   When the blog posts are called in a custom page template with the below code the pagination works just fine:

   <?php global $paged;
   
   $bcat = get_option('of_blog_category');
   $bcatid = get_cat_id($bcat);
   
   query_posts(array(
   'cat'=>$bcatid,
   'posts_per_page' => 9,
   'paged' => $paged
   )); ?>
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   

   However when I set the page which uses this template as my homepage in "Settings - Reading", the pagination stops working.

   What may be the reason for this? How can I solve it?

   Well I solved the issue by replacing the above code with this:

   <?php
   $bcat = get_option('of_blog_category');
   $bcatid = get_cat_id($bcat);
   if ( get_query_var('paged') ) {
   $paged = get_query_var('paged');
   } elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) {
   $paged = get_query_var('page');
   } else {
   $paged = 1;
   }
   query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'paged' => $paged, 'cat'=> $bcatid, 'posts_per_page' => 9 ) );
   ?>
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
