I am trying to create a letters archive for the users on their profile page.

$contest_args = array(
    'per_page'   => 5,
    'user_id'    => bp_displayed_user_id(),
    'page'       => $page,
    'action'     => 'activity_update',
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key'     => 'contest_id',
            'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
        ),
    ),
);
$activities_template = new BP_Activity_Template($contest_args);

I am using bp_activity_pagination_count() for pagination count and bp_pagination_links for pagination links.
But the pagination count and pagination links are not working.

Here is the code:

if ( bp_has_activities($contest_args) ) : ?>
    <div id="pag-top" class="pagination w-100 d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center mb-3">
        <div class="pag-count" id="group-dir-count-top">
        <?php echo bp_get_activity_pagination_count( $activities ); ?>

        </div>
        <div class="pagination-links" id="group-dir-pag-top">
            <?php bp_activity_pagination_links(); ?>
           
        </div>
    </div>
