WP - Pagination in category loop not working - php

Question

I have problem with pagination in my loop in category.php
Link send me to: ?cat=9&paged=2 don't show posts just home page.
My loop:
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('showposts=2&post_type=blog'.'&paged='.$paged);
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
//CONTENT
endwhile;
get_template_part('pagination');
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = $temp; // Reset
and this is function:
function silon_pagination($pages = '', $range = 4){
$showitems = ($range * 2)+1;
global $paged;
if(empty($paged))
$paged = 1;
if($pages == ''){
global $wp_query;
$pages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
if(!$pages)
$pages = 1;
}
if(1 != $pages){
echo "<div class=\"pagination\"><span>Strona ".$paged." z ".$pages."</span>";
if($paged > 2 && $paged > $range+1 && $showitems < $pages)
echo "<a href='".get_pagenum_link(1)."'>« Pierwsza</a>";
if($paged > 1 && $showitems < $pages) echo "<a href='".get_pagenum_link($paged - 1)."'>‹ Poprzednia</a>";
for ($i=1; $i <= $pages; $i++){
if (1 != $pages &&( !($i >= $paged+$range+1 || $i <= $paged-$range-1) || $pages <= $showitems )){
echo ($paged == $i)? "<span class=\"current\">".$i."</span>":"".$i."";
}
}
if ($paged < $pages && $showitems < $pages)
echo "Następna ›";
if ($paged < $pages-1 && $paged+$range-1 < $pages && $showitems < $pages)
echo "<a href='".get_pagenum_link($pages)."'>Ostatnia »</a>";
echo "</div>\n";
}
}

Answer 1

Had a look at the tutorial, I use exactly the same pagination function in my theme. Great function. I don't know why you are using get_template_part('pagination'); Your pagination can just be simply called by silon_pagination(); in place of get_template_part('pagination');

Answer 2

while debugging i found out that default posts per page option should be less than any custom posts_per_page in query_posts function. That's all. Weird, but that's the fact.
