Hi Jekyll Community,

I’m building an e-commerce blog with Jekyll 4.3.3, but pagination isn’t working for my product posts (~50 posts).

**Setup** : Jekyll 4.3.3, GitHub Pages, paginate plugin enabled.  
**Steps Tried** :

- Set `paginate: 10` in `_config.yml`.
- Used `{% for post in paginator.posts %}` in index.html.
- Rebuilt site; only first page shows, no navigation links.

**Questions** :

- How do you debug Jekyll pagination issues?
- Any common pitfalls with GitHub Pages pagination?
- Tips for ensuring reliable pagination for blog posts?

Thanks for your help!

fairly sure GH Pages only works with jekyll 3.x - not 4.x. Maybe you are using an Action in which case I think you can use what ever version you want, as well as any plugins.

Are you getting any errors on gh when it builds?

As for using the paginator, I don’t have any experience with it unfortunately.

There are 2 versions of the paginator - the initial one as I recall is quite picky about the setup and usage.
