Page navigation problems on author page

what is the code of number_paginate() ?

as a test, try and replace it with https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/posts_nav_link

number_paginate() seems to be theme specific function – what theme are you using?

This is the code of number_paginate()

I’m using an Organic Themes

the reason is that the ‘posts per page’ from the theme options is not the same as set under dashboard – settings – reading;

there are some topics in the forum, but there does not seem to be an easy solution;

using pre_get_posts to set the different amount of posts per page seems to be the most suitable appraoch; https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts

I found a solution.
Just set the same post per page under settings/reading and “framework” of the theme ??

thank you
