I’m using jekyll-paginate-v2’s autopages to generate tags and other things. The first page is written to “/tag/sometag/” as I want it to (`/tag/:tag/`), but the remaining pages end up in e.g. “/tag/sometag/page2/” (`/tag/:tag/page:num/`) but I want them in “/tag/sometag/2/” (`/tag/:tag/:num/`) as I have them for other collections.
I have tried setting `paginate_path` in various sections inside \_config.yml but the plugin does not seem to care. The [documentation](https://github.com/sverrirs/jekyll-paginate-v2/blob/master/README-GENERATOR.md) only mentions `paginate_path` in backwards compatibility mode with jekyll-paginate, which I don’t think I want.
_Is changing the path for autopages even possible? If so how?_

Here’s the relevant part of my config. I have not included my attempts at setting `paginate_path` because it seems to be ignored everywhere.
```auto
pagination:
enabled: true
per_page: 2
title: ':title'
sort_field: 'date'
sort_reverse: true
trail:
before: 3
after: 3
collections:
somecollection:
output: true
sort_by: date
permalink: somecollection-:title
autopages:
enabled: true
collections:
enabled: false
tags:
title: '#:tag'
permalink: '/tag/:tag/'
silent: false
slugify:
mode: 'pretty'
case: true
```

Have you tried modifying `permalink` under the `pagination` key?
```yaml
pagination:
enabled: true
#debug: true
per_page: 5
permalink: '/page/:num/'
```

Yes, I tried `permalink` in various places. In some `:num` isn’t properly replaced. In others `:tag` is not. I have looked around a bit in the plugin code and it seems to just not be supported. But I’m not fluent in ruby, so I might have overlooked something.
I currently solved this with .htaccess redirections. They look like this, in case someone finds the same issue:
```auto
RewriteRule tag/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /tag/$1/page$2/index.html [L]
```
