 * next_posts_link () started displaying pagination after 11 blog posts. But I changed
   the home page and chose one category. the next_posts_link () function still thinks
   that I have 11 posts on the page, although there are 2 from the same category.
   Sorry for my English, I use a translator.
 *     ```
       <?php
       $blog_args = array(
                                       'post_type' => 'post',
                                       'cat' => 48, //chose one category
                                       'posts_per_page' => 10,
                                       'order' => 'DATE',
                                       'orderby' => 'DESC',
                                       'tax_query' => $tax_query,
                                       'paged' => $paged
                                       );
       $blog_query = new WP_Query($blog_args);
       ?>
       ```

 * The functions that compute pagination links use the main query for the page. 
   Your query is separate from the main query.
