Pagination not working

Hello wp devs,

me again, I need your help here.. I tried everything but no luck!
I have 2 loops (in my blog page template) one is in my sidebar custom widget and second is in my blog page..

<?php
    $args = array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio', 'posts_per_page' => 2);
    query_posts ( $args );    
    while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
     ...content here...
<?php
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_query();
?>

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'paged' => $paged );
$wp_query = new WP_Query( $args );                            
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
?>
       ...content here...
<?php
endwhile;    
wp_reset_query(); 
            ?>

function pagination() {  
        global $wp_query;
        $big = 999999999;

        echo paginate_links( array(
            'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', get_pagenum_link( $big ) ),
            'format' => '?paged=%#%',
            'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
            'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
            'type' => 'list'
        ));

    }

pagination is not working properly when this widget is activated. If I remove this widget it works perfect… I only want to display the pagination correctly..

am I missing something here.. anyone care to help me

thanks

You don’t need to do second query for blog post and also you don’t need wp_reset_query(); for it. Do it only for your widget.

no no… I meant the one loop came from a sidebar widget and the other loop came from a blog page… pagination not displaying properly when I activate this widget in my blog page..

EDIT : oh seems a little problem thank you very much… you save my day
