To fix the issue with the next button not showing up when trying to add pagination to your blogs in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check Pagination Settings:
  • Navigate to the Collection List element that is displaying your blog posts.
  • Select the Pagination settings (usually found in the settings panel on the right-hand side).
  • Make sure the "Enable Pagination" option is turned on.
  • Set the "Items per page" option to a value that suits your needs.
  • Save and publish your site to see if the next button appears.
  1. Check Collection List Size:
  • If your Collection List element has a fixed height set, it may limit the number of items displayed.
  • Ensure that the Collection List element has enough height to display all the items based on your pagination settings.
  1. Check Conditional Visibility:
  • Webflow’s conditional visibility feature can be used to hide certain elements based on conditions.
  • Make sure there are no conditional visibility settings applied to the next button that could cause it to be hidden.
  1. Check Styling and Z-Index:
  • If the next button has a Z-index set to a low value or conflicting with other elements, it might not be visible.
  • Ensure that the Z-index of the next button is higher than any other overlapping elements.
  • Check the styling properties, such as the background color or text color, to make sure they are not causing the next button to blend in with the background.
  1. Check for Custom Code Conflicts:
  • If you have added custom code to your Webflow project, it's possible that it is causing conflicts with the pagination functionality.
  • Temporarily remove any custom code related to the collection list or pagination and see if the issue persists.
  • If the issue is resolved after removing the custom code, you will need to troubleshoot and modify the code to work with the pagination setup.
  1. Reach Out to Webflow Support:
  • Webflow has a dedicated support team that can help you investigate and resolve any technical issues you encounter.
  • If none of the above solutions work, reach out to Webflow support with detailed information about your issue, including your project URL and steps to reproduce the problem.
  • They will be able to assist you further in troubleshooting and fixing the issue.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue with the next button not showing up when adding pagination to your blogs in Webflow.
