    When I filter posts by category on front page the pagination doesn’t work. Posts from front page shown on page 2,3,4 and so on.
    But when I remove filter it works normally.

    <?php query_posts(‘cat=3’); ?>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    Hi there,

    I have a better solution for this rather than running the query in the front page because there is already a query running in the blog page and your query will override the query that is already thats why the pagination won’t work properly.

    So instead of writing
    query_posts('cat=3')

    You can use pre_get_posts hook to get the posts of specific category in the frontpage.Add the below code to your functions.php file.

    function my_home_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '3' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_home_category' );

    Check below link for further reference.
