Pagination for custom category template

    I’m trying to add numbered pagination to a custom category template. The template displays child categories of the current category instead of posts.

    Here are the pagination variables and the code I’m using to get the child categories:

    <?php
		$catpage = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
            $catnum = 3;
            $offset = ($catnum * $catpage) - 3;

		$cat = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
		$cat_id = $cat->cat_ID;
		$child_categories=get_categories(
		array(
        'parent' => $cat_id,
		'orderby' => 'id',
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'hide_empty' => '0',
        'number' => $catnum,
        'offset' => $offset,
        'posts_per_page' => 3,
        'paged' => $catpage
    )
);
?>

    This displays 3 child categories on the parent category page. Now how do I actually add the pagination links to the page?

    I finally managed to get this done. Here’s the code:

    <?php
/**
 * Category Template: Custom
 */

get_header(); ?>
	<div id="content" class="site-content container <?php echo codilight_lite_sidebar_position(); ?>">
		<div class="content-inside">
			<div id="primary" class="content-area">
				<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
<?php
        $catpage = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
            $catnum = 2;
            $offset = ($catnum * $catpage) - 2;

        $cat = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
        $cat_id = $cat->cat_ID;
        $child_categories=get_categories(
        array(
        'parent' => $cat_id,
        'orderby' => 'id',
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'hide_empty' => '0',
        'number' => $catnum,
        'offset' => $offset,
        'paged' => $catpage
    )
);
		if (!empty($child_categories)) : $count = 0; ?>

					<header class="page-header">
						<?php
							the_archive_title( '<h1 class="page-title">', '</h1>' );
							the_archive_description( '<div class="taxonomy-description">', '</div>' );
						?>
					</header><!-- .page-header -->

					<?php
						echo '<div class="block1 block1_grid">';
						echo '<div class="row">';

					foreach ( $child_categories as $child ){ $count++;
					include( locate_template( 'template-parts/content-custom.php' ) );

					if ( $count % 2 == 0 ) {
								echo '</div>';
								echo '<div class="row">';
					}
					}
						echo '</div>';
						echo '</div>';
					?>

				<?php else : ?>

					<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'none' ); ?>

				<?php endif; ?>

	                        echo '<nav class="navigation pagination" role="navigation">';

							echo '<div class="nav-links">';

							// if we're not on the first page, print the previous-link

							if ( $catpage > 1 ) {	

								$prevpage = $catpage - 1;

								if ( $prevpage > 1 ) {	

									echo '<a class="prev page-numbers" href="' . $base_url . '/page/' . $prevpage . '"><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i></a>';

								endfor;

							// if there is one more page after the current, print the next-link

							if ( $catpage < $pages ) {	

								$nextpage = $catpage + 1;

								echo '&nbsp;<a class="next' . $class . '" href="' . $base_url . '/page/' . $nextpage . '"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a>';	

							}

							echo '</div>';
							echo '</nav>';

							printf( '<span class="total-pages">' . esc_html__( 'Page %1$s of %2$s', 'codilight-lite' ) . '</span>', $catpage, $pages );

							echo '</div>';

						endif;
						// End of Pagination
