I've got a page of which I'm displaying a load of custom post type posts, much like blog displays a load of posts.

I'm using WP_Query and have my pagination links outputting correctly, however when I navigate to the page 2 url (/my_page/page/2) I get a 404, not surprising because I think WordPress thinks I want sub pages... but I don't, I want that value as the paged value.

Is there a way to enable this on a specific page?

Already tried get_query_var( 'paged' );? If not: search for that (via google) on the site. – kaiser Oct 5 '12 at 11:58
That would work on the designated blog page, but this is just a standard page. WordPress must think I want sub pages page and 2... I don't. – Ben Everard Oct 5 '12 at 12:03
Ah, ok. You ain't got IDs like this in custom permalinks (unless you haven't set them up to append the ID). Your ID is replaced by your page slug for e.g. /my_page. If you then add /page it does a lookup (depending on your rewrite rules) for page/paged query var with the value 2. You need to add much more info to that question. – kaiser Oct 5 '12 at 12:10

in that Archive page, where you have your pagination (did you create it?) use add_query_arg('paged', (int)get_query_var( 'paged' )+1); for the 'next page' href.

Also, WP Page-Navi is a GREAT and easy way to add pagination to your archive-post_type.php file
