Pagination link broken

[wvengen]

When I'm using

paginate_path: /pages/:num/

the pagination link for the first page appears to be broken, for example see page 3, where page two is referenced correctly, but the first page shows as /page/:num/. Sounds a like a bug - or did I do something unsupported in the configuration?

What you have should work, not sure why it's not.

What happens if you remove / and do this in your _config.yml instead?

paginate_path: /page:num/

Thanks for your quick reply! It does work when I accept your suggestion (though I'm trying to get it working with the slash).

Think you're out of luck then as it appears to be a limitation with Jekyll's pagination plugin. All of their examples use page:num vs what you want page/:num.

The plugin is no longer being developed so not sure if filling a bug there will have any effect.

As an alternative Jekyll Paginate v2 is pretty great and more feature filled but it doesn't work with GitHub Pages unless you're building locally and pushing the built_site folder instead of having GH build.

Ah, sorry to bother you. Thanks!

No worries.
