Pagination for Custom Post Type with Advanced Custom Fields

Oh sorry – to clarify, I’m making the plugin myself, just so I can use a shortcode to display the loop. There’s no real plugin website and no support, it’s just me trying to get a loop to work with pagination. Looking for the right code snippet. The custom post type was created for use with the previous theme (and not by me) and I’m trying to modify the use of it for Enfold. The previous setup used Custom Post Type Maker, and made a custom post type but didn’t use the taxonomy module.
Maybe the custom post type/taxonomy setup is what’s not done correctly?

Here is the code from my attempt so far:
// Create Shortcode to display Past Issues

function wmnpress_shortcode_eedition_post_type(){ ?>

<?php
$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘eedition’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 12,
‘paginate’ => ‘yes’,
‘use_main_query_pagination’ => ‘yes’,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
‘orderby’ => ‘date’,
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<div class=”past-editions flex_column av_one_third avia-builder-el-2 el_after_av_textblock el_before_av_one_third flex_column_div column-top-margin”>
<section class=”av_textblock_section “>
<div class=”avia_textblock” itemprop=”text”>
<p>
” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>” alt=”Newspaper cover page” width=”793″ height=”1024″ />” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener” data-wplink-edit=”true”><?php the_title(); ?>
</p>
</div>
</section>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php endif;
}
add_shortcode( ‘eedition-display’, ‘wmnpress_shortcode_eedition_post_type’ ); ?>
