Can I define multiple paginations on a single page?

Question

I have a category page, which shows this category's subcategories.

I want in each subcategory to show its first five articles. And then provide pagination for each subcategory in order to allow user to see next/previous articles of this subcategory.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Possibly, try calling paginate_links in each loop either on the last iteration, or prior to making the cleanup call.

There is a chance though that it will simply attempt to paginate the current page, rather than lead to a specific archive, so it would make more sense to add a link to the relevant archive instead.
