Pagination links cause page to not load properlly

I have a site that has its content loaded with pagination. With this plugin activated, when you click on the pagination links, the page reloads but with the same page as you are currently looking at. If you go directly through the address bar, the page does load.

I tried adding a class to the pagination links of “wpgb-pagination-link” and putting that in the exception list, but that does not fix the issue.

Please let me know any other direction I can look at to fix this issue.

Thanks.
