wordpress pagination doesn’t work on “previous page”

I really get stuck with pagination problem in wordpress for more than a week.
The problem: On the first blog page (basically when you just click on the nav menu “blog”) There IS a pagination – here is the source
http://advokat-belyakova.ru/blog/
by pagination I mean just next and prev buttons.
But when I click “previous posts” (“« К предыдущим записям”) right under the posts pagination. Pagination dissapears (http://advokat-belyakova.ru/blog/page/2/)

I’m using simple wp_query

<?php   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
        $temp = $wp_query;$wp_query= null;
        $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query('showposts=20' . '&paged='. $paged . '&cat=-41');
        while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>

I also tried without (this $paged I’ve found in stackoverflow but it doesn’t help me at all 🙁

 $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

Here is my code after the infromation i’ve got by wp_query loop

<?php endwhile; ?>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-12">
                <?php if ($paged > 1) { ?>

                    <nav id="nav-posts">
                        <div class="prev"><p class="pagination"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; К предыдущим записям'); ?></p></div>
                        <div class="next"><p class="pagination pagination-next"><?php previous_posts_link('К новым записям &raquo;'); ?></p></div>
                    </nav>

                <?php } else { ?>

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

                <?php } ?>

            </div>
        </div>
        <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

I’m sorry for russian language in my web site examples. I hope it will be enough and you’ll be able to understand what my problem is.

I have static main page template (custom) but i really haven’t got this problem in the past. If additional info is necessary please ask for it

  1. Find a function that works in my situation

    Here is the function:

    // Numbered Pagination
    if ( !function_exists( 'wpex_pagination' ) ) {
    
    function wpex_pagination() {
    
        $prev_arrow = is_rtl() ? '&rarr;' : '&larr;';
        $next_arrow = is_rtl() ? '&larr;' : '&rarr;';
    
        global $wp_query;
        $total = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
        $big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
        if( $total > 1 )  {
            if( !$current_page = get_query_var('paged') )
                $current_page = 1;
            if( get_option('permalink_structure') ) {
                $format = 'page/%#%/';
            } else {
                $format = '&paged=%#%';
            }
            echo paginate_links(array(
                'base'          => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
                'format'        => $format,
                'current'       => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
                'total'         => $total,
                'mid_size'      => 3,
                'type'          => 'list',
                'prev_text'     => $prev_arrow,
                'next_text'     => $next_arrow,
            ) );
        }
    }
    
    }
    

    The wp_query in blog-page.php (actually almost the same):

    <?php 
            $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
            $temp = $wp_query;$wp_query= null;
            $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query('showposts=7' . '&paged='. $paged . '&cat=-41');
            while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
    

    After getting content inside the loop:

    <?php endwhile; ?>
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-12 pagination-wrapper">
                    <?php wpex_pagination(); ?>
    
    
                </div>
            </div>
            <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
    

    Some basic css for displaying pagination

    ul.page-numbers {
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0;
    }
    
    .page-numbers:after {
    content: ".";
    display: block;
    clear: both;
    visibility: hidden;
    line-height: 0;
    height: 0;
    }
    
    ul.page-numbers li {
    display: block;
    float: left;
    margin: 0 4px 4px 0;
    text-align: center;
    }
    
    .page-numbers a,
    .page-numbers span {
    line-height: 1.6em;
    display: block;
    padding: 0 6px;
    height: 18px;
    line-height: 18px;
    font-size: 12px;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: 400;
    cursor: pointer;
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
    color: #888;
    }
    
    .page-numbers a span { padding: 0 }
    
    .page-numbers a:hover,
    .page-numbers.current,
    .page-numbers.current:hover {
    color: #000;
    background: #f7f7f7;
    text-decoration: none;
    }
    
    .page-numbers:hover { text-decoration: none }
