Tell us what you are trying to do?
Create two buttons (image buttons) to view the next & previous post in the content template ( i really need to do this) I tried adding shortcodes (taken from the views) to the href="[wpv-pager-prev-page][/wpv-pager-prev-page]" but it didn't work.
Well - to find whats going wrong, could you please share problem URL and access details.
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).
I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
I tried putting together a demo site for you to jump in & have a look around, then I used latest plugins including WP bakery latest composer & now the links work fine.
