    Hello
    I have a problem showing my category page in pageing
    I have a custom post type named ‘videos’
    I put all the posts of this type in a one category names ‘cars video’
    I use a template page category-9.php’ as the id of this category ‘cars video’ is ‘9’

    I place this code at the top of my loop

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
?>
		<?php query_posts( $query_string . '&post_type=videos&posts_per_page=10&paged=' . $paged ); ?>
		<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
			<?php
			/* Start the Loop */
			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
etc.......

    I got the first page ‘sitename.com/blog/category/cat-videos/’ working fine but I have this pages not working
    ‘sitename.com/blog/category/cat-videos/page/1’
    ‘sitename.com/blog/category/cat-videos/page/2’
    etc..

    it gave me 404.php page

    Any advices?

    Thanks I solved it

    the problem was not in query or the paging but I used category-9.php template page
    but I fixed it by using archive-videos.php

    Thanks

    Glad that you make it resolved. My personal openion for paging is don’t use custom code rather then use wordpress number paging fuction tio replace previous /mnext links

    very few people knowing about this inbuilt function 

    <?php
global $wp_query;
$big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
echo paginate_links( array(
'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', get_pagenum_link( $big ) ),
'format' => '?paged=%#%',
'current' => max(2, get_query_var('paged') ),
'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
'show_all' => false,
'prev_next' => True,
'prev_text' => __('« Previous'),
'next_text' => __('Next »')
) );?>

    For replace ment technique you can find more details here –

    Above WordPress function works with custom post-type as well 🙂
