Insistence on using index.html as the pagination template about jekyll-paginate

[michaellee]

I found this to be helpful https://stackoverflow.com/a/29177455/703220

Basically do as the warning tells you, instead of using a non-index.html file use an index.html.

In my case, I wanted to put pagination on a file called archive.html.

The solution was to put created a folder called archive and place a file called index.html

Then just update the permalink and paginate_path

Update

Had some issues regarding the next and previous navigations not rendering correctly. Checked out https://github.com/sverrirs/jekyll-paginate-v2 and it's working a lot better. Plus didn't have to use the nested index.html, works on a non-index.html file.

Looks like jekyll-paginate-v2 is not compatible with github pages

Seeing as this plugin isn't under active development, thought it was a valid solution to point to a project that fixed my problem is all.

yeah i agree with that paginate-v2 is not compatible with github pages

@michaellee : So, you're essentially suggesting the use of an alternate version of jekyll-paginate? I might look into it, but that does not resolve the issue for this package (= jekyll/jekyll-paginate).

I'm using the following:

• jekyll (3.4.3)
• jekyll-paginate (1.1.0)

I'm encountering the same problem as eyalroz.
