Bill,

I'm using this snippet in local dev environment with 15 posts on custom post type. Posts per page set to 5.
First page fine. second page fine. Third and final page - 404 error.
Are there any other consideratios I might need for fixing pagination?

It may help someone out there, but on line 13 I made a change on my site for it to use the options set in WordPress Settings > Reading > Blog Pages Show at Most. This way you can update the settings, and have it reflect without changing the code.

'posts_per_page' => get_option('posts_per_page'),

Thank you! I was having trouble with this.

this one finally worked ... thanks!

Worked when I added genesis_posts_nav(); after the while statement like shown on the blog post: https://www.billerickson.net/code/pagination-in-a-custom-query/
