I think I’m nearly there with this, but I can’t get the pagination links to show for a directory of authors I’m creating.
My code is below, but I don’t know how to get the links to navigate between pages of authors to work. Can anyone help me? I’ve got the feeling this might be of use, but I don’t know how to implement it:
paginate_links()
Thanks

This should get you really close. I haven’t tested it, but it’s nearly identical to a setup I’ve used a few times.
