At the bottom of my category pages is a link to the next page of posts. For all my category pages it's broken. Here is a link to see the error that's happening

How do I fix this? FYI - this is my website; working on websites is not my full time job so if you have a solution please try to keep it as simple as possible. Thanks!

Hi there,
Can you try #1 here to eliminate any plugin conflicts first?

Let me know :)
Thanks for the quick response. When the site was being put together this issue came up; I believe the guy mentioned it was jetpack. I deactivated that however nothing changed on my end. I have some significant concerns about deactivating everything; I did that once and spent an entire day trying to get everything to work again. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
Unfortunately not.
These links/pages are automatically generated by WordPress and not controlled by the theme.
You can do a quick test by switching over to a Twenty series theme from WP but I think the issue will still be there.
ok; I assume if I reach out to wordpress they'll tell me the same thing about the plugins? I did switch and yes I had the same issue.
So when I find which plugin is causing the issue; does that mean I can no longer use that plugin or is it generally a fixable solution with some tweeking of the plugin? Last question; after I deactivate the plugin that's causing the issue; will the problem generally fix its self immediately or do I need to wait a bit to see the results? I'm a total novice at this so please excuse the potentially dumb questions!
Tough to answer this without more info.
First, we need to identify which plugin is causing the issue. There is a chance that it's not a plugin issue as well.
In that case, you should contact your host and they should be able to fix it for you :)
Ok thanks...I'll start working on it later today.
No problem :)
So I disabled all the plugins and the problem has not gone away. I reached out to SiteGround and they said it has nothing to do with the servers so it's not their issue. I have no idea what to do at this point; is there anything you can do to help?
I found this article/blog post and it appears this person has the same problem and came up with a solution however I have no idea how to do this/implement the fix. I just got my theme and really would like it to fully work...thanks for your help.
Here is the article:

Can you try disabling Autopimize for now and re-save the permalink settings?
Ok...I'll give that a shot now.
No changes
I figured out the problem.
I have this deactivated plugin called snippets; I reactivated that and BOOM...problem fixed. Looks like the guy who put the site together entered some code to fix it and when I deactivated the plugin (thought I'd never use it) I guess that's when the problem started. Sorry to wast your time and really appreciate the help/patience.
Can't see why you would need a snippet for this to work.
Glad you figured out though :)
