Tips on how to repair clean pagination hyperlinks?

I’m engaged on a WordPress weblog that has what seems to be customized pagination for the posts. As you’ll be able to see right here the right amount of hyperlinks are being rendered on the backside of the web page, nevertheless these hyperlinks are clean. Right here is the code within the capabilities.php

operate emm_paginate($args = null) {
    $defaults = array(
        'web page' => null, 'pages' => null, 
        'vary' => 3, 'hole' => 3, 'anchor' => 1,
        'earlier than' => '<div class="emm-paginate">', 'after' => '</div>',
        'title' => __('Pages:'),
        'nextpage' => __('&raquo;'), 'previouspage' => __('&laquo'),
        'echo' => 1
    );

    $r = wp_parse_args($args, $defaults);
    extract($r, EXTR_SKIP);

    if (!$web page && !$pages) {
        world $wp_query;

        $web page = get_query_var('paged');
        $web page = !empty($web page) ? intval($web page) : 1;

        $posts_per_page = intval(get_query_var('posts_per_page'));
        $pages = intval(ceil($wp_query->found_posts / $posts_per_page));
    }

    $output = "";
    if ($pages > 1) {   
        $output .= "$earlier than<span class='emm-title'>$title</span>";
        $ellipsis = "<span class='emm-gap'>...</span>";

        if ($web page > 1 && !empty($previouspage)) {
            $output .= "<a href='" . get_pagenum_link($web page - 1) . "' class='emm-prev'>$previouspage</a>";
        }

        $min_links = $vary * 2 + 1;
        $block_min = min($web page - $vary, $pages - $min_links);
        $block_high = max($web page + $vary, $min_links);
        $left_gap = (($block_min - $anchor - $hole) > 0) ? true : false;
        $right_gap = (($block_high + $anchor + $hole) < $pages) ? true : false;

        if ($left_gap && !$right_gap) {
            $output .= sprintf('%spercentspercents', 
                emm_paginate_loop(1, $anchor), 
                $ellipsis, 
                emm_paginate_loop($block_min, $pages, $web page)
            );
        }
        else if ($left_gap && $right_gap) {
            $output .= sprintf('%spercentspercentspercentspercents', 
                emm_paginate_loop(1, $anchor), 
                $ellipsis, 
                emm_paginate_loop($block_min, $block_high, $web page), 
                $ellipsis, 
                emm_paginate_loop(($pages - $anchor + 1), $pages)
            );
        }
        else if ($right_gap && !$left_gap) {
            $output .= sprintf('%spercentspercents', 
                emm_paginate_loop(1, $block_high, $web page),
                $ellipsis,
                emm_paginate_loop(($pages - $anchor + 1), $pages)
            );
        }
        else {
            $output .= emm_paginate_loop(1, $pages, $web page);
        }

        if ($web page < $pages && !empty($nextpage)) {
            $output .= "<a href='" . get_pagenum_link($web page + 1) . "' class='emm-next'>$nextpage</a>";
        }

        $output .= $after;
    }

    if ($echo) {
        echo $output;
    }

    return $output;
}

****EDIT****

I’ve deleted that emm operate out of my capabilities.php and index.php and added

<?php the_posts_pagination( array(
                'mid_size' => 2,
                'prev_text' => __( 'Again', 'textdomain' ),
                'next_text' => __( 'Onward', 'textdomain' ),
            ) ); ?> 

to my index.php and identical downside. Numbers are displaying up and yielding clean pages. I additionally seen my archives.php was lacking from the basis folder. Added it and nonetheless nothing.
