Its been alot of mess to make the pagination in wordpress :(
I have the pagination, but it renders the same page
template file is

?php get_header(); ?>

    <?php    
        global $my_query;
global $paged;
$paged = get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$temp = $my_query;
$my_query = null;

$args  = array( 
    'post_type' => 'portfolio', 
    'paged' => $paged, 
    'posts_per_page' => 16, 
);
$my_query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => '-1', 'post_type' => 'portfolio' ) );
//do some work

//calling paginate
wp_paginate();
$wp_query = null; 
$wp_query = $temp;
?>

paginate function is

function paginate($args = false) {

                    if ($this->type === 'comments' && !get_option('page_comments'))
                return;

            $r = wp_parse_args($args, $this->options);
            extract($r, EXTR_SKIP);

            if (!isset($page) && !isset($pages)) {


                            global $wp_query;
                            $wp_query->query('post_type=portfolio&posts_per_page=16&paged=' . $paged);
                if ($this->type === 'posts') {
                    $page = get_query_var('paged');
                    $posts_per_page = intval(get_query_var('posts_per_page'));
                    $pages = intval(ceil($wp_query->found_posts / $posts_per_page));
                }

                $page = !empty($page) ? intval($page) : 1;
            }

Its been alot of mess to make the pagination in wordpress :(. I have the pagination, but it renders the same page

I have a question why didn't you post this question at WordPress forum? I mean posting at Daniweb is not bad but know Wordpress had it own forum because it's their product.

Regarding about the pagaination? Did you used a plugin for this?

Here is a tutorial about pagaination:

http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress-pagination-a-primer/

I am using a plugin wp_paginate

Any reason you're not just using the built in WordPress pagination functionality?

@blocblue: I am using a custom theme, named as Ying_and_yang of onion eye. Now there is pagination but its returning the same results on each page :(
