This is happening to me as well with a site I am working on.
http://driftparty.com/
You can see that the content stays the same as the index for the second page:
http://driftparty.com/page/2/
When I switch to the unmolested TwentyTen theme that comes with WP, the next/previous buttons work okay.
I tried installing WP-PageNavi and yield the same results as my original post – just reloaded content on page 2.
check if your front page template (index.php?) contains a custom query.
if so, this might be missing the ‘paged’ parameter:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#Pagination_Parameters
example solution:
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; // for pagination
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 9,
'paged' => $paged, // for pagination
'cat' => 0
);
query_posts($args);
It doesn’t that I can see… it only has this:
<?php if ( $paged < 1 ) { ?>
I tried adding your code, but still no luck. I even deleted the bit of code I posted above and left your code.
Also tried adding it to the header, just for kicks – still no go.
might I suggest dropping your index.php code into the pastebin and reporting a link back for investigation

This particular theme (Modularity) has a ton of includes… so I’m not sure if that will help or not.
i actually get a ‘not found’ if i click on the ‘next page’ link
the link is:
http://www.hawaii.edu/lis/lisnews/www.hawaii.edu/lis/lisnews/index.php?paged=2
which contains your site url twice.
check your settings in ‘settings’ ‘general’ wordpress url, site url; and your permalink settings ‘settings’ ‘permalinks’

it is always a bit more complicated to troubleshoot a commercial theme; check if you can also get support from the seller.
I have month and name set up for the permalinks.
I don’t understand… when I click next page, it just reloads the main page.
Graph Paper Press does offer support, but you have to pay for it with your subscription to their site. I don’t have a current subscription, and am not interested in spending the money for a membership to try and solve this problem.
