Hi alchymyth,

Thanks so much for your reply. That helped as the pagination is now showing, but it’s stuck always on the first page.

This how my code is looking right now:

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$temp = $featured; // assign ordinal query to temp variable for later use
$featured = null;
$featured = new WP_Query(array( 'post_type' => 'projects','category__in'=> 14, 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => 2, 'paged' => $paged)); ?>

if ( $featured->have_posts() ) while ( $featured->have_posts()) : $featured->the_post();

<div id="content">
</div>

 <?php endwhile; ?>
 <?php wp_reset_postdata(); // reset the query ?>  

<div class="pagination">
<span class="pag-next"><?php next_posts_link('Older Entries »', $featured->max_num_pages); ?> </span>
<span class="pag-previous"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries', $featured->max_num_pages); ?></span>
</div> 

$temp = $featured; // assign ordinal query to temp variable for later use
$featured = null;

Maybe it has something to do with the way I’m running the loop on other pages. There’s a projects page where I’m displaying thumbnails of all the project posts like this:

<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; ?>
<?php $projects_query = new WP_Query(array( 'post_type' => 'projects','post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => 9, 'paged' => $paged));
while($projects_query->have_posts()) : $projects_query->the_post(); ?>
    <div id="content">

    </div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); // reset the query ?>  

<div class="pagination">
    <span class="pag-next"><?php next_posts_link(); ?> </span>
    <span class="pag-previous"><?php previous_posts_link(); ?></span>
</div>

And the blog page where I display regular posts looks like this:

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$temp = $journal; // assign ordinal query to temp variable for later use
$journal = null;
$journal = new WP_Query(array( 'post_type' => 'post','post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => 3,'paged' => $paged ));

if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 

<div id="content">
</div>

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); // reset the query ?>  

<div class="pagination">
    <span class="pag-next"><?php next_posts_link(); ?> </span>
    <span class="pag-previous"><?php previous_posts_link(); ?></span>
</div>

I’m really lost here. I can’t pin down what’s the mistake I’m making!
