Since shift to CMS 18, page numbers are no longer shown when citing book sections even though they are correctly entered into database. Thanks for help!

That's correct 18th edition CMOS, see https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html#cg-chapter

You can use one of the classic variants if you still want chapter page numbers.

Thanks for quick answer, I indeed went back to CMS17. Again, thanks for help.

The classic styles aren’t quite the same thing as the 17th edition: they allow you to keep using features such as chapter pages whilst still following the 18th edition in other respects (something that the Manual itself allows).
