    I can’t figure out why the pagination isn’t working, I tried WP-Navi and it’s still not working (using blogressive theme), when i go to page 2 the same four latest posts only show and not the newer post code below:

    ?php

$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('cat=-5&showposts=4'.'&paged='.$paged);
?>

<?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/img/top_icon_report.gif" width="95" height="22" border="0" class="report" />	

<div class="post-home">
<div class="postThumb"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a></div>
<div class="date"><?php echo date("F d, Y"); ?></div>

<img src="http://image/top_line01.gif" border="0"  class="line" />

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">

<?php the_title(); ?></a></br>

<?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
echo string_limit_words($excerpt,35); ?>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<? next_posts_link('← Older Entries') ?>
<? previous_posts_link('Newer Entries →') ?>

    You do not have a $paged variable. Try:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('cat=-5&showposts=4'.'&paged='.$paged);
?>

    There are literally thousands of WordPress themes – which means that many people won’t be familiar with your particular theme. So a link to your site where people can see the theme might result in more responses.

    Try query_posts instead of wp_query as following:

    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
  'cat' => 5,
  'posts_per_page' => 4,
  'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts( $args );
if ( have_posts() ) {
 while ( have_posts() ) {
  the_post();
  // post content
 }
 // Paging code
}

    Remove If condition from my code, write as follows:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
  'cat' => 5,
  'posts_per_page' => 4,
  'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts( $args );
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
 //Post Content
endwhile;

// Paging
next_posts_link('← Older Entries');
previous_posts_link('Newer Entries →');
?>

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
  'cat' => 5,
  'posts_per_page' => 4,
  'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts( $args );
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
 //Post Content
endwhile;

// Paging
next_posts_link('← Older Entries');
previous_posts_link('Newer Entries →');
?>

    to get the code working for me, I first have to change the first row with

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

    to

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

    (the term paged changed to page) and this seems to be legit referring to this last comment on Pagination Parameter saying:

    You should set get_query_var( ‘page’ ); if you want your query to work with pagination. Since WordPress 3.0.2, you do get_query_var( ‘page’ ) instead of get_query_var( ‘paged’ ). The pagination parameter ‘paged’ for WP_Query() remains the same.

    haven’t seen anyone highlighting this when discussion the same problem, are many people using elder versions of WP or what?

    I think the codex is wrong there.

    I think you should use get_query_var('page') on a single Post or Page (template) that has been divided into pages using the <!–nextpage–> QuickTag.
    And also on a static front page (template) that has a query on the loop. On all other template files you should use “paged”.

    Did you change it to “page” on a static front page (page template)?
    If not, on what theme template file did you have to change it to “page”?
