The pagination for the search and filter functionality of my site is not working. The pagination selector is set as “.pagination a” as per the code below. The divs show up in the source code but the divs are empty and there are no pagination links generated from the php code.

I am using a Genesis child theme and I’m trying to filter/search custom posts that were set up using ACF. These posts are separate and distinct from my blog posts.

This is the code I currently have in the template for pagination. It’s placed after the endif of the loop and inside the results container:

<div class=”pagination”>
<div class=”nav-previous”><?php next_posts_link( ‘Older posts’, $query->max_num_pages ); ?></div>
<div class=”nav-next”><?php previous_posts_link( ‘Newer posts’ ); ?></div>
</div>
