Isn’t it just your front page where pagination (older/newer post links) doesn’t work? It seems to work in category and tag archive pages for example.
I also noticed that your tag archive pages aren’t working. For example: https://www.korywoodard.com/tag/home-decor/
Instead this is working:
https://www.korywoodard.com/tags/home-decor/
so I guess the tag base is modified at some point from tag to tags. Maybe you could fix this too by trying to set the tag base to the default value tag in permalink settings -> optional -> tag base, or if the default value won’t work, try something else, for example, tags, or still something else if even that won’t work.
It would be my guess to try to assign the default or a custom value to pagination_base too, and see if it fixed your home page’s “Older/newer posts” links, since all the links problems might be related.
Taken from here (slightly modified):

try adding this to the end of your theme’s functions.php:
function my_custom_pagination_base() {
global $wp_rewrite;
// Change the value of the author permalink base to whatever you want here
$wp_rewrite->pagination_base = 'page';
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_custom_pagination_base', 10000 );
Remember to empty browser cache before trying out if it worked.
If it’s not working, try something else for pagination_base: change the 5th line to
$wp_rewrite->pagination_base = 'pages';
If not working, just to be sure, try keeping the last modification and change the last line to be
add_action( 'init', 'my_custom_pagination_base', PHP_INT_MAX );
A quick search on google shows that at least Yoast SEO has caused lots of similar problems. People have been able to sometimes fix them by toggling Yoast SEO settings on and off. What other plugins are you using by the way?
