See the docs at [Django Pagination](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/pagination/#pagination) for details on using the Paginator, especially [the section on Paginating a ListView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/pagination/#paginating-a-listview).

Please post the view you are using and the associated template that matches the pattern as shown in the doc, and we can help identify where the issues may be. Remember to enclose _both_ the template _and_ the view between lines of three backtick - ` characters.
