   Here is my custom page;
   

   <?php query_posts($query_string . '&post_type=post'); ?>
   
   <?php get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' ); ?>

   ...and in my loop.php I've just got the standard pagination code;
   

   <?php if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
   		<?php next_posts_link( __( '&larr; Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
   		<?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts &rarr;', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   Yet on this page, when I click on 'Older posts' it takes me to http://www.website.com/article-name/2/ but the pagination links are exactly the same (as if I was still on the 1st page). The blog posts have changed though.

   For the standard blog page the pagination links work fine.

   Try:
   

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts($query_string . '&post_type=post&paged='. $paged'); ?
   ?>

   Many thanks for your response. I assume you meant this (the code above was invalid);
   

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts($query_string . '&post_type=post&paged='. $paged . '');
   ?>

   That doesn't work unfortunately. In fact it's worse than before as page 2 now displays the same posts as page 1 (as well as still not showing a 'Newer posts' link on page 2).

   Any further suggestions?

   Can I assume then that pagination isn't supposed to work on standard pages (only the blog index and category pages...)?

   You only get auto-pagination on post listing pages - not on static WP Pages. On the latter, you add a manual <!-- nextpage--> tag to break a large page up into multiple smaller sections.

   Hmmm, can I convert a static page into a post listing page?

   I already have category pages, and a blog page, and I am looking to customize the home page so that it acts as the normal blog page does (with pagination) but has additional home page content on it...).
