    hello,
    I am building a template from scratch.
    i have a problem with the post-navigation on my front-page.php (static page).
    it will always return the same posts…

    If i change in Admin->Settings->Reading->Front page ->displays to ->Your latest posts the same code works perfectly.

    What am I doing wrong?
    front-page.php:

    <?php
/**
 * Template Name: Home Template
 */

get_header(); ?>
<?php

if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   //home page stuff

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
    //
<?php endif; ?>

<div id="site-content">
        <div id="list">
            <?php

            $temp = $wp_query;
            $wp_query = null;
            $wp_query = new WP_Query();
            $wp_query->query('showposts=5' . '&paged=' . $paged);
            ?>
            <?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) :
                $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
                <?php get_template_part('content', get_post_format()); ?> <?php endwhile; ?>

        </div>
    </div>
<?php if ($paged > 1) { ?>

    <nav id="nav-posts">
        <div class="prev"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Posts'); ?></div>
        <div class="next"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Posts &raquo;'); ?></div>
    </nav>

<?php } else { ?>

    <nav id="nav-posts">
        <div class="prev"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Posts'); ?></div>
    </nav>

<?php } ?>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

    Also see this example from next_posts_link how to use it with a custom query: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/next_posts_link#Usage_when_querying_the_loop_with_WP_Query

    Here is an example:

    <?php
/**
 * Template Name: Home Template
 */

get_header(); ?>
<?php

if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   //home page stuff

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<div id="site-content">
        <div id="list">
            <?php
$paged = ( get_query_var( 'page' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'page' ) : 1;
$the_query = new WP_Query( 'posts_per_page=5&paged=' . $paged );
?>
            <?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
    $the_query->the_post(); ?>
                <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?> <?php endwhile; ?>

        </div>
    </div>
<?php if ( $paged > 1 ) { ?>

    <nav id="nav-posts">
        <div class="prev"><?php next_posts_link( '? Previous Posts', $the_query->max_num_pages ); ?></div>
        <div class="next"><?php previous_posts_link( 'Newer Posts ?' ); ?></div>
    </nav>

<?php } else { ?>

    <nav id="nav-posts">
        <div class="prev"><?php next_posts_link( '? Previous Posts', $the_query->max_num_pages ); ?></div>
    </nav>

<?php } ?>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
