Custom Post Type Pagination Not Working On Archive Page

by

Modify main query on post type archive page

Instead of direct modify main query, just use normal loop ( you can create post type template, in your case archive-portofolio.php ), and run your modifying query under filter pre_get_posts.

Your normal loop on archive-portfolio.php

<div class="row text-center small-up-1 medium-up-2 large-up-3 small_section">
  <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
  <div class="columns"> 
    <div class="box relative">
      <a class="overlay" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
        <div class="vertical_align">
          <h5><?php the_title();?></h5>
         <!-- YOUR ANOTHER STUFF -->
        </div>
      </a>
     <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
    </div>
  </div>
  <?php endwhile; ?>

  <!-- Pagination Goes Here -->
  <div class="row">
    <div class="small-12 columns">
    <?php
        the_posts_pagination( array(
            'mid_size'  => 2,
            'prev_text' => 'Previous',
            'next_text' => 'Next',
        ) );
    ?>
    </div>
  </div>
  <?php else : ?>
  <p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
  <?php endif; ?>
</div>

Modifying query post type in functions.php

add_action( 'pre_get_posts' ,'wpse222471_query_post_type_portofolio', 1, 1 );
function wpse222471_query_post_type_portofolio( $query )
{
    if ( ! is_admin() && is_post_type_archive( 'portofolio' ) && $query->is_main_query() )
    {
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 6 ); //set query arg ( key, value )
    }
}
