  echo '';
         $nav = get_the_posts_pagination( array(
             'prev_text'          => __( '', 'textdomain' ),
              'next_text'          => __( '', 'textdomain' ),
                'screen_reader_text' => __( 'A' )
            ) );
     $nav = str_replace('A', '', $nav);
                                        echo $nav;
 echo '';

    The problem
    no pagination links appear in the div blogPagination, the 6 blogs display fine

    can anyone spot an error please?

    The blog I need help with is shop.howardnurseries.co.uk.

    It looks like you might be missing the text in the pagination links, they are empty currently – which is why you may not see any links to paginate with. Try adding descriptive text on these 2 lines:

    'prev_text'          => __( 'Previous Post', 'textdomain' ),
'next_text'          => __( 'Next Post', 'textdomain' ),

    what file are you editing?

    the function is only applied to the default query, i.e. wp_query, not to custom queries…

    Phil,
    Hmmm I am using,
    ‘prev_text’ => __( ‘<i class=”fa fa-chevron-left” aria-hidden=”true”></i>Previous’, ‘textdomain’ ),
    ‘next_text’ => __( ‘<i class=”fa fa-chevron-right” aria-hidden=”true”></i>Next’, ‘textdomain’ ),

    maybe code /code stripped it, sorry, but still no output

    Michael, not editing a file per se I am injecting php into a pagebuilder widget with
    Woody ad snippets (PHP snippets | Insert PHP)

    So the equivalent of template code then. Michael’s comment about WP_Query still applies. Try using paginate_links() to build your, uh, well… pagination links.

    Rebuilt using paginate_links(), works a charm
    Brilliant, thank you all.
