Pagination Error

Hi hope someone can help with this weird problem…

I have a site with thousands of posts so I obviously need to use pagination.

The weird thing is it works ok on all widgets when I create the archive page as a new “PAGE” but I cant use that page as the blog page as when I try to edit it again with elementor I get the error about not having access to “The_content” etc

so I am forced to have to use the archive creator and the pagination will not work on any element I use – strange…

I have tried a few elements, all work in a page but not in the archive created page.

When I click on next or a page number the page scrolls back to the top of the page but no new posts…

Please help 🙂
