WP Show posts pagination breaking in Generatepress

Hello,

We use WPSP for our category pages: https://socialpronow.com/blog/category/making-conversation/
If you scroll down and click on page 2, you see that it repeats page 1's posts.

-I've tried disabling all plugins. (including cashing plugins etc)
-All plugins and themes are up to date.
-I've tried disabling the "featured" posts lists (the one in the gray box) and the category buttons at the top.

Question 2:
If we get the pagination to work, is there a code snippet I could use to hide the "featured articles" on page 2 and beyond? This to avoid duplicate content. I have evaluated your ajax view more in the pro version, but it looks like it can prevent google from crawling those pages.
