I’m trying to paginate using following codes
```auto
{{ $maxPage := 20 }}
{{ $paginator := .Paginate .Data.Pages $maxPage }}
{{ range $paginator.Pages }}
{{ . }}
{{ end }}
{{ partial "pagination.html" . }}
```
Above code will throw me error like below:
```auto
execute of template failed – is nil; wrap it in if or with: {{ with }}{{ .Pages }}{{ end }}
```
I’m not sure what’s happening. When I’m trying to loop without pagination, it works
```auto
{{ range .Data.Pages }}
{{ . }}
{{ end }}
```
I’m using the latest hugo version: hugo v0.148.1
Please help @bep, @jmooring and others, thanks!

I found the solution after following this [past discussion](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/pagination-not-working-on-term-html/36093).
Turns out, you need to explicitly declare the pagination in the range syntax like below:
```auto
{{ range (.Paginate .Data.Pages).Pages }}
{{ . }}
{{ end }}
```
I’m not sure about the the reason behind this. Is it because the variable make the paginator object static?

Your original code works fine. Try it:
```plaintext
git clone --single-branch -b hugo-forum-topic-55419 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-forum-topic-55419
cd hugo-forum-topic-55419
hugo server
```
