I am using the built in paginate_links function and setting formatparameter to the default value: '?paged=%#%' . For some reason, it keeps redirecting to a different formatted url. For example, when I click the paginated link to page two it should be www.domain/subpage/?paged=2, but instead it's formatted as www.domain/subpage/page/2 . Not sure how to stop this redirect? Any ideas?
Here's the function with the parameters I'm using:
function custom_page_navi( $totalpages, $page, $end_size, $mid_size )
{
$bignum = 999999999;
if ( $totalpages <= 1 || $page > $totalpages ) return;
//NOTE:
return paginate_links( array(
'format' => '?paged=%#%',
'current' => max( 1, $page ),
'total' => $totalpages,
'prev_next' => false,
'type' => 'list',
'show_all' => false,
'end_size' => $end_size,
'mid_size' => $mid_size
) );
}

Reset to default 1This is a problem with the paginate_links function and having your default permalink structure set to postname/custom but wanting the pagination to use default link structure.
If you look at the code - https://core.trac.wordpress/browser/tags/4.8/src/wp-includes/general-template.php#L0
You can see the following at the top of the paginate_links function
// Setting up default values based on the current URL.
$pagenum_link = html_entity_decode( get_pagenum_link() );
$url_parts = explode( '?', $pagenum_link );
Then lower you will find the following:
// Merge additional query vars found in the original URL into 'add_args' array.
if ( isset( $url_parts[1] ) ) {
Bunch of code here to set the format...
}
So the problem is when you use the postname permalink structure the $url_parts variable will only return 1 array value and the custom format checks only run if there are 2 return values in the array. And the code inside this if statement is what parses the format argument.
Therefore your format argument is completely ignored :(
If you go to Settings > Permalinks and you set your structure to "Plain" you should see the pagination links working as you would like.
You could try filtering the 'get_pagenum_link' function to return a "plain" link since the main issue is that this function ignores the format defined in paginate_links and instead uses the $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() check - https://developer.wordpress/reference/functions/get_pagenum_link/
