ACF repeater pagination

Question

I would appreciate some help regarding Advanced Custom Fields repeater. The thing is that I am building a gallery with the plugin but I need pagination at the end of the page. I am displaying the pagination links, but when clicking they don't seem to work. Is it something with the url of the page - it's not showing page number in the url. Here is my code:

<?php


/*
 * Paginate Advanced Custom Field repeater
*/

if (get_query_var('paged')) {
    $page = get_query_var('paged');
} else {
    $page = 1;
}

// Variables
$row             = 0;
$images_per_page = 2; // How many images to display on each page
$images          = get_field('thumbnail_image_repeater');
$total           = count($images);
$pages           = ceil($total / $images_per_page);
$min             = (($page * $images_per_page) - $images_per_page) + 1;
$max             = ($min + $images_per_page) - 1;
?> 

 <?php
if (have_rows('thumbnail_image_repeater')):
?> 
   <?php
    while (have_rows('thumbnail_image_repeater')):
        the_row();
        $row++;

        // Ignore this image if $row is lower than $min
        if ($row < $min) {
        continue;
        }

        // Stop loop completely if $row is higher than $max
        if ($row > $max) {
            break;
        }
?>   

 <?php
        $image          = get_sub_field('thumbnail_image');
        $thumbnail_name = get_sub_field('thumbnail_name');
?> 



    <li class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3" data-responsive="<?php
        echo $image['url'];
?>" data-src="<?php
        echo $image['url'];
?>" data-sub-html="<h4><?php
        echo $thumbnail_name;
?></h4><p><?php
        echo $thumbnail_name;
?></p>" data-pinterest-text="Pin it1" data-tweet-text="share on twitter 1"> 
        <a href=""> 
            <img class="img-responsive" src="<?php
        echo $image['url'];
?>" alt="Thumb-1" /> 
        </a> 
    </li> 
        <?php
    endwhile;
    // Pagination
    echo paginate_links(array(
        'base' => get_permalink() . '%#%' . '/',
        'format' => '?page=%#%',
        'current' => $page,
        'total' => $pages,
        'prev_text' => __('<<<'),
        'next_text' => __('>>>')
    ));
?> 


  <?php
endif;
?>

Answer 1

Looks like you're using an older version of Jonathan Nicol's Repeater pagination. The version you're using only functions on regular, built-in pages. I'm betting you're using this on a custom post type. He updated it a few years back to support CPTs. Here's what he had to say:

The query variable referenced at the start of the code snippet becomes ‘page’ instead of ‘paged’:

if( get_query_var('page') ) {
   $page = get_query_var( 'page' );
} else {
   $page = 1;
}

And the base and format options passed to paginate_links become:

'base' => get_permalink() . '%#%' . '/',
'format' => '?page=%#%',
