    I have a custom query which calls all “coupons” in the current category, however when I go to page 2 I get a 404 error.

    <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; 

	query_posts(array(

			'post_type' => 'coupons',
			'category__in' => array(get_the_category('cat')),
			'posts_per_page' => 1,
			'paged'=> $paged

		)); ?>

    I have tried every single fix I could find in 3 days of searching the web, nothing as worked, when I change the default posts per page setting under reading to 1 then I get a second page working but 404 error on page 3 and beyond. I am absolutely stuck, I have used queries like this before with no issues with pagination.

    Thanks for the reply, however changing posts_per_page to any number still comes up with the 404 error

    try with this
    <?php
    query_posts(array(

    ‘post_type’ => ‘coupons’,
    ‘category__in’ => array(get_the_category(‘cat’)),
    ‘posts_per_page’ => 1,
    ‘paged’=> $paged,
    ‘paged’ => get_query_var(‘paged’)));
    ?>

    and after endwhile reset the query with wp_reset_query();

    Still no luck this is what I have so far

    <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts(array(
			'post_type' => 'coupons',
			'category__in' => array(get_the_category('cat')),
			'posts_per_page' => 1,
			'paged'=> $paged,
			'paged' => get_query_var('paged')

		)); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

// loop content

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php posts_nav_link('    ','← Newer Posts','Older Posts →'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

    Just sorted it out by adding this to my functions.php

    add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'query_post_type');
function query_post_type($query) {
  if(is_category() || is_tag()) {
    $post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
	if($post_type)
	    $post_type = $post_type;
	else
	    $post_type = array('post','coupons','savingstips');
	    $query->set('post_type',$post_type);
	return $query;
    }
}

    Where ‘coupons’ and ‘savingstips’ were my custom posts I can now query and use pagination
