Paginating Custom Post Types with wp-pagenavi plugin [closed]

Question

I have searched through this site and online foran answer to my problem and tried lots of different suggestions offered and nothing works - please help!

---

I'm using the WP-PageNavi plugin. With the code on my index-work.php page:

<?php query_posts('post_type=work'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="post">
        <div class="boxgrid captionfull">
            <?php the_post_thumbnail('work-thumb'); ?>
            <div class="cover boxcaption backopacity">
                <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
                <?php the_excerpt(''); ?>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

<?php endwhile ?>

<div class="clearleft"></div>
<div class="post-nav">
    <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>  
</div>

<?php else : ?>

    <h2>Not Found</h2>
    <p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

If I have more than 4 pieces of work and I click on the pagination link to go to the next page I get a 404 error. The URL appears as:

http://www.mbsgraphicdesign.com/work/page/2/

Any ideas on how to fix this?

The pagination does not work on my index-work.php page and I get the 404 error as above but if I click on one of the taxonomies in the sidebar, like Artists and go to:

http://www.mbsgraphicdesign.com/workcategories/artists/

The pagination works fine using the exact same code and I get taken to:

http://www.mbsgraphicdesign.com/workcategories/artists/page/2/

with no 404 error. Why does it work here but not on the index page and how do I solve this issue?

----------EDIT-------------

In case this is important I have my permalinks structure set as follows:

/%category%/%postname%/

If i change this to be:

/blog/%category%/%postname%/

all the pagination works fine through the work section but the URLS are all wrong - they look fine within the blog, but within my work pages I now get:

http://www.mbsgraphicdesign.com/blog/work/british-american-project/

I don't want the /blog bit to be there!

This is SO frustrating - can anyone help me with this?????

Does this work?

<?php $paged = (get_query_var( 'paged' )) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1; ?>
<?php query_posts('paged=' . $paged . '&post_type=work&offset=0'); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="post">
        <div class="boxgrid captionfull">
            <?php the_post_thumbnail('work-thumb'); ?>
            <div class="cover boxcaption backopacity">
                <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
                <?php the_excerpt(''); ?>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

<?php endwhile ?>

<div class="clearleft"></div>
<div class="post-nav">
    <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>  
</div>

<?php else : ?>

    <h2>Not Found</h2>
    <p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

EDIT:

@Staffan-Estberg had a similar problem here: WP-PageNavi gives me a 404 when using WP Query

He solved it by installing the Category Pagination Fix plugin, perhaps this may work for you too? You could also add the plugin function to your theme functions.php file:

function remove_page_from_query_string($query_string) { 
    if ($query_string['name'] == 'page' && isset($query_string['page'])) {
        unset($query_string['name']);
        list($delim, $page_index) = split('/', $query_string['page']);
        $query_string['paged'] = $page_index;
    }
    return $query_string;
}
add_filter('request', 'remove_page_from_query_string');

Let us know if that works for you.
