Pagination not working with pagenavi

Question

I am using PageNavi and have been searching around trying to figure out why I can't get pagination to work. Currently, the page numbers show but when you click on the page numbers, it goes to a page not found page.

Here are some links I've reviewed:

pagenavigation not showing the next page just linking back to the main page

Here is my code:

<?php
    /*Query DW Hammer Articles*/
    $counter = 1; //counter tracks the number of the post we're on
    $paged = get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    $args = array(
        'posts_per_page' => 2,
        'post_type' => 'news_article',
        'orderby'=> 'date',
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'paged' => $paged
    );
    $newsQuery = new WP_Query( $args);
    if ( $newsQuery->have_posts()) : while ( $newsQuery->have_posts()) : $newsQuery->the_post();
        ?>
        <?php get_template_part('templates/content', get_post_type() != 'post' ? get_post_type() : get_post_format()); ?>
        <?php $counter++; endwhile; ?>
        <?php wp_reset_query(); endif;?>
    <div class="wp-pagenavi-container">
        <?php wp_pagenavi( array( 'query' => $newsQuery ) ); wp_reset_query();?>
    </div>

Answer 1

I added the following to my functions.php file and it worked:

function toolset_fix_custom_posts_per_page( $query_string ){
if( is_admin() || ! is_array( $query_string ) )
    return $query_string;

$post_types_to_fix = array(
    array(
        'post_type' => 'news_article',
        'posts_per_page' => 6
    ),
    // add another if you want
    /*
    array(
        'post_type' => 'movie',
        'posts_per_page' => 2
    ),
    */
);

foreach( $post_types_to_fix as $fix ) {
    if( array_key_exists( 'post_type', $query_string )
        && $query_string['post_type'] == $fix['post_type']
    ) {
        $query_string['posts_per_page'] = $fix['posts_per_page'];
        return $query_string;
    }
}

return $query_string;

}

add_filter( 'request', 'toolset_fix_custom_posts_per_page' );
