The paginated function is not working

I have the same (or very similar) issue. I have my otw-portfolio displaying on my front page, 9 posts. The default ‘All’ view displays the pagination ‘next’ link as https://localhost/Portfolio/?paged=2

When clicked, the exact same page is loaded, it doesn’t appear to recognise the pagination.

When a category with >9 portfolio items is clicked, however, the pagination works flawlessly e.g.
https://localhost/Portfolio/?otw-portfolio-category=everything ->
https://localhost/Portfolio/?otw-portfolio-category=everything&paged=2

I really need this to work (the project is a uni assignment) – please shed some light on this!!

Hi my friend,
Maybe it is because of the way you manage the permalinks in the back-office of WordPress ?

I also had this problem, and could not fix it, so I just changed my portfolio to show all entries on a single page. Showing all entries on one page would be obnoxious if the portfolio had a lot of entries, but it’s not so bad for -50 entries (in my opinion).

I am curious as to why this might happen…? The plugin had this problem for me out-of-the-box 100% fresh from the start with no edits on my end.
