My pagination is only linking to the same posts that are on my front page.
I have 3 posts on my front page, when I press next it goes to /page/2 but only shows the same 3 posts, with no previous button. The next button is still there, but still goes to page/1
Here is the full query.
<?php
query_posts('post_type=post&posts_per_page=3');
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
$category = choose_one_category(get_the_category());
switch ($category){
case "Festival News":
$left[] = $post;
break;
case "Industry News":
$centre[] = $post;
break;
case "Other":
$right[] = $post;
break;
}
endwhile;
?>
<div class="custom-pagination">
<div ><?php previous_posts_link('« Previous') ?></div>
<div ><?php next_posts_link('Next »') ?></div>
</div>
<?php endif;
?>

Building off of what Rarst has said, I’m pretty sure the query string will retain ‘paged’ queries even if WP_Query
strips it out as irrelevant. You could try replacing your query posts line with this:
global $query_string;
parse_str( $query_string, $my_query_array );
$paged = ( isset( $my_query_array['paged'] ) && !empty( $my_query_array['paged'] ) ) ? $my_query_array['paged'] : 1;
query_posts('post_type=post&posts_per_page=3&paged='.$paged);
