There are a few possible reasons why the interactions may not be working when clicking the next pagination button in Webflow. Here are some potential causes and solutions:

  1. Interaction not set up correctly: Double-check that the interaction is set up correctly. Make sure that the interaction is applied to the correct element and that the trigger is set to "click". Also, ensure that the animation or action within the interaction is designed properly.

  2. Pagination button not linked to the interaction: Ensure that the pagination button is linked to the correct interaction. In the Interactions panel, make sure that the pagination button is selected as the trigger for the interaction.

  3. Interaction conflicting with other elements or scripts: Check for conflicts between the interaction and other elements or scripts on the page. Sometimes, interactions can interfere with each other or with custom code on the page. Try disabling other interactions or custom code to see if it resolves the issue.

  4. Pagination button not properly nested or named: Make sure that the pagination button is properly nested within the structure of the page and that it is given a unique name. Sometimes, incorrect nesting or duplicate naming of elements can cause interactions to malfunction.

  5. Missing or outdated browser support: Verify that the browser being used to test the interactions supports the required functionality. Webflow interactions are built using JavaScript and CSS, so if the browser does not support these technologies or has outdated versions, it may prevent the interactions from working properly.

To troubleshoot the issue, go through these steps:

  1. Verify that the interaction is set up correctly.
  2. Check if the pagination button is linked to the interaction.
  3. Disable other conflicting elements or scripts on the page.
  4. Ensure that the pagination button is properly nested and named.
  5. Test the interactions in different browsers to check for compatibility issues.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the interactions not working when clicking the next pagination button in Webflow.
