wp-paginate in a custom post loop

Hello,

I’m having a pleasant afternoon, trying everything i can find to make this work. It did work before but no joy in my current theme.

I have a page with the following code in it. Does all the displaying of post loop but will not paginate

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

$xib = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'exhibitions',
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC',
'paged' => $paged
						) );
while ( $xib->have_posts() ) : $xib->the_post(); ?>
	<div id="recordwrap">
	<div id="record" class="storycontent">
<p class="storytitle"><?php the_title(); ?></p>
<?php the_content('more..'); ?>
</div>

<div id="featuredimg">
<?php
 if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {
   $large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full');
   echo '<a href="' . $large_image_url[0] . '" rel="shadowbox[ex]" title="' . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '" >';
   the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');
   echo '</a>';
 }
 ?>

</div>
		</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php if (function_exists('wp_paginate')) {
    wp_paginate();
} ?>
