WordPress

now pagination is displayed, but after clicking on any of the pages it says page not found

                              'total' => $query->max_num_pages,
                              'prev_next' => '',

Depends where you are. If this is any archive page (archive.php, category.php, home.php, etc.), then there is already a global request and there is wp_query() NO NEED to call a custom instance . If you need to change the query, then you need to do it on the hook pre_get_posts
. For this, the existing query will work native functions for pagination the_posts_pagination()and the_posts_navigation(), I advise you to look at any popular or standard twenty theme as an example
. In rare cases, outside of archived pages, you may actually need to order from the record database and make pagination for them. Because I have already answered this question many times, then I wrote an article with a good working example , I recommend that you read
