 * The pagination link is not working properly.
 * I have read this thread: [https://xnau.com/fixing-broken-pagination-links-in-themes-with-smooth-scrolling/](https://xnau.com/fixing-broken-pagination-links-in-themes-with-smooth-scrolling/)
   
   and I followed all the instructions with no results. Moreover I tried to change
   the template with “twenty-seventeen” and “twenty-twentythree” and the results
   were the same: _kind of a deal breaker with a lot of records_.Someone can tell
   me please, what to do to fix it?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpagination-issue-74%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Can you describe in detail what happens wh you try to use the pagination?
 * Participants Database pagination not working is usually cuased by issues with
   javascript on the page. There can be a number of reasons for that, for example
   if another plugin (or theme) has javascript on the page that is interfering with
   the javascript. Another thing to look at is if you’re using a plugin that “optimizes”
   javascript, try turning that off to see if it helps. Javascript optmization will
   often break plugin javascript because it can change the load order.

 * Thank you for your response. I need the pagination because I will have more than
   400 participants.
   I started to deactivating plugins and I realize that the conflict
   is with Elementor plugin. When this plugin is deactivated the pagination links
   works perfect. Is there any way to fix this? or I need to search for another 
   builder?

 * Try using a shortcode block for the plugin shortcode. The reason it’s not working
   may be related to Elementor optimizing the javascript, so check on the theme 
   settings for a way to configure that.
