Answer 1

I encountered similar problem for my homepage (index.php) which list the posts. I keep getting a page not found. The instruction in https://codex.wordpress.org/Pagination got www.domain.com/page/2/ working for me.
First remove the query_posts part from the template files (index.php, category.php)
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array('posts_per_page' => 3, 'paged' => $paged );
query_posts($args);
Then add the below in your functions.php
function my_post_queries( $query ) {
// do not alter the query on wp-admin pages and only alter it if it's the main query
if (!is_admin() && $query->is_main_query()){
// alter the query for the home and category pages
if(is_home()){
$query->set('posts_per_page', 3);
}
if(is_category()){
$query->set('posts_per_page', 3);
}
}
]
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_post_queries' );
Note: Both HTML5 Blank Theme and Underscore Theme gave me 404 errors for pagination. The above solution got pagination working for both themes.

Answer 2

I rather would use WP_Query and use the paged pagination parameter. Read more about this here: WP_Query#Pagination_Parameters
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$loop = new WP_Query(
array(
'post_type' => 'html5-blank',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'paged'=>$paged
)
);
?>
<?php if ($loop->have_posts()): while ($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="clearfix" <?php post_class(); ?>>
//Loop Here
<!-- /Article -->
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<nav>
<?php previous_posts_link('« Newer') ?>
<?php next_posts_link('Older »') ?>
</nav>
Please let me know :)
Second example:
global $post;
global $paged, $wp_query;
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'post_type' => 'html5-blank', 'paged' => $paged );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :
setup_postdata($post);
// loop
the_title(); // or what it is needed inside the loop
endforeach;
if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) :
previous_posts_link('« Newer');
next_posts_link('Older »');
endif;

<?php
global $wp_query;
$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'html5-blank', //Post type
'posts_per_page' => 5, //How many post u want to display per page
'paged' => $paged
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
$url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );
?>
<img src="<?=$url?>" width="350" height="350" class="thumbnail imageRight"/>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
<?php } } ?>
<div class="pagination">
<?php
global $wp_query;
$big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
echo paginate_links( array(
'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
'format' => '?paged=%#%',
'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
) );
?>
</div>

Answer 4

$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1; // setup pagination
$the_query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'YOUR_POST_TYPE_NAME',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => 5)
);
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
// YOUR CODE
endwhile;
echo '<nav>';
echo '<div>'.get_next_posts_link('Older', $the_query->max_num_pages).'</div>'; //Older Link using max_num_pages
echo '<div>'.get_previous_posts_link('Newer', $the_query->max_num_pages).'</div>'; //Newer Link using max_num_pages
echo "</nav>";
wp_reset_postdata(); // Rest Data
Would you please try above code?
