on bottom, use :

   <!-- Show Bottom Pagination Toolbar -- PAGER -->
    <div class="toolbar-bottom">
          <div class="toolbar">
            <?php echo $pager->toHtml();?>
          </div>
    </div>  

• Now you can call static block on a category page
• Then you can define your file path inside that static block
• Call your custom collection inside that file and use steps above
• And That's it :) Enjoy

You should add this method to your class if you haven't added yet. If you don't see it yet, you should debug this method. Don't forget to add your own _getProductCollection method with your collection, and setCollection() nethod.

/**
 * Retrieve Toolbar block
 *
 * @return \Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ProductList\Toolbar
 */
public function getToolbarBlock()
{
    $blockName = $this->getToolbarBlockName();
    if ($blockName) {
        $block = $this->getLayout()->getBlock($blockName);
        if ($block) {
            return $block;
        }
    }
    $block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock($this->_defaultToolbarBlock, uniqid(microtime()));
    return $block;
}
