I would like to know why my custom post type pages do not accept paged pages?
On a normal page I can list custom post types without problems, but on a custom post type page, it seems impossible. I would like to make custom list pages to list custom posts types based on various queries.
I.e. if I would like to list all my custom post types on a page with a pagination, the URL or permalink structure would look something like this: http://www.url.com/taxonomy/document/page/2/, but I can't access that page at all, it simply redirect the additional pages (like 2, 3, 4, etc) to the root page http://www.url.com/taxonomy/document/.
I tried all kind of weird and wonderful solutions that I've found online, but nothing seems to fix it?
The reason I don't want to use a standard page with a custom template, is because it will need specific settings to set up search queries, which a normal page should not have.
This is the code snippet, and it works totally fine on a custom page template (template-list.php), but not on a custom post type page.
$entry = new ThemeOptions\PropertyListing();
$max = get_option('posts_per_page');
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'property',
'posts_per_page' => $max,
'paged' => $paged,
'tax_query' => '',
'meta_query' => '',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'orderby' => '',
'order' => 'DESC'
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
if ($query->have_posts()) :
while($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
echo $entry->display($post);
endwhile;
$wp_query = $query;
get_template_part('/includes/layout/pagination', '');
else:
echo "No posts found!! <br>";
endif;
This is the custom post type on which I would like to list other post types and on which the pagination or paged pages fails.

I'm not sure if there is anything missing to allow pagination
